@lisamm We have booked tickets, I am glad to hear this!
Thank you.

The season for sewing has changed
My skirts and I are estranged
But my jackets and coats
Are garnering votes
Time for clothing, to be, exchanged.

I just want to sit down and sew!

I finished my turn on the #sewingrota on a high with some gorgeous back jeans for me!
Three pairs of jeans, a denim shirt and four tee’s were a much needed injection of clothing in my wardrobe.

Now I am on to formal sewing, Zara’s first. Some gorgeous Gatsby inspired sequinned tulle.

Watch your sleeve cap, it may need a little pinched from it, it is easy to do after sewing.
I ave found (with a longer tee/tee dress) you can get some odd things happen at the shoulder due to the extra weight of the extra fabric.

Hello @cammipatterson, I am so glad you have joined!

Liesl’s patterns are just so good, you will learn a lot and be so pleased with your results.

Try this @kirstylilian

Why don’t you colour block and cut the 2 for the top and then make it wider, gradually, with a bit of trimming as you go?

I can’t decide which is my size
Do I go by my waist or my thighs?

@eboyd83 I have tried a few but my latest ones are from Cash’s name labels.

They have been the best, and if you contact them directly they will do a large bulk order.

Yes, I think @justsewit might be right. It’s difficult to tell from the photos, but you might want to try a swayback adjustment. Or maybe you just need to take in the hips more? It sort of looks like if you pin the hips, especially at the back, to be a little tighter you’ll eliminate the drag lines. It definitely doesn’t need to be looser–overall…[Read more]

What did I do with my thread?
It’s normally kept by the bed
‘Cuz I stitch in my sleep
Embroidering sheep
Non-mulesed and organically fed.

(do not google mule-sing)

There is rumoured to be a new book.
