OMG! @lightningmcstitch we don’t want to ruffle any feathers 😂 God knows we have plenty of those winged pests here as it is! I was thinking black but I am going to have a look at the link you very thoughtfully provided and see if I can find a hot pink one. Thankyou so much😘 I am rather excited about the prospect of this jacket and hopefully it…[Read more]

I reckon I could find you a hot pink zipper!
Worth an enquiry to these guys http://www.lzf.com.au/ as they have a huge range and will cut to required length etc. I’ve used them for single zips before.
(otherwise, my answer to your question would be black. White would be very 1980s and grey a bit reminiscent of a Galah :))

I am supposed to be sewing a couple of jumpers (pullovers/ sweatshirt – keep you warm outerwear) for dh whose birthday is tomorrow and some more sleepshorts. But I am not getting very far.

My little sewing nook is normally child free. Not anymore as the child has discovered how to get in🙁 And since it is school holidays and I have three children…[Read more]

Hi Connie @totter2, if you are doing view b then the interfacting is not required. If you are doing view a (the bodysuit) then the interfacing goes on the crotch area.

I hope this answers your question.

I’m working my magic with fabric,
Of a colour described as “dab brick”
It’s not easy to sew
So I’m taking it slow
Afterall, it is only cambric!

(Sorry @lightningmcstitch I felt compelled to challenge everyone unnecessarily😀)

I’ve just made a long journey home

(A bit easier for you I hope)

Geez Tamara (@justsewit) not an easy rhyme!! 🙂

The wintry sun is still shining
After rain that has had the gauge climbing
But the wind is so cold!
If I weren’t so old
Then I’d be outside wining and dining!

I’m working my magic with fabric,

I just took my kids out to my parents in the country for a couple of nights while it’s school holidays and we’re working.
The five year old was busy all morning writing notes and letters for her grandparents to give them when she got there. All notes started with “dear grand… and grand…” And finished with “love from A… by A…”
In the middle…[Read more]

Very cute Fee.

I am deep in the depths of sequins, tulle and satin… formal dress sewing. It is going surprisingly well and I am enjoying it.

I did take a break (dress requires fitting and daughter is on work experience at a wild life park) so I made a sneaky School Bus tee for Tildy from some gorgeous Merino knit. I added little elbow patches…[Read more]

Brilliant, I love a good up-cycle and that is a very good one.

Oh dear @dubhels2003, I know what you mean but still very cute!

My little Trix finished her sleepy 5am feed in our bed, smiled said ‘choc-late’ and went back to sleep.

The link is perfect @libloucks took me straight there. Might look different to you as you’re logged in and your post may appear differently.
I’ll put my five cents worth in before Rachel answers…
If you used one layer quilting cotton and one layer of bamboo or cotton wadding then I think it would sew up fine and not be too bulky.
Alternately,…[Read more]

Hi @creativerose Rosie, I would suspect it may stop at a size 2t but I really can’t be sure as I am sewing Oliver and s for a baby for the first time (my other two are much older).

Alot of ladies just size up, especially if they use the flannelette variety. You could always do this and that would entitle you to pants/ bottoms that would fit well…[Read more]

It’s not a narrow fit, and I think the style of the cut is pretty forgiving. Maybe add a bit to the blouse and a bit to the peplum? I made a 5 for my daughter who’s gotten to be a 6 in height but still a 5 in circumference, and the blouse looks just as nice now, I think.

I googled loungewear @sarvi and all I got were pyjamas?!

Oh @Sarvi you have brightened my day and my migraine is almost gone! I’m afraid I have no clue🙁 Would it be like leisure wear?

Yesterday I cut out two music class blouses amd started on one of them last night. They are both of brushed cotton but one is floral and the other plan.

This morning I plan to finish off the music box dress I made…[Read more]
