  • Hello, friends! I’m so glad you’re joining me for our Lisette coat B6244 sew-along. This is a really fast sew: with only three pattern pieces, no lining or facings, and a minimum of seams, we’ll be spending more time on flat-finishing the seams than on anything else. If you’ve never tried a flat-felled seam before, I think you’re going to like the…[Read more]

    Well, he is an absolute genius in my opinion. And I’m sure you can imagine how much I’d love to recreate almost every stage costume he ever wore. I think the silver clown suit with cone hat from Ashes to Ashes would make the best halloween costume ever.

    I’m really unsure as to variety of flavours or anything for overseas. I’m even not that sure about how accessible it would be for him to access them from the US. Even that would incur some research. I think he just mentioned it because that was something he missed about home. I am happy to send to him. It would help relieve the homesickness.

    I say go with what feels right. Maybe do a circulation or one pattern at a time? I like the circulation bit better myself that way you don’t run the risk of being bored with the same old twenty times over. You could do them assembly style if you did chose to do say class picnic tops all in one go though.

    He tells me he has milo on everything 😜😳 but then he is training with the wrestling team and of course needs the stuff for energy. He tells me it tastes wierd (no offence to Canadian products or anything. I think he is used to the way it tastes at home). He’s also been looking for timtams and can’t find them anywhere.

  • That would work fine with cotton webbing, ribbon may be a bit flimsy.

  • I’m assembly-lining five of these and am wondering whether I couldn’t completely stitch the bodies, turn, and enclose, and then add the straps last. I’m thinking of using webbing/tape/wide ribbon to save myself a bit of work. Am I missing a down side to this, other than it not looking as tidy?

    Karen will you put them in with the others for the monochrome project. Just add #oliverandsmonochrome to them in flickr so we can find them because we would love to see them and it looks like several ladies have made something and missed the deadline. It’s no biggie!
