It worked! And it was so beautiful!! You can see photos here: http://skirtfixation.com/2014/12/bistro-dress-liesl-co/
Thanks everyone for your help.

Oooh, thank you @JWo, that looks good, there are some lovely colours of cord.

I’m also going to get some samples from https://www.myfabrics.co.uk/cotton-jersey-medium.html

I have no idea what it’s like, but it does at least tell me the fabric composition.

After talking with my husband tonight we decided that as well as a hood and ears the onsie should have zip off feet (like boots) and zip off mittens too 🙂 Off to Spotlight again in the morning.
We rather like gadgets and overcomplicating things!
At least I think the zip off mittens should be easier than the integrated ones I drafted for the kids…[Read more]

I made a gorgeous white Coral fleece Cosy Bear hood from LTTS today. As I was sewing the ears down, the last step, to help them sit up nicley. I discovered I had left a pin in the bottom of one of the ears, inside the lined hood I had already sewn shut! I had to make a tiny hole behind the ear to get the pin out.
Lesson learnt, don’t use…[Read more]

Thanks for sharing your adventure. I am glad you have a pair that fits now. My daughter has requested some of these so I shall make sure I am extra diligent with the markings and the fittings.

I came so close to shortening the waistband again (albeit by much less) as the pants did seem to fit. But then I tried the waistband on by itself and if I shortened it, it would have been too small.

So, I pinned the ends of the waistband to the edges of the opened left pocket, ignored all notches and pinned it to fit the pants. The pants required…[Read more]

@dubhels2003, I have bought quite a bit of fabric from dotsnstripes.co.uk. Nicole, the owner, has a lovely selection of plain and patterned jersey fabrics as well as some sweatshirting. I alsreally like her corduroy fabrics.
The service is also fantastic!

After finishing the onsie, I had enough of the coral fleece left over to cut out a Cosy Bear hood from LTTS and a lullaby jacket! Not bad for a $2, <1m remanent. The bear hood is all done, and so cute and soft.
I’m not lining the jacket as I want it as cuddly on the outside as the I side. I just realised I want to add a zip to the front…[Read more]

@meleliza, yes, she said I needed a girdle?!?!

Good luck @justsewit.

Class Picnic blouse and shorts finished. I piped the shorts facing which actually made the easier to sew. How often that does happen?

Now I must finish this dress for my cousin. A sweet baby boy named Eoin placed it on hold for 12 months.

@kgiff, I will get on to that for you.
It would be my pleasure.

@Nicole, I’d love to know the sellers you’ve found on eBay or search terms to use. I’m overwhelmed when looking both on Easy and eBay.
