I can’t believe I pondered this question for over a year! Yesterday, I dug some lightweight chambray out of my stash and gave it a try. The French seams look like they’re working out so far. Lining the yokes might be neater. Its a really sweet little blouse.

I’m soooo close to finished with a Music Class blouse. I got the pattern a couple years back, and I’ve been a little scared of the blouse. But this weekend, I pulled out some fabric from my stash and pushed through it. It was not hard. I just have hems and buttonholes left.

I love it! I think there are more of these in my future.

No sewing today but eventually this week will have me finishing off the corduroy puppet show dress I had started, but not before I do some tidying up in the sewing room first. I tend to get messy when I create!

Then it is gritting the teeth and getting into “ball dress” making mode. And then I can get back to some fun baby sewing again.

I have been tweaking some things with our caching setup behind the scenes here over the past week in an effort to make the site faster. One change we made did not end up making the site faster and in fact seemed to slow it down. So, as of an hour ago, we have reverted that change.

One other change that was made has to do with the main forums…[Read more]

Sure thing, here it is:

adding pom poms and tassels to oliver + s patterns

Looking forward to seeing what you gals come up with!

Hello to all,
Where is that blog post? The dress in the picture looks so… I don’t even know how to say it in english, so angelic and sweet and innocent.
Who don’t want to sew that? I do, as soon as possible. I notice some differences between the pattern and the dress in the picture but I think that the easier way is just to omit the waistband…[Read more]

And here’s a trim that might look nice with it:

Is it a home-sewn dress? Or a commercial product? The original image comes from an Etsy page selling the little bow in the girl’s hair, so I don’t think that whoever made or manufactures that dress can see your question.

Here’s a crinkled gauze that’s inexpensive and might work — give it a try and see what you come up with! Good…[Read more]

Ooh, good sources! I hadn’t heard of the French shop. So cute!

@lightningmcstitch I love the blue/lime and pink/rose stars! 🙂 I’ll have to brush up on my high school French and browse the site some more.

Thank you all for those links! I’ll check them out today. As far as price point, Liberty fleece is pricier than I’d probably be willing to pay for toddler clothing, but I’m willing to pay for good quality fabric that will stand up to repeated washing ;).
