I have just whipped up the tiniest music class skirt! Its so cute!

I just bought some for full price but more locally. I figured it would save because of exchange rates but I wish I could have gone personally to get it and then would have saved the postage too.

@dubhels2003, do you have a link?
I wonder if it is the place mine comes from. I buy ‘seconds’ for the children’s sewing and the flaws are negligible.

Thank you!

My pleasure @Cheri, I look forward to your beautiful creation.

Usually we post our next skirt in our All The Skirts series on Friday, but due to some sickness the next skirt will go up Monday. This will actually work out awesome because the Fat Quarter Shop special discount will start then! For anyone who’s been procrastinating on starting their project… But we did sneak in one of the free Oliver + S…[Read more]

Do I make first the polo or pants?
Do I make it using apples or ants?
Perhaps I should choose
Which substrate to use

I love the Seashore Sundress pattern – can’t wait to see yours, Harmony!

I have been tossing through the stash for various reasons, and all of a sudden I am consumed with the desire to sew it all up! I’ve been doing a lot of knits lately. Yesterday I sewed myself a pair of knit pajama pants (all I want to wear these days) using an…[Read more]

Good luck Harmony! It will work a treat!

The Sailboat fits a little snugger than some of the other patterns, in my experience. I generally size down considerably for my girls (my skinny 5-year-old gets a 2 or a 3 with added length, my 4-year-old gets a 3 + length), but not in the Sailboat. I have not made the Sailboat for my son, but he wears a 3T in ready-to-wear, but takes a 2 or a 3…[Read more]

I have had this same frustration myself. The conclusion I have come to is that I really prefer working with cotton/lycra knits when sewing for my kids as they seem to recover better (and drape less) than the the knits that contain rayon or poly (even where there is lycra). The Kaufman laguna knits fit into this category, although they are a bit…[Read more]

Cheri, I would do as the other girls have suggested
I blogged the dress here http://fiveandcounting-motherof5.blogspot.com.au/2014/03/garden-party-dress-part-two.html if you wish to see the step the lovely ladies are referring too.

(Bravo Becky)

New patterns released, which is great!
The cooking and cleaning can wait
I must go through my fabric
It’s going to be magic
But, bother! The Postman is late!
