    I saw this advertised on Foxtel whilst I was in hospital. It looks fantastic, I wish we could get it. 🙁

    I wonder if she found the shoulder fit a wee bit snug…..

    I made this for my daughter and, as per usual, sized back and added length. It was a bit of a tug around the shoulders but fine once on.

    Perhaps try a knit or a cotton poplin with some stretch?

  • Really @Sarvi, that is so exciting, thank you!

    I *finally* posted it off to its new owner.

    I like to dabble with knitting although my finished project count is pretty low. I am a slow, methodical knitter and often things get put aside until I am in the mood to pick them up again. I currently have a cardigan in a nearly completed state but for the hood and one sleeve.
    I sat down yesterday and practised the magic loop method because I…[Read more]

    My son passed his driving test, so excited for him!

    Thanks @Justsewit, I am sure all will be fine.

  • 🙂 That would be a trial run, not a trail run, dear oh dear…

    If it was any other fabric, I would say, ‘Go for it’. I know your time is super precious, but so is Liberty. 😉

    Welcome back Fee, I hope you have fun sewing up all those little things.

    I must admit, I love a birth story, you would have think I had had enough but they always thrill me. If anyone else is inspired to write theirs, feel free. (Or post links)

    Thank you for your best wishes, just a straight forward Gall Bladder removal, I fit the criteria of…[Read more]

  • Thinking of the shape, I would extend from the bottom, following the A-line but I would definitely make a trial run before cutting the Liberty.
    You could use it as a nightie.

    I would add a fair bit of length, a few inches not just a few cm’s.

    No sewing, it was a washing and ironing day, but I did prep some cornflower blue cotton poplin for Music Class school blouses (short sleeves and pin tucks) for Lid’s and Tildy.

    I *was* going to cut navy Badminton skorts as bottoms but I am seriously considering Lunch Box culottes with all the lovely versions popping up in the Flickr pool…..

    Yay @vothgirl.
    @Dawn R, that will look so cute.

    Don’t you love it when a experiment works?
    I made Trixie a Hopscotch top and skirt today but I adapted the skirt to have the Tea Party bloomers built in.
    And it worked!

    It was not with out a few head scratching moments though. As I have said in the past, I take my hat off to pattern designers,…[Read more]

    Yes, do, maybe even the 2T?
    I make this for my girls as a school uniform and is a dress that can be worn a little big with a deeper hem.

  • @Rhythm, thank you!

  • Nicole replied to the topic Hand sewing needles in the forum off topic 9 years ago

    In the mail, but they are not fancy ones. #9 sharps. 🙂

  • I agree, I made a large per my measurements and wore it a lot, pregnant, 😉
