Sounds exciting!
@lilypadmontana, if you use cloth nappies, make the bodysuit in the second size. It will fit for longer. And you want it to fit, it is so cute!

Linen will continue to soften more and more with each washing, and that’s one of the beauties of it. I wrote a little bit about it a while ago on the blog: http://oliverands.com/community/blog/2013/04/fabric-friday-natural-fibers-used-to-make-fabric.html

I think flannel would be really cute and cozy!

Add one more to your list, because there will be a new one for spring! And that’s all I’m saying…

What a fun idea! Unfortunately I have a backlog right now but if I can finish up quickly I’ll join!

Welcome Lynn, I will be looking forward to seeing a photo of your completed badminton nightgown.

I am up to setting in the sleeves on the puppet show dress.

Do you mean May and June? If so then I’m in – was going to start sewing the 6-12 month range the. Anyway so why not start with the skirts?

The only one I’ve made was flannel and i thought it worked very well. The Woollies flannels are lovely, I made a Music Class shirt in a herringbone flannel from them and it washed and wore perfectly. I say go for it. It will be more a heavy shirt weight than a jacket but the fabric will behave just fine.
You’ll be able to spot my flannel Sunday…[Read more]

And thank you for the nice comments, ladies!

Oh, I didn’t take it at all personally, no worries. Just thinking in a broader way about what we do and how it affects the world.

We buy her uniforms from the required seller, only plain white shirts, socks, and shoes are allowed to be purchased elsewhere. I buy her jeans and swimsuits, she has one pair of each … hm. That’s pretty much it. Any…[Read more]

I think I know someone, I will drop them a line.

That’s a thought-provoking perspective. If what you buy in stores is unethical and what you make at home is excessive then what do you do?

I see that too, but if I go to one of the subfora, I get the compose window there. Possibly it’s just set up to prevent you from accidentally creating a new topic in the wrong place?

@roundtheworldgirl I bumped up an old thread that might help.
But, yeah, I want a coverstitch machine.
Best wishes to everyone who’s having a crappy time.

Bumping up this thread…
What’s been mostly working well fir me over the last year of sewing lots of knit clothes is this:
1. Woolly Nylon in the bobbin
2. Having a second bobbin casing with tension backed way off so the bobbin thread really does zig zag fully
3. Using the walking foot to get over side seam bumps

None of that means I don’t want…[Read more]
