    Hello fellow sewists,
    I’ll be visiting Minneapolis at the end of the month and was wondering if any residents had tips on places to go for sewing supplies?

    Nice one @yirg 😃
    @todd that cracked me up, your summation of the American psyche almost sounded like it came from a Canadian or Aussie! 😅
    …. And made me realise a way in which metric may just pervade after all. Don’t you measure your guns in millimetres? I know nothing of guns but even I’ve heard of a 9mm pistol. How many sixteenths’ of an inch…[Read more]

    Well, as a child of the seventies in the US I remember when President Ford announced we would be joining the rest of the world and going metric. And I remember getting a crash course in metric measurement in grade school.

    And then, nothing…. The people spoke and said, “We don’t like change. And we like all this confusing non base ten stuff and…[Read more]

    LOL as a child of the sixties in the UK I can work in either with equal ease. I’m sure one day the USA will catch up with the rest of the world and go metric, heck they might even start using the correct size paper 😉

    Thank you.

    The most frustrating part of this exercise is finding out that the patterns you bought when she was in the smallest size are now outgrown and the larger sizes have to be bought🙄. A similar thing to them outgrowing a size 4 and having to buy the larger size range to still wear the style. The onesie pattern is now too small and I don’t have enough…[Read more]

  • As frustrating as it is to sew for a fast growing/changing body, her having well fitting clothes is a blessing 🙂
    I’m currently working on pants fitting.
    I’ve had to redo my patterns as I’ve lost weight and can’t use my TNT. I was going to wait until I reached my goal weight to do it but the inches have come off much faster than I anticipated and…[Read more]

    Hit a hige snage! The lisette pj’s is the smaller size and only goes to a 14. I need a 16! Will have to see if I have enough of the rigt fabric to accomodate a onesie instead😕

    It’s a very fun print you’ve chosen @madtownmama😄 They both look great!

    I am still tracing patterns. I got out of bed to feed the baby this morning, thinking it was 5.30am but it was only 2.50am – must’ve had a power failure during the night. Anyway, I got up,mfeeling awake and cut out the traced patterns I had done yesterday so all I have to do…[Read more]

  • Susan replied to the topic What are you sewing now? in the forum off topic 9 years ago

    Loving the Lullaby Layette pattern. I’ve made two bodysuits and a top so far. One is with Cloud 9 double gauze leftover from MBR Luna Pants I finished today. I’m calling them my crazy pants because it’s s rather loud print, not my usual style but I kinda love them.
