What an amusing internal struggle @mariasasse 🙂 good luck!

On changing threads, I have changed projects to a pink floral and linen tea party dress. I have knickers to sew and the ensemble can move into the handstitching basket.

Tomorrow I will continue with the puppet show shorts so they can join the stitching basket too.

I’m sure it would be divine.
I would work out how many and approximately how deep I wanted the pleats to be, then calculate the skirt width from that to check against the original skirt and see if the “fullness” is similar.
More maths but quite fun I you’re into it. Or you can play with basting as Nicole said.
There will be a blog post soon about…[Read more]

I say yes!
Perhaps baste the pleats and have a play , see how well they sit?

Welcome aboard!

Oh how fun, what will you be sewing?

That’s a great tip, thank you!

I went to my local and there was no discount apparent, no sale signage — maybe it varies by location?

My sister had the same issue with the Lisette patterns (which clearly say “Butterick” on the envelopes!) ringing up as McCalls during the 3/$5 sale a couple weeks ago – except that the store manager wouldn’t honor the terms of the sale and let her have them at the sale price.

I have two pairs of puppet show shows cut and ready to sew. One is to pair with an angel top I am still working on and the other is a linen pair I didnt manage to get to before Christmas. I plan to make a tunic to go with it.
