This brings up a really good point. I wonder what the proper ergonomics are for standing and sitting sewing.

Wow.

Wow, I am seeing some fun stuff. Awesome job on the hat!!
I am pretty proud of this. It wasn’t difficult, but it was my first button placket for a shirt type style ever. My first collar ever. So, I learned a few new skills! And not that hard. Or at least when you have Ms. L next to you step by step.
As I was sewing the last button on, the…[Read more]

Wow ask and ye shall receive! Thanks!

OOOH OUTLANDER! Yes. I am not sewing because I haven’t picked up enough after my last few projects so I can’t find a place to sew. Messy girl needs to clean before she can make a new mess!
Also, I am looking for a contrasting fabric to go with my fabric finders brushed cotton pink and brown microhoundstooth. It is somewhat dull, but warm and…[Read more]

For the garden party, I sewed the shoulder straps to the skirt back instead of the yoke. It was a very what the heck moment. I even checked for errata! Haha.

Robin,
Remaining joyful in the present of the sewing is so (sew) important. I am in a race with no one. I like goals/resolutions because they give me ideas of where to go, but don’t feel bad about never achieving them. They are more like ideals and ideas than carved in stone moments. Although, right now I got some pretty darn good princess…[Read more]

I too would say check the button placket fold. Also if you have enough fabric, or if you have muslin, recut the facing in the correct size and one size up. See if either fits and cut that in your fabric????

Ooh an FBA included? Count the girls in!

New tab! 🙂

Well here in western part of the State of New York, UPK, which isn’t universal at all starts at age 4. By not universal, I mean, only some school districts do it, some do it for a half day, some for a full day. Some only have so many spots, unlike Kindergarten itself where all are welcome. Some can enroll every child.

Well, in September my daughter will be going to universal pre-kindergarten (UPK), and the following year, all day K.
Up until now, she’s been home. In the winter with her dresses, we use tights or leggings, and in the summer, b/c she’s at home, if while playing in a dress, she flashed undies, no one has cared.
Now that we will be attending…[Read more]

I took a pair out that I made. I laid them out, so I could see how the construction with the yoke works, since i couldn’t remember. I lengthened the pant piece instead of the yoke. We shall see. I might have to muslin it, since I don’t want to waste my Amy Butler fabric on a big mistake! 😉

Thank goodness for this forum. I am working on the birthday party and my exact question for hem facing was do you fold out the placket totally and match raw edges or do you leave the 1/2 ” folded. I admit I am confused when it says unfold the placket or such, because I never know does she mean COMPLETELY?? Or does she mean just that 1 1/4″…[Read more]
