Tamara replied to the topic Lisette B6358 Swimsuit Sew Along in the forum Sew Alongs 8 years ago

Of course they are useful @liesl😀 With six months until our summer, I have plenty of time to collect the items required. But not only that, this sewalong will still be up so I can sewalong then too! It looks like I will be learning new skills with this as in all the years I have been sewing, I have never actually made a swimsuit for myself and…[Read more]

That’s a good idea — I read much more than I comment, or I get busy but bookmark things for future use — but it must seem like radio silence from the other end!

Saved the day thanks @todd
Tamara replied to the topic Question about sending private messages in the forum about the forums 8 years ago

Not to worry! it’s all good.@sarvi.
Sarvi replied to the topic Question about sending private messages in the forum about the forums 8 years ago

Hm, good question! I assumed as the thread starter you’d have an edit button somewhere, but perhaps I have made an ASS of U and ME as the old saying goes.
Sarvi replied to the topic Lisette B6358 Swimsuit Sew Along in the forum Sew Alongs 8 years ago

May Grey (and its buddy, June Gloom) are weird patches of overcast skies that come along between Spring and Summer here in Los Angeles. You’ve been having a nice time hiking in April, then you lose the blue skies (but oddly enough, not the penetrating heat of the sun — so if you look outside you’ll want to grab a sweater, but then you open your…[Read more]

Yay! The suits look great. I love the boning and all the “grown up” lady aspects of this pattern. I’ll miss the sewalong deadline but I’m right behind you, just six months behind… 🙂
Tamara replied to the topic Question about sending private messages in the forum about the forums 8 years ago

@sarvi am I able to do that?

Thankyou🙂
Sarvi replied to the topic Lisette B6358 Swimsuit Sew Along in the forum Sew Alongs 8 years ago

Those are really nice, I like the cut a lot particularly on the bottoms. That’s something I can wear. I am still looking for the right fabric — and sewing time — but would love to get a pair done by the time May Grey is over in Los Angeles.
Sarvi replied to the topic Question about sending private messages in the forum about the forums 8 years ago

Tamara, could I suggest editing the title of this thread to read “question about sending private messages” or similar as it appears Leslie might have mistaken this for a private conversation between the two of you.
Sarvi replied to the topic Sizing question in the forum oliver + s: popover 8 years ago

Looks like the Popover Dress size chart lists garment measurements rather than body measurements. Looking at the body measurement chart for another pattern, 22.5″ puts you in a size 4 — so it sounds like your cute dress with the size 6 chest can accommodate any surprise growth spurts this summer and perhaps take you through winter as well, with a…[Read more]
Sarvi replied to the topic Merino source in the forum off topic 8 years ago

I have bought from the Fabric Store and the quality is fabulous. I wonder whether Rockywoods would have anything suitable?
Tamara replied to the topic Merino source in the forum off topic 8 years ago

I love merino on the sheep and on me but I feel really sad that this place uses only nz merino wool☹️ .It would be awesome to be totally out of the box and build somesort of refinery to make the fabric myself, but we’d need all the wool in NZ for that (they seem to have more sheep for their population) and a jackpot lotto win (and even then it wou…[Read more]
Lightning McStitch replied to the topic Merino source in the forum off topic 8 years ago

@justsewit I have always gone in person yo the Melbourne store. There are stores in Wellington (NZ), Sydney & Melbourne (Aus) and Los Angeles (U.S.A.)
I guess they’d ship from whichever had stock and was closest to you.
Now that it has turned cold I want a wardrobe full of merino fleece long sleeved tees!
Tamara replied to the topic Merino source in the forum off topic 8 years ago

@lightningmcstitch did you go in person to this place or buy online because I noticed they look as though they ship from NZ.
Tamara replied to the topic What are you sewing now? in the forum off topic 8 years ago

Love the accent fabric @needlewoman.

I spent the afternoon handstitching and both jeans jackets are almost complete😀. I now have to go and hammer seams flat, topstitch, do buttonholes and the more handstitching – the buttons. Fingers crossed I get to do this all tonight.

The season for sewing has changed
My skirts and I are estranged
But my jackets and coats
Are garnering votes
Tamara replied to the topic Sizing question in the forum oliver + s: popover 8 years ago

Yes sew the ties before you make the bow and then wear a t shirt under it if it one of those not recommended to be worn to school kind of dresses. That way you cover all bases.
Tamara replied to the topic What are you sewing now? in the forum off topic 8 years ago

Basically there was no marketing per se. I was looking for a heavier weight denim to make my jeans because the stuff was just a bit light and I found two bolts of denim/elastine/wool in the pile of denims. We get a lot of the printed and pintucked stuff and not alot of the stuff that you’d want to make jeans out of. So because I had never seen…[Read more]
