Yes we are. The time will fly by if you make a monochrome item? Well that’s what I am doing while waiting anyway.
Tamara replied to the topic Flickr troubles? in the forum off topic 10 years ago

That’s a good question Sarvi. I have no clue!

I find it funny how it is just Flickr I seem to have issues with. I have slowed down the speed at which I type the message and then click (I pause between the two) if this is what you mean. It doesn’t make a difference. Some pictures I have success with while others I have to give up on. Its a…[Read more]

How do you control the speed of the click?

I love the Kaufman London Calling line, it’s a pleasure to sew. I vote for the Butterfly set as I recall the Music Class being not the world’s quickest sew. You know your own sewing though, if you’re familiar with it and feel confident, I’m sure you’ll get loads of use from the blouse, in particular, well after the recital. I’d go for a darker…[Read more]

I am also considering using a corduroy for the exterior and a satin lining. Given that it’s my first time making this pattern as well as the first time making grown up clothes it might be best to keep it simple and not have to worry too much about pattern matching. It wouldn’t be a winter coat with these fabrics but would be okay for the shoulder…[Read more]

Thank you Nicole for your advice! No need to feel mean, it would be terrible to pay all that money just to end up with something unusable! I’m excited to take a look at eBay, I had never thought to look there for fabric. You linked to some really cute ones! 🙂

@needlewoman hope your mind has stopped boggling. Boxer shorts complete and a very happy hubby. He says “I’ve waited fourteen years for you to make me something” – happy anniversary babe!

Next I have to turn my attention back to completing the blue puppet show dress and the family reunion dress which just requires buttons.

The white puppet show…[Read more]

Hi Lisa.

I love love love that pattern and your fabric choice is gorgeous but…. may I suggest you definitely request a sample?
I regularly run the gauntlet of unusual fabric choices but the description does say heavy and there is no mention of apparel at all.
You would also have some pattern matching to do with the plaid.
Also, it is dry clean…[Read more]

Hello! Not sure if I’m posting in the correct place but I’ll give this a whirl! (Update, I appear to be posting in the correct space now after an initial error). I would like to make the Caramel Jacket by Waffle patterns for myself. Will a fabric that is 9.2 oz per square yard be too heavy? It is described as upholstery fabric so I’m think…[Read more]

Thank you @needlewoman, she is beyond thrilled.

@ann-maree, I just took my time, and used a very fine sharp needle. Zara would like a peplum top made from the remnant but I told her I need a break before tackling that cloth again.

Thank you!
