justsewit replied to the topic Using Tucks in O+S Patterns in the forum
Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 10 years agoI would say that you wouldn’t actually fold the fabric as per you would ordinarily to get the result because the tucks moght end up a bit off. Would trace the pattern on the fold but not cut it on the fold in order to get the full piece and then work from there to determine where to put my tucks.
This is just how I would do it.

Have fun with the coat Heidi. It’s such a lovely pattern. Many little steps leading to a summit of awesomeness!
What have I been up to? Well, I can’t make a Fairy Tale dress without imagining another, so I’ve just cut a second. This one will be simple, no collar, no sleeves, and a pleated skirt.
This week I sewed another Knight Hoodie. This time…[Read more] -

Well thanks to @georgeandizzy ‘s blog post and a Facebook promotional coupon, last night I found myself buying the Puppet Show pattern ;-). My girls fall in separate size ranges but since Olivia has all of Ellie’s old things to grow into, I only got the larger size. Once I finish my Easter sewing (Library Dresses for the girls and a Bistro dress…[Read more]

Great plan, @meleliza ! I know what you mean about upcycling adult clothes. You’d think there was ample yardage but the seams hit in funny places, and often unpicking the seams is so much trouble for so little usable fabric that it makes more sense to just trim them off. I do have a nice little pile of pretty buttons robbed from old Banana…[Read more]

I understand! Still it is no excuse to not enjoy the experience. You would make overseas friends and set up networks that would probably allow them to visit you in Australia. And we all know there really is no place like home.
You are actually giving your girls a wonderful experience – I lived overseas as a child for a year and still draw from…[Read more]

We had no power yesterday for much of the day so sewing couldn’t be done. I did make a start on tracing some 6-12 month sized items ready to forge ahead on them before they are actually required. It will work well with a busy winter schedule.

Woohoo! I ordered the new Lisette patterns from the Butterick website last week (when Meleliza said they had them on sale) and they turned up today! Very fast shipping! So excited!

Jay what happens if you have that much fun in the next three years that you won’t want to leave? So very glad things are falling into sync for you. Enjoy your machines when you get them. It seems the weather is perfect for sewing (and playing) so you’d be torn between what to do.

I finished the pants yesterday and have been working on the bodysuit – only sleeves, sides seams and the bottom part to go. Oh and poppers!
Next I aim to trace bigger sized patterns ready.
