Ha! I googled snood tutorials for you @lightningmcstitch and it came up with Hijabs?! But I did find this http://momsbestnetwork.com/diy-infinity-or-circle-scarf-tutorial-aka-the-snood/. I hope this is helpful and you can make lots.

It was one of those stupidly baffling sewing tubes things. Should have been as easy as anything. I thought for a moment about looking for an online tute before I started, then thought, nah, how hard could it be…
Famous last words.

Loving the new ability to find a user via the drop down menu that appears after typing the @ symbol. Thanks @admin !

I find that the display for posting in the forum is still slightly too narrow when viewed on my Nokia Windows phone. I can’t get to the submit button unless I hit return. Like this .

Love the sound of that trench @with-love-heidi.
@jackir the LTTS book is such a treasure trove. Have fun with it.
I just got back from the school run and it is soooooo cold. We ride our bikes and now I’m going to knock up some snoods (neckwarmers) out of leftover bits of polar fleece.

I’d love a slip pattern, although I can think of two or three existing patterns that would be dead easy to convert.

How about nightgown/robe?

I make this for my girl and find I often have a little volume at the top of the sleeve cap (maybe I am stretching it while I sew, or cutting inaccurately) and I like to put in a little pleat or gathers. It’s not a lot. I add a bit of length and might size down just one size, now that she’s getting tall faster than she’s getting wide. She’s five…[Read more]

Thanks for the suggestions, ladies! I hadn’t thought about the buttoning. I wanted to give gathering instead of pleating a shot. I am just so excited she agreed, haha:)

Thanks to all of you who were interested and offered to help.

I wanted to give an update that we’ve got the samples assigned out now, so we don’t need any more offers of assistance. But it was nice to hear from so many people who were willing to help! We appreciate it.

As Nicole said, remembering to change the buttoning side should be all it needs. I wonder if it would be nice at the back to gather the section that is normally an inverted box pleat. The box pleat is quite business shirt-like to my mind.

I’ve got another, slightly different way to avoid hand sewing which is shown here: http://bartacksandsingletrack.blogspot.com.au/2013/11/hats-galore-and-no-hand-sewing-tip.html
What makes the biggest difference to how it comes together is the amount that you’ve turned up the seam allowance on the lining crown. Being out by a little bit here makes…[Read more]

I have swopped to glue sticks, far more durable.

You could swop the side that you button on but my girls happily wear Hugo’s hand-me-downs.
Lidia is wearing them now, that is the third child to have them.

I would love something similar to the Gallery for my girls.
