Tamara this is such a clever idea! Thankyou for popping it up.

They’re fantastic! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for all the tips and suggestions! Unfortunately the baptism was postponed due to a nasty stomach bug taking out their entire house (except for the little guy, gotta love those mama’s milk immunities!). It might not happen till May now so I’m going to wait a little and see how much he grows. I am still making him a pair of sailboat pants as…[Read more]

Here’s a fantastic tutorial,http://www.ikatbag.com/2010/11/pockets-i-classic-patch-pockets.html
There is a whole series just on pockets on the website 🙂

Thanks for the ideas! How would I make those pockets? I’ve only made side seam pockets before.

You could easily use the Women’s Metro T-shirt pattern from Liesl and Co. Especially with the tunic you already purchased, you can measure where to cut the shirt pattern to make the skirt. This tutorial should help, just make the skirt portion longer: http://oliverands.com/community/blog/2014/02/customizing-the-raglan-peplum-ruffle.html

@dubhels2003 do you really think I get alot done? Well probably for someone with three kids it is true but personally all my projects are in danger of ending up in the unfinished basket.

@justsewit I can’t believe how much you get sewed! @thejennigirl I hope you managed to crack into some WIPs. The only way I seem to get mine finished is if I also ‘treat’ myself with something new!

What about the Colette Moneta?https://www.colettepatterns.com/catalog/moneta
You might need to shorten the bodice but the main design elements are there.

Oh I can so relate @thejennigirl. Imogen received a sewing machine from my mum for her birthday just gone and whilst she has dabbled, I was really hoping this time (and precious time that it is) would help her learn more, spend some valuable time with me and help her to take some ownership in what she wants to wear. Alas it has all fallen by the…[Read more]
