Very well explained, Todd!

Actually, there’s one piece of the puzzle that Todd hasn’t included in his description of the process and which would certainly account for a discrepancy between the yardage chart and the minimum amount of fabric you actually need. That piece is this: I try to use one cutting layout for as many sizes as possible. I…[Read more]

I tend to sew the tab with a smaller then usual seam allowance, trim well and trim off the corners. If you can’t find tweezers scissor ends wrapped in a bit of tape will work too.

I will put my Nana hat on and advise a fine gauge wool singlet, preferably merino.

Lucky ducks, I hope it is a good price.
I *may* have already placed an order for them (and for a sewing chum)

Snap, I am sorting too, but just adding to/taking from tubs. I swopped my clear Ikea tubs over to smoked ones in the hope it will prevent fading.

Sarvi, the culottes would be perfect, what about a Jumprope polo top?

The only super safe way to scrimp is to lay out your pattern. The pieces are quite wide so you may well need your yardage.

I think you are looking for the McScrooge thread 🙂
I will have a look for you.

We have a skirt pattern coming out for Liesl and Co this spring that takes just a yard of fabric. It would be really cute in velvet, actually, if you can stand to wait until it’s finally released! It will be probably two months yet…

I have an old treadle in my sitting room, I keep a block of wood under the foot pedal to stop the babies pinching their fingers. 🙂

Must Not Buy More Liberty……

Awesome!

Paper Puppet Show love.

Wow, that is a lot of work but looks amazing! I am sure that would work.

I am not a fan of binding seams (I love the look just find it a bit tedious) I would wonder about flannel for the main and something silky for the sleeves?

But I am sure the underlining would work really well.

I would love a larger size hat pattern. My offspring have gi-normous heads.
