Up to the waist band on some denim/wool jeans (vintage KwikSew) for my son, Hugo (18). Just as well I fitted the back seam as they were a bit toight.

Thank you Big4 big seam allowance 🙂

Yes, it definitely has been done and looks awesome!

I will hunt out a few for you, I remember some Echino canvas ones.

I am a metric-baby but swing between the two with the aid of a ruler.
Funny thing is, I trained as a hairdresser in the 90’s and we used imperial in college as well…

Hi @paula I have a tute for these and I wonder if it may be of some help. https://au.pinterest.com/pin/73676143875180630/

The pairs I have made are on to the third child and still going strong. The also make awesome swim shorts in taslon.

I think if you got a good fit of your bust /waist it could look lovely. I am not tall or willowy so avoid too much ‘floatiness’. I did wear the skirt with the Weekend blouse but I had good bust/under bust definition.

This skirt sat really low on me, with looser tops I felt a bit ‘messy in the middle’.
I am not sure I am being much help…sorry.

I had hoped it was you! @dubhels2003

I wore my Everyday skirt through out my last pregnancy with a fitted black tee. I quite liked that silhouette.

Yes, Liesl is correct, no-go on my huge headed bebe`s 🙂

Completely adorable, I hope you are well and made it to the actual maternity ward this time!

Anyone in the UK? @dubhels2003 http://www.ebay.com.au/sch/m.html?_odkw=&_ssn=countrybumpkinjo&hash=item33b45fabb8%3Ag%3AEqQAAOSwGYVW-7a8&item=222069500856&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2046732.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.Xoliver%2Bs.TRS0&_nkw=oliver%2Bs&_sacat=0

PS Interface the collar and facings as normal as well as the extra at the button holes.

Ha ha ha @Enbee, it gave me a good laugh.

I follow the rule you can make most woven patterns with knits (if you take great care) but not the other way.

I would indeed interface the button holes and where you sew the buttons (an extra square where they would go) and handle the fabric gently when sewing. Stay stitching the neck will be very…[Read more]

@thejennigirl How lovely you are.
As a girl I was very tiny but full busted and it was hard to find nice clothes.
You are correct, my Twins are quite a different size. They have full derrieres but are very small chested. They ‘out grew’ O+S pattern before they ‘grew out’ of the size range, IYKWIM?

May I suggest the Liesl+Co Bento tee? I made the…[Read more]

@enbee I have found they change instantly. If one of my photos get tagged with one of those explore ‘awards’ I make the photo ‘private’ (which gets rid of the 50 random favourites and odd comments) and then change it back to public.

@enbee I can only add my story. If I upload photos, privately, they seem to stay that way, even after I change the settings, for a period of time.

If I want a photo to be public, I upload it publicly.

Flickr can be a bit temperamental.

I am sorry not to be more help.

Pan cake day!

I had a large bag of oranges left at our door so I made these http://www.bestrecipes.com.au/recipe/pancakes-with-orange-sauce-L6750.html?ref=recipe_collection_view%2Csweet-sauce-recipes

So very very good!

@thejennigirl, I replied over in Current Affairs 🙂

There is not a lot of hand holding with this company though. My Twins love the style but I have to concentrate and do a lot of googling to figure things out.

Enjoy your daughter liking pink, that will likely fade out…[Read more]
