I’m waiting with interest for this response too! I think there were some twirly dress pictures featured a month or so ago so I’m thinking they will arrive soon(ish)?!

@thejennigirl What nightie pattern did you use? I’m going to make the big girl a summer nightie. Her winter one is a simplicity one I think. I was thinking of using the badminton dress without the scallops.

I have a playtime dress which just needs button holes and then the top fastening onto the bottom. I should just crack on with it…[Read more]

These are A.MAZING Tamara! Thank you for sharing them.

I realise I have been stalking and reading threads without comments for far too long!

@cybele727 I’m dreading being asked to sew for school productions. I selfishly feel like I only want to sew what I want to sew, which isn’t generous or community spirited. Maybe I’ll feel differently if the time comes! Congrats to your son though, guess he’s…[Read more]

@ldk237 I especially love the heart one, it’s lovely. What was the fabric you used? Have you added the pictures to the oliver + s flickr pool? It’s a great place to be inspired by what others have done with the patterns, and to inspire others with your gorgeous outfits.

@thejennigirl I’m really sorry to hear your news, I hope the trip goes as well as it can.

@justsewit Really pleased that the settling in is going well, that must be a great weight of your mind.

I have taken the epic step of leaving my job without another one to go to. This is the ‘first day of the rest of my life’ as my good friend says. Bit…[Read more]

I can’t answer your question I’m afraid, but I have just seen the top on your Flickr feed and it’s gorgeous. I love the ikat print.

I can’t vouch for the quality of the denim, but the fabric shops on Berwick Street are at the high end (price wise certainly!) and they do stock some heavier weight and Japanese denims online:- https://www.clothhouse.com/shop/denim/

@justsewit I can’t believe how much you get sewed! @thejennigirl I hope you managed to crack into some WIPs. The only way I seem to get mine finished is if I also ‘treat’ myself with something new!

I’ve got a second swingset skirt ready to sew, and have cut out a playtime dress in a seersucker that I really love. I still haven’t started sewing…[Read more]

I have just cut two swingset skirts. The pattern wasn’t near the top of the pile for me to make, but I have been asked for a twirly skirt, and it pretty much fits the bill! I’ve cut one in a black fleck fabric which I might do some folk style embroidery around the bottom of, and one liberty lawn one. Tomorrow night needs to be about the sewing…[Read more]

They sound lovely! I lengthened the leg and put in contrast turn ups https://flic.kr/p/iTaDxk

The turnups might be a bit too informal got the baptism. I think I just straightened the pattern from the knee(ish) and added length.

Happy new year to all you creative, inspiring women. Thank you for sharing your highs and lows, sewing and otherwise, and for supporting advising me in my own creative endeavours! Helena x
