I am up to handstitching the lining down on two of the three bubble dresses. I have cut another pair of lullaby layette pyjamas and plan to work on them tomorrow before returning to the third bubble.

I read this post just today and I think it might help. It is mostly referring to increasing room in the front crotch but as they say at the end, if you do the same split and spread to the back that works for the back.
I imagine if you create a bit more room at the back there’ll be less strain and pulling down with squatting and bending.

I vote for the eyelet as well!

The relevant set isn’t “most countries” though, it’s “most customers” — thus, since it sounds like there was a proven customer base in AUS, it made sense to go to the extra trouble. Though at this point I’m probably backseat-driving somebody else’s business decisions, which I imagine could be annoying — sorry, I’ll zip it!

Either way, I know a…[Read more]

@todd that’s fabulous news about the paper size change/addition. now I just have to work out how to split PDF files so that I can put all my large pattern sheets into one file. The local printer has a $15 per job minimum so printing one file would still be too expensive.

far be it for me to pick an argument 🙂 but I’m afraid the list of countries…[Read more]

Nicole’s ironing tips are golden, I love the one for the Birthday Party dress.

Three weeks into sewing Hugo’s peacoat and the end is in sight
I have a long sewing room so I put Trixie up one end and by the time she wriggles her way to me I have a bit done and move her back again

That said, I think it is time for the barricades to go up, she will be crawling soon I guess
