Oh, I’m glad you figured it out! Thanks for letting us know.

@sarvi that song makes me cry even on a good day. I saw that the LAUSD head was getting criticized for the closures – I’m glad he did it. Our kids live in a jacked up world. I get tired of trying to tell my kid why people are sleeping in the street, and why we just bought a bunch of gifts for a 3 year old who was homeless but now has a home and…[Read more]

Always a pleasure, y’all. I try to be here as much as possible, but sometimes I think you chat more when I’m not here! (Which is totally fine, by the way. I’m glad!)

@ginny3wI am so glad you got the right advice, I can’t wait to see what you do.

Thank you @liesl

Oh Sarvi, I am so sorry.

You did just the right thing, no need to scare such a young child. A ‘facility’ issue is the perfect reason.

Huge hugs.

So glad! I hope you’ll show us the skirt when you’re done!

I just cut out another one of these for myself, and I lengthened it by a bit for winter. To do this, you’ll simply splice the pattern at the lengthen-shorten line and add the desired amount of length at that spot. Be sure to lengthen all the relevant pieces by the same amount (don’t forget the facing!), and keep the grain line matched up as you…[Read more]

Thank you @justsewit and @lightningmcstitch, I thought it was the piano?

I love school hols. No packed lunches but the food! Three loaves of bread yesterday and one child wasn’t home!

You made slippers @roundtheworldgirl? Wow, did you blog them?

I have not lengthened this skirt @ginny3w but I lengthen one similar for my girls.

I cut and added length at the hip.

I would caution adding too much length as I think it would spoil the line of the skirt.
Perhaps think about your styling? Black opaque tights are great if you are concerned about flashing your knickers.
As for you age, it matters…[Read more]

@sanitystitches I haven’t but I did talk someone through it (can’t remember who though, sorry).
We decided it would be best to cut and add length at about 4 inches from the cuff to keep the nice shape of the sleeve.
It has a bit of a bias thing going on so it may need trying and tweaking before you hem it.

I hope that helps.

Thank you for the back up @enbee 🙂
@gretam it is my absolute pleasure.

I have two bags to make over the school hol’s. I will be in touch, Heidi, I am sure.

I have finished Matilda’s turn on the rota and I am on to Lidia. First up, a Sketchbook shirt with the Mandarin collar in Liberty.

I hope Murray is recovering @justsewit.

The school year has finished for us. We had our Presentation Night, Thursday night and it was a huge success.

Matilda was deliciously bouncy, dancing in her classes Beach Boy medley. Her neon Class Picnic set was just the job.

Lidia’s…[Read more]
