Tamara,

Happy Babying! Snuggle lots!

Whoa, I’m still struggling on this one…

I unpicked my attached and topstitched waistband, cut a new one, unpicked the front and back box pleats and started over.

I redid the box pleats with the new correct pattern markings, and the culottes appear to fit just fine now.

As I’ve gone to attach the waistband I’ve encountered another problem with…[Read more]

Hi,

Hello everyone! I am hoping this is a friendly place.

I was browsing online and came across this site. Not sure if I am in the right place, but I am hoping someone can point me in the direction to a decent pattern for a doggy jacket as my dog is 15 and not feeling too well.

Well done! They look so neat.

All the best Tamara. Enjoy those newborn snuggles.

It takes a bit of time to really find out what works best so taking your time is a sensible one. I have rearranged my sewing room (again) simply because it is so darn hot I want the sofa bed in the coolest part of the room.

I decided to try to finish the outer edge of the pocket bag (Seashore Sundress) with French seams, and it worked! Yea!!!

I can’t wait until I get to set up my room. I am deliberately taking my time to set it up as I want. I think the room is about 8X11. I am so excited to get out of the nasty basement. It is so dirty there and hard to keep the machines clean. (Of course, I don’t mean my threads all over.) 🙂

Heidi, I’ll weigh in here… As I sew, I carefully sort the little stringy scraps from scraps that I could get, say about a 3″ x 4″ piece out of, or any straight strip, if it’s fabric I love. I put these in a big plastic bag, where they sit in the bottom of the guest room closet for a year or so. Then one day, when I’m cleaning house and feeling…[Read more]

Last night I sewed up 3 pair of Sleepover bottoms with fleece. Kids were pleased. Also made a fleece Dallas Stars blanket for youngest boy and a Texas Rangers fleece pillowcase for older boy from jammie scraps. 😛

Today I am finishing the large Messenger Bag from LTTS for a friend after making a second trip to the store for proper hardware.…[Read more]
