My goodness, I had forgotten all about that beautiful dress!

Good on you Heidi. I donated a tub of cut out WIP’s last year. Very cathartic. I am like an ex-smoker now. I cut-I sew. I am terrified of going back to that!

Tonight I finished Zara’s Lisette Moto jacket (B6169). We went with the size 6 with an inch off the waist. Zara chose the leftovers from Hugo’s jacket, charcoal wool and we splurged on some…[Read more]

@roundtheworldgirl how did the velvet playdate turn out? Did you make it in the end? I must wanted to find out as I am considering this pattern for some double velvet I purchased recently, but am at a loss as to what to use for the yoke as I don’t have any in white.

@Deepa that is a good thought.

I am planning a pair in the smallest size to be made with drill. So will see if it has something to do with the fabric.

It’s sort of to take over from the ill fated music class shirt – which will be looked at and hopefully correctly completed soon. I made a pair of pink playtime leggings and the liberty pepler will go with it so there is another outfit sorted.

I don’t feel like sewing corduroy at the moment. The weather is just too hot! Everywhere else in…[Read more]

I just received a delightful little package in the post from @dubhels2003 Liberty fat quarters and gorgeous trims! What’s more i got word her daughter adores the Fairy Tale dress I passed on. Bursting with happiness. Sewing friends are the best!

I’m with @Inder–use it or trim and yokes and details and you’ll get lots of mileage out of it! But I love @with-love-heidi‘s list! Can’t wait to see it.

I think it’s a matter of personal preference, yes. I used this method for the instructions because it’s less fiddly. But if you prefer the single fold bias method that’s an easy change to make.
