But becareful of what you use to mark the pleats. Make sure it is washable. I wouldn’t know anything about that! 🙂

Haha. I love momster though!

I fear my children have been cursed with bad feet. Mine grew in pregnancy from ladies 4-5. It’s like a 32 until I had them. The kids will have similar struggles finding age appropriate shoes as they get older. Mr Sunshine has really wide small feet. WeeGee has feet with heels so narrow that we either have…[Read more]

Goodness me. I hope I remember in our spring. Our long time local children’s show shop closed. I had the darnedest time finding my girl even sneakers because no one “fits” kids anymore. She’s literally got one pair of shoes (not counting ballet, tap, and cleats). And I’m willing to spend a fair amount on decent shoes. My kids feet grow slow.…[Read more]

OOOH I miss new babies and so glad I don’t have one.

Although in some respects they are easier than the older kids.

Enjoy your baby!!!

Wow. Everyone is so busy. I’m at a stand stil of sorts having broken my machine. I took it in yesterday and they said 2 weeks. I cut 4 hopscotch dresses last night from knits I got at Mood when I was there in August. So I will be ready.

But it’s ok because I have a trial on Friday. I’m not going to lie. I am anxious and nervous. But no lawyer…[Read more]

Yes… Butterfly. So quick and easy, so elegant. Do it in a fancy pants silk!

Aren’t we in the second week of September already? 😉

Oh it got a thousand times worse. But not mistakes. Not enough fabric to cut the new sleeve. Literally missing an inch x three. The website only sells in yard increments. So I hacked up a sleeve with a seam in it. Matched up the pattern on the fabric pretty well. No thrilled but what can you do.

Sewed that up pretty quickly. Then I went to…[Read more]

We should retitle this thread, Stupid things Jennifer does… LOL.

So, I cut a carousel and it is sewing along beautifully. Love the seams, love the opportunities (in my head) for color blocking, french seams, edge stitching (to blend or to color pop), basically goes together like a dream.

I am at the attach the sleeve portion. I pin and…[Read more]

I have to finish the jumprope. All I have are buttons and holes. I get nervous at this point. I always run 2-3 buttonholes on scrap before I do the garment. I had a machine that always chewed up the holes and ruined clothes at the last stage. So even though I have a new machine and it has shown no problems, Pavlov’s dog is always nervous when…[Read more]

Is art gallery an interlock, pique, or jersey type?

@justsewit What line did you find matching knit and woven?

We always get so itchy, don’t we? I’ve been sitting on my hands waiting for someone else to ask! 🙂

@justsewit, why not either/or/both? As you can see, I am a real curmudgeon for rules about sew alongs. 🙂

And if we do an either or, I may have to get that sparkly Miller fabric. What a pretty every day skirt it would be…. hmmmm….

Oh I was eyeing a Michael Miller black fabric with silver dots. So absolutely. It is totally sparkly grey!

And yes, definitely tag it. It would be a great round up, I hope.

I figure some grey scale will be ok too. Because most prints on black often have grey scale, but that fits with the monochromatic theme.

I actually ordered my fabric already. (Raise your hand if you’ve got multiple projects lined up….) I have a jumprope to finish, a garden party and 3 hopscotch dresses on deck. I will likely have enough…[Read more]
