If it is a stretch fabric and she doesn’t mind a bit of tugging I think it would be do-able.

I would sew it, with out the facings, safely pin the shoulders closed and try it on. If it works, snip off the excess strap, if it doesn’t, finish it with the buttons and button holes.

I have a tute here if you would like a peep at the construction.

I would love to join a sewing group. I used to be in a furniture restoration group, we had a blast, scrubbing away with our steel wool.
Every now and then you would drop your steel wool in your wine instead of the metho.

@Rhythm, I probably just murdered your favourite dish. 🙂

I am slightly nervous to share our tea tonight as it is very much ‘nursery nourishment’ but my children love it, so I shall.

Curry in a hurry

Brown two large chopped onions in some oil, stirring occasionally.
Put water on to boil a dozen eggs. Hard boil, chill, peel and chop up, set aside.

I completely agree Sarvi.

I made a Ice Cream dress for Tildy, for Christmas, and I added length. I *almost* added too much and spoilt the line.
I definitely made the pockets too low.

I can sew, but pattern drafting is way way out of my league. I will leave that to Liesl.

A blazer, what a good idea 😉

I do a little embroidery, I am not very good but I muddle along. I used to smock but I went off that.

I love silk embroidery thread and I like to press my threads before stitching with them.

I want to learn to knit so badly, that is on my sewing bucket list.

I think a wee boys outfit, hand made, top to toe would be perfectly adorable.

Thanks…[Read more]

Jay, I hope you adjust soon. What an adventure.

Jenny, enjoy your sewing space. I hope young Missy (Gigi? love that name) likes her new room.

So true Sarvi. I have very easy pregnancies but PE at the end. Many woman and babies died from that. I am so grateful to be born in this era.

I am so grateful for my brood, my SIL has been on IVF for 17 years, she would give anything for a child.

@dubhels200, oh yes.

Yes please @Rhythm.

Wow, Jenny. I was in tears reading that.

I made Beatrix a sweet little baby bonnet from a free pattern from Purl Soho. One hour sewing and it is divine.
