I didn’t Janice, but my girls have very curvy derrières.
I would make the size that corresponds to her hips and then taper the leg (inner and outseam)

Awww, thank you Sandi and Sharon.
I ~finished~ Zara’s (15) skort, hurrah!
So excited about this as I stupidly drafted the pattern to her tiny waist (size 6) instead of her hips (size 10)!

With some careful unpicking and removing some darts I j u s t got enough ease to make it work.

If I had had enough of the lovely grey linen I think I would…[Read more]

That is worth thinking about! Of course I don’t have any navy rugby knit in stock but might try it out with something else.

I would wonder about a rugby knit for the main and a woven for the facing Katy….

I am so glad you got to sew Masha. We are all thinking of you here.

I finished Zara’s shirt and it looks lovely on her. I fiddled around with the fit, taking it in at the high waist, letting it out over her bottom and taking some fullness from the sleeve.

Next up, a grey linen skort, Simplicity 1370.

Lovely, thank you Nicole.
I have made them for PE and don’t want them to be too restrictive.
I will try it!

I find if I carefully stretch the main to match the binding, just a bee’s whisker mind, there are less puckers.

I will pin her down Britters, I don’t think I have ever so anyone something and received such an ecstatic result.
It is so nice.

Heidi, it’s a pity you are not closer, my mending pile is huge! 😉

I would slash and spread along the middle of the buttock and mark the point on the facing adding the same amount to that.

Is there a direction written to place one side on a fold?

Good on you Heidi. I donated a tub of cut out WIP’s last year. Very cathartic. I am like an ex-smoker now. I cut-I sew. I am terrified of going back to that!

Tonight I finished Zara’s Lisette Moto jacket (B6169). We went with the size 6 with an inch off the waist. Zara chose the leftovers from Hugo’s jacket, charcoal wool and we splurged on some…[Read more]

On phone please excuse grammar
As long as this does not leave the sleeve cap and under arm too tight
How about two back French darts at the back , below the shoulders and darting the centre back of the sleeve ?
