Oh @thejennigirl😂 That sounds all too familiar. I have a confession to make! I ran off with my daughter’s sewing scissors because they were sharper than mine – and she hasn’t noticed yet😉😱

There is one little problem though with “Pheobe” – she has measurements that would accomodate a size that Chloë would wear but she is long. She is actually the size for a 3 year old so I am thinking of sneaking a little one into the mix just so I can play dress up with a life sized doll that doesn’t wriggle and get dirty before the photos are…[Read more]

@housecall, if I may be so bold, here is a tute http://fiveandcounting-motherof5.blogspot.com.au/2014/03/the-garden-party-tutorial-part-one.html

Unless your ribbon is very firm I would be inclined to sew it on top rather then replace the yoke and waistband.

*Love* this pattern, have fun.

That sounds very painful Heidi! Just rest up and make sure you are on the mend. Take care of the injury and hopefully you can trace patterns later in the week. Do you have anything to rub on the site to ease the pain?

We are finding that broken bones are painful when they heel (So I don’t know how you would manage with your injury). Murray has…[Read more]

Well, the sewing drought is now over (for now). I have just been spending some time this morning, sewing the little blue hopscotch skirt in size 12-18 months for Chloë. I started this before Murray’s accident so it has been waiting on the sewing table for much longer than the usual length of time.

I am hoping to sew the white hide and seek tunic…[Read more]

How did you go Rosemary? Are you on your way again?

My pleasure, @ellenmcm was the hero here!
Happy sewing.

Yay @angelwingneedlearts, I am so pleased.
Three inches would be no problem at all, I added that to a swish little black hanky linen version.

I have added length to the Portfolio with is sort of the ‘prequel’ to this lovely pattern.

I added it to the bottom, continuing the slight ‘A’ line effect.

Don’t forget to add to all the panels. 🙂

I hope that helps.

This post is about the pleats but possibly the photos may help?

I have had the best idea, an O+S Moto jacket!
How cool would that be?

It would totally work for a baby (from an old leather jacket) to a pre-teen.
Totally unisex.

Please Liesl, puh-lease!

Heidi, just take a little look at jalie.com. They have a pdf pattern for pants and shorts that is very similar in style to the sketchbook/ cargos. Very extensive sizing so you might be able to fill the gap for this growing nephew of yours. Noah did the huge growth spurt thing just like that this past year or so. He is now in a small man’s size!
