Really cute, @constainia!

That sounds like great advice, Tarama (@justsewit)! And I’m flattered that you turned to one of our pattern to learn the technique, @carries12345. Keep us posted on how it turns out!

Practice the dart with some scraps before you sew it! You might want a little stabilizer, too, depending on your fabric.

I think it depends on your fabric, too. But yes, if you have a 4″ difference between your high and regular bust measurements, I’d think you’ll probably want to do a FBA.

I’m working on a peplum top from this pattern right now. I’m using a very drapey woven fabric, so I’ve gone up 4 sizes to get an oversized look. But I think if I had a fuller…[Read more]

Wow, @sewgirl23, that DOES look like it was a challenge. And it turned out beautifully!

Hey, that looks great! I’m impressed.

Excellent, I look forward to seeing yours (and sewing this one up too).

So very excited. We sign on a city flat for our Biggies today.
We had always planned to send out chaps away for years 11+12 but our local school is just so excellent, there was no need. The money we have saved for fees has made a good deposit on the flat.

It is very central and close to good public transport (and University)and a gym plus the…[Read more]

@sarvi , thank you!

I now have an outer shell finished and bits of lining sewn to vents and I just have to do fabric origami and put it all together.

I have not made this polo but I have made a lot of polos. 😉
I usually transfer the markings from the pattern front.

PS Don’t forget to stay stitch the neck line, it can ver very useful for safe clipping when easing the collar in place.

Good luck!

I do, I use fold your own bulky towelling squares. 🙂
I simply size up, usually two sizes then when they are out of nappies, you have shorts waiting.

@Buratti made some good points. My youngest is not as easily amused as my older children were, so my sewing is back to only a couple of hours a day (but my house is sparkly and washing up to date as she likes to help with those)

I have a new ‘most difficult project’ a jacket I am making my son. I have already put in 9 hours and only 1/4 of the…[Read more]

You are correct @sanitystitches , it presses forward and is decorative.
