Bumped!

Yes,you do have to join them together.
That is pretty standard with PDF’s.
Something like this http://www.flickr.com/photos/motherof5/8508925824/in/photostream (Not an o+s,blush)
I swop internet time with my son if he puts them together for me.

I am with Heidi,I am not sure how it would dye…..I would stagger it with the other colours.
What a nice Nana you are!

Please make a trial run in another fabric.
When I wanted to make Tildy’s silk version I made a cotton version first to check the size.

I made the 12-18mnth width and lengthened at the hem.
She is nearly 4 (sob) and still wearing it.
If you daughter is petite and your…[Read more]

Spotlight Mt Barker has a huge range.
There is a good bus service from Adelaide.

Sharon,I spoke with my husband who has successfully repaired some small problems with my overlocker.
He suggests that you unthread the machine and,with the side open,turn the wheel by hand and see if the bottom looper is bent and catching or bumping into the needles.
If that is the problem,you may be able to gentle bend the looper back,just a wee bit.

Is there any particular reason that you wish to use french seams?
I am with Melanie on this one,I am sure it could be done but it would be bulky.
How about lining the skirt?

Cotton voile is lovely for a special outfit.
For everyday lining I use a cotton rich poplin.
Lots of pretty colours and it needs little pressing.

Happy to enable!
I blogged the construction so if you would like to ‘try before you buy’ http://www.flickr.com/photos/motherof5/sets/72157625559687392/
My 8 year old Lidia has only just stopped fitting in hers and whilst she is skinny she had quite a broad back and I generally cut the size 7 width in tops for her.
The skirt would be ever so easy…[Read more]

I buy my McCalls interfacing when I have a coupon,it is usually $12/m.
Well worth it.

Bumped -baby baby!

It is a bit hard to say……but it can always be added later if you do find it is shifting.
I am sorry not to be more help.

I don’t think you have to stitch the seam on the shoulders if you are willing to press it back to shape.
I made these for a dear OS O+S chum and I hand stitched the seam in place http://www.flickr.com/photos/motherof5/7087015835/in/photostream/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/motherof5/6941047922/in/photostream/

I would call cotton velvet ”velveteen”. Then there is stretch poly velvet,poly mix velour and cotton velour which are all pretty stretchy.
That said,I had some stretch cotton velvet that was a little stretchy……
I love making ‘do-dads’ to decorate clothes.

If it is stretch velveteen and got a good stretch you shouldn’t need the pleat as long as you do not go too long!
I think a pearly stretch cotton sateen would look lovely as a bib. Or use the same fabric and make some ruffle roses from the same fabric and sew them to one side of the yoke like a corsage. You could sew multiple pearls as a centre…[Read more]

If I was adding fullness to the front I would certainly add to the back as well.
Don’t forget to move those notches!

Does it really? I thought it went over the shoulders-how embarrassing!

I will make the biggies hunt it out this arvo and check the spacing for you.
(and thank you,I have nearly finished it)!
