I completed a Field Trip tee for the younger girl – my first ever tee success for her!

I also completed an SBCC Tonic 2 tee for the older one – she’s sized out of O&S lengthwise but she’s such a slender little thing she needs the petite proportions of SBCC.

Finally, I’m working on a Liesl & Co. Gallery Tunic for myself. In white linen. Under…[Read more]

Thanks for the suggestions @LightningMcStitch ! I am thinking about using either the Music Class blouse or the Sunday Brunch jacket as a starting point for the collar/top. It does need to be an all in one dress as she only wears dress – 24/7 and usually only pink. She makes an exception for Anna outfits. ;-P

@with love Heidi thanks! I will take…[Read more]

@caraskates I searched for the image (frozen ignoramus I’m afraid) and how about this: Music Class blouse, Lazy Days Skirt then a bodice whatsit that laces at the back to go over the top.
Then you’ve got separates that are wearable as everyday items and whack in the brooch at the neck and the bodice and you’re instantly Anna.
You could use a…[Read more]

I would wait for the new book due out this week as I understand it’s all about pattern modification 🙂

Oops; right when I hit post, I realized that it’s the plug-in my husband installed (Ghostery); I cleared the “google search” and it’s working again. 😀

I have separately made the FT Raglan into both a zip-up front jacket and a pullover hoodie (using the hood from the School Days jacket) – I think it would probably be fairly straightforward to do them both together.

Maybe the Zonen09 Ole. Comes with button up or a zip variation (free download add-on).

Would the new Lisette athletic pattern be too big for her? I think the jacket would work well in a knit: https://oliverands.com/lisette-patterns/OLV-B6386.html

Thank you for your help. I want to sew the trim on the fancier way because the inside of the hems are visible at times.

I suppose I could use the naturewalk top and forgo the hood?

@kmac0107 Kim, do you mind if the trim shows on the reverse side?
If you don’t then it would be as simple as turning up the hem allowance, pinning the trim to the underside then stitching it on while stitching the hem.
If you want to go fancier…. You could try the following:
Trim off any hem allowance in excess of a 1/2 seam allowance. Line up…[Read more]

What great value @reeni.

I am onto about my fifth muslin for the ginger jeans – finally caved on that pattern. I think I know what to adjust where in order to get them perfect. Then I can make a cone denim pair and a black pair. The black ones are intended as a show entry but, I think I have just discovered a case of hand foot and mouth disease…[Read more]

I have completed two Sketchbook Shorts and a Book Report Dress for the grandkids back to school wardrobes.
