Liesl Gibson replied to the topic Lisette B6244 Coat Sew Along in the forum Sew Alongs 9 years ago
Hi everyone! I’m out of town at a conference, so apologies for the slow replies. @dubhels2003, I think you mean easestitching? It’s a basting stitch that you can remove after you finish the seam. Easestitching allows you to shorten an edge slightly without causing puckers or gathers. How is everyone doing so far? I’m wishing I had packed my coat…[Read more]

Great idea, I’ll go back and tag mine.
@dubhels2003 that sounds incredible, you must get to it at some point! I have a similar project in the works, blouse and slacks, though a little bit different silhouette. Pleated slacks and a long-sleeved wool jersey tee, but also with a velvet or silk ribbon at the neck.

Oh @dubhels2003 that made me snort laugh!
But I’ve actually wondered about that; what does one do when the iron on interfacing is scrunched?
@cybele727 I have to admit I was surprised to see this thread refreshed with someone else’s name on it! 🙂 but then, there you were after all. I was cutting a swing set top last night from tiny scraps and was…[Read more] -

@dubhels2003 I thought of you yesterday as I saw a local art space that was being transformed to look like the scene from Alice in Wonderland where Alice meets the knitting sheep and they go boating together (one of my favourite bits for the rowing puns).
The artist is painting a beautiful life size mural on the walls of the art space. It would…[Read more] -

@dubhels2003 I agree with @nzsewist that the roller skate is good for showing off prints. I’ve also done it so the back is a single piece. A sleeveless fairy tail (sans collar) would probably work as well.

@dubhels2003 I think the roller skate is a great pattern to show off a print fabric since there are so few seams. Or the playtime dress is great for that as well. I have found both patterns to be hard wearing options for my busy and active three year old. As much as she loves dressing up in a pretty dress, any dress also needs to be able to stand…[Read more]

@dubhels2003 Yes, I was quite happy to accidentally be one step ahead!
I had decided that I would try and stick to using fabrics already in my stash, but… I discovered a beautiful monochrome print at The Fabric Store today…
I didn’t let myself take it to the counter straight away and instead went in search of what I actually went to the…[Read more]

@dubhels2003 a dress but not a dressup? I am immediately thinking that if your little one is turning three and is obsessed by Alice, why not make her an Alice costume? Or does she have one already? Vothgirl did the same for her miss E who turned three recently – her’s was sleeping beauty I think.
Do you have enough of the Alice liberty to use…[Read more]

@KAREN thankyou. His insurance is covering it and apparently he gets to go shopping in Paris! Thank goodness for insurance!
@dubhels2003 urgh! You poor thing and poor baby! Lots of calamine and pinetarsel, cuddles and rest. What a yucky unfortunate case to deal with!

Hope it was that simple Nicole! My kids were under opthamologist care until last year. The girls at the optometrist I go to are hoping Chloe won’t need a referral too! So far so good but you never know. She would have to have drops when she visits doesn’t she? I had to hold Noah down for them along with two other adults he hated them that…[Read more]

@dubhels2003 Helena, my three older kids all had the chicken pox about 16 months ago; my son was only a year old at the time. He had a very mild case – and in general I have heard that the younger ones do better. He was just a little cranky, ran a fever for a day or two, and didn’t seem to be bothered by the actual pox very much. My…[Read more]
