Argh, I have a Puppet Show cut out for the puppet show we’re going to tomorrow and the storm knocked out my sewing machine. I hope it’s resettable and not really fried.

Sounds like a plan, have fun sewing.

I haven’t made the size 7 so I can’t speak to the specifics of that size, but I do remember after the first one I didn’t bother with the gathering stitches, the sleeve fit perfectly and I didn’t have to ease anything. I can see how the accumulation of pretty tiny deviations could add up quickly and lead to a sleeve too small for the armscye.

Masha! That’s such wonderful news! On home soil (and no need to fly home for a birth because you are already there) surrounded by family. What a blessing! I hope everything is progressing beautifully. How are you feeling?

Oh, wow!
Congratulations Masha, so excited for you!
The more you have the easier it gets, in my opinion. You focus on important issues, nurturing and nutrition, and less on perfect floors.

Thank you Ladies, Hugo is very grateful for your congratulations.

The big news over here (accompanied by a coming-out photo on Flickr) is that I am expecting our fourth. About 17 weeks now and feeling much better now that I’m out of the icky first trimester. I’ve heard the transition from 3 to 4 is much easier than 2 to 3 … counting on those of you with large lovely families to…[Read more]

So now I’ve been sewing the Bistro, and have a little concern. My daughter has gone to bed, so this may be unnecessary worry once she tries it on, but there seems to be a little point at the bust end of the bust darts…right an awkward spot! I know it’s not the fault of the pattern, it’s my mistake, but can anyone help me with this?
