My stash is getting out of hand.
I might have to purchase more land!
A mile of fence
’round the circumference

Don’t forget wool!
You can buy jumpers (sweaters) from Op Shops and cut them up and sew leggings from them.

I would believe it Becky, I sew with fabric older then me!
Off to check out your links. 🙂

@FrancesSuzanne, I am no expert but I overlay patterns when I want to size down.

So I would lay the Bubble dress bodice over the Playtime then flip over and perhaps fold some out?
Just a running thought….

I can second the vote for Kwiksew patterns, seriously ugly pattern covers but a good solid pattern.

I had thought of adding a cuff to the Sketchbook to make knicker bockers http://www.pinterest.com/pin/73676143878629714/

The Sailboat short are perfect to add a simple suspender strap too, in fact that pattern has an old world feel to it.

How tall are they? Could they carry off a Music Class blouse with Puppet Show shorts? Perhaps lengthen/tuck…[Read more]

My scissors are missing again!
The number I’ve lost equals ten!
If I ever find them
I’ll hogtie and bind them

Side tracked…

If the next season’s patterns are late
And you feel it is too long to wait
Blame Todd who wastes time
Making up rhymes
Instead of working from nine until eight

🙂
But I’m stuck with the current one…

Thankyou sweet Heidi!

I didn’t get to sew last night but did find some good maternity wear I had forgotten about so everyone is now sorted.

I cannot wait for tomorrow. When I can get back to the sewing machine and make happy things. I have the school days coat to complete plus a multitude of other things. The feet are a signal that I have to…[Read more]

@Inder I figure if I use a stretchy knit it should be useable and give me some leeway.
She is divinely chubby.
Thank you!

Brilliant, thanks Ladies.
I have some very stretchy soft cotton lycra I will make the prototype with.

The links were super helpful.

Oooh, that sounds so pretty. I sewed with faux shearling once, it wasn’t so bad. I shaved the seam allowance with a daisy shaver first.

@dubhels2003 You are a legend, every 1.5 hours, you are a Rock Star lady!
Beatrix has started screaming if I don’t feed her quick enough when she is ready to feed. I have to settle her, let her sleep for 20…[Read more]

Finished Imogen’s dress but I don’t know why the muslin bodice fit well yet the real one was slightly too big. Nevermind she may only wear it once.

I managed to find some grey trousers for Noah but as we mostly have problems with rtw I have to rearrange a button so the poor boy doesn’t feel strangled when he sits down. I also found a white shirt…[Read more]
