    Well I started on the parachute polo today. I hd to cut a second front because it seems I don’t know my right from my left! Fortunately I got it correct second time around. I am now up to stitching the sleeves, after spending time hand basting. I find that interlock can be a bit of a beast and my machine likes to eat it!

    Oh both options seem pleasing! I was thinking of drafting the butterfly skirt myself tonight but ended up hand basting the sleeves to the parachute polo instead.

    Good to hear it was as simple as a new lens script Nicole.

    Thank you @justsewit , a new lens prescription and the advice to keep an eye on her. No drops today but I can understand your little mans reluctance, the Twins said they do sting a bit.

    You could try two rows. I have just attached the collar to mine (6-12 months) and it took a little bit of careful manipulation. Hand basting is very beneficial to tame it in. I’m using interlock and it can be temperamental.

    And I too stuffed the first front with the placket! Did it the wrong way around!

    Hope it was that simple Nicole! My kids were under opthamologist care until last year. The girls at the optometrist I go to are hoping Chloe won’t need a referral too! So far so good but you never know. She would have to have drops when she visits doesn’t she? I had to hold Noah down for them along with two other adults he hated them that…[Read more]

    @dubhels2003 I am sorry for her. I can remember Chicken Pox and bathing with a calico sachet of oats in the water.

    I am heading to the city so shall have good internet for the day but not for a fun reason. Lidia (11) is having vision problems and I ranG her ophthalmologist and he wanted to see her ASAP.
    Fingers crossed it is just a lens adjustment.

    Probably. I know it is huge in some European royal families to have their children wear smocked clothing – Netherlands comes to mind there. I love his little outfit he is wearing in the photo.

    It would be fun to see how he is dressed as he grows.

  • No not too much at all! It would be adorable!

  • Tamara replied to the topic What are you sewing now? in the forum off topic 10 years ago

    Looks terrifc Nicole and I am so glad she is living in it as that means it was worth the trouble of sewing it for her (not that it would be trouble at all).

    I have a parachute polo cut out of city weekend interlock that I want to sew this weekend. I have already made a pair of parachute pants and they are so cute and very worthy of two hours at…[Read more]

    @EllenMCM it was a really good sew.
    I used the Lisette blog sew-a-long method and bagged the lining. I had started with the paper pattern but got stuck on the zipper insertion. The paper pattern is incorrect.
    Once I went to the blog I zoomed along.
    It was 6 hours sewing time and I altered the waist for Zara (15). I think it would be good to alter…[Read more]
