Judging from what many authors (in general) say about preparing and writing their books (novels etc). It is one mammoth task. September seems so long away but it will be here before you know it. I mean it’s mid year already this year is a flying!

I am looking forward to this book. And thanks for the big hint there @todd😉 It must be very difficult…[Read more]

I can’t decide which is my size
Do I go by my waist or my thighs?
I could measure my head
Or my chest instead
Just so long as it has enough rise!

The season for sewing has changed

You can think of the book that will be out in September as one gigantic, huge Oliver + S pattern. Or a large number of Oliver + S patterns.

But that’s all I’m saying for now….

@cybele727 so glad you “found” the popover.

@motherof5 guess what?! I found some denim/wool blend!!! At my local Spotlight!!! I told the woman at the counter they won the fabric lotto. There were two kinds, one that had this plush look about it almost like corduroy but not and a gold/blue thing happening. The other…[Read more]

Why don’t you colour block and cut the 2 for the top and then make it wider, gradually, with a bit of trimming as you go?

@eboyd83 I have tried a few but my latest ones are from Cash’s name labels.

They have been the best, and if you contact them directly they will do a large bulk order.

There is rumoured to be a new book
The cover, it has a good look
But I just can’t decide
If I step up or hide
Perhaps a challenge to be undertook

Jenny, I get “rattled” watching what is happening in the US. And it’s hard to work in the industry you do.

Sew something pretty. Hug your kids.

So wish I could just pop by for a gab and some stitching. Hang in there.

Maybe make a size 5 with extra length? You can always cross tie the straps across the back like my friend did with the first one I made her daughter that was initially to big, she ended up wearing it for 3 years straight!

@motherof5 Hi, I was wondering where you get your clothing labels that I have seen in your pictures. They are really nice looking and I wanted to get some labels made to personalize my kids clothes.

I can’t figure out how to private message people or if that is even an option in this forum.

Never mind I found my answer on a different thread.

So.. There’s no Oliver + s patterns in the works for this year at all? Sad!

So I have been in an absolute FUNK. 🙁

This primary election business is getting to me because of all the vitriol and I can’t simply turn away because it is our future. (US) (That’s all I will say about politics here.)

And work has been icky. I’ve had to deal with more people who think that fists are an acceptable form of communication…[Read more]
