Hi Liesl,

Yes, that is incredibly helpful. Thanks for clarifying re: the pocket stitching and for the tips about getting the fit right and what to look for – plus skipping muslin!

Thank you so much, very helpful!

Hi, I am not very far along on the Everyday Skirt and have a question – I am sewing the pocket lining to the front panel and it says to pivot but at the point the circle indicates pivoting, it looks like the sewing stops.

Should the sewing along the pocket lining go to the edge of the fabric or end slightly after the circle?

I was not going to…[Read more]

I had a Rowenta from 7 years ago that worked superbly. And I have for 15 years had a Rowenta fixation believing they were wonderful irons. But I did a silly thing and basically ruined the last iron which I never had any issues with. When I went to buy a new iron, of course, I thought I would get a Rowenta. I read about the leaking and other issues…[Read more]

I am relatively new to this forum but @sarvi comment on her husband did make me wonder! 🙂 This made me smile as well as the idea of a sewing group, Trace This!

@liesl, thanks for the information about the twill tape. I got some and will try it. I finally was able to upload a picture of the pattern for the larger size and wanted clarification on how this should be cut. It seems like piece 2 is on the fold and 1 and 3 are not — is that right?

Thank you!

I have not had a chance to upload the pattern of the larger size for advice on the cut out. Hopefully, I will do that in the next day or so.

Would you think I need the 1/4…[Read more]

Thank you so much, Liesl. This is fantastic. I originally got the pattern for the dress but I happened to have one of the amazing wools you suggested (the Carolina Herrera salmon-beige-orangeish color – it is very unusual color). So I really want to try the coat (it is cold in NYC!) and am happy you are doing a sew-along. But I am a few steps…[Read more]
