    To be honest, I don’t really know. I just wanted to experiment. I think it would have everything to do with where the seam was and what fabric you were using that would lend itself to advantages or disadvantages. I would think this way would be ideal to use with fabrics that are light but fray alot. This way cutting is kept to a minimum as you…[Read more]

    I was just going to mention this, @aussie! Looks like it’s a versatile bow tie pattern–you can even make it for your dog…or probably cat.

  • Several pairs in rotation over two daughters and no complaints here.

  • They fall at the hip. I think it just looks low because of the style. Its a great pattern. I have made this one for both my older daughter and my son and hope to make a pair soon for the baby.

    You sew the seam at the seam allowance of 1/2 inch. Then when you go to press yhe seam, you open up the seam allowances and then fold the raw edges into the middle, close up the seam by pressing the new folded seam allowances ontop of each other and then stitching along the edge to close the seam up. In the end it looks like a french seam but done…[Read more]

    I think cotton jersey is great for polos and T-shirts, and I’m sure it will be fine here. This pattern doesn’t need a ton of stretch, especially with the woven details. So glad you’re joining us!

  • Thank you Lovely!
    I just used a slightly longer straight stitch

    I have sewn on the ties for the 2+2 but only along the neckline. i have decided I am not very good at topstitching because the underneath always looks really…[Read more]

    Are they girl super heroes or boys? My eldest daughter loves superheroes too – Batman and the like.

    Today I hope to complete the 2+2 top and at least make a start on the music class shirt. We shall see.
