Lisa started the topic Upholstery Fabric for Jacket? in the forum
Sewing for Yourself 9 years agoHello! Not sure if I’m posting in the correct place but I’ll give this a whirl! (Update, I appear to be posting in the correct space now after an initial error). I would like to make the Caramel Jacket by Waffle patterns for myself. Will a fabric that is 9.2 oz per square yard be too heavy? It is described as upholstery fabric so I’m think…[Read more]

Will a fabric that is 9.2 oz per square yard be too heavy? It is described as upholstery fabric so I’m thinking maybe its not appropriate for a jacket. However, I live in Canada, so heavier could be…[Read more]

Sewing for Yourself 9 years agoWell, my quest for the perfect fit is improving almost daily, as I make more and more mistakes…no, seriously I am finally getting g to grips wit it, I think. I’ve made some Oliver+s patterns too of course, a new bubble dress for my granddaughter Rose and teaching my daughter to sew the baby layette pattern for the new baby, Chloe. But also lots…[Read more]

Sewing for Yourself 9 years agoFirst tip from me, when I sew a muslin, I put my seams on the out side, easier to alter.
#1 It appears you need to take fabric from the back piece, not the front. Unpick and move the back until you get the right fit, then pin and re-mark and trim to your new seams.
#2 That bust dart looks pretty good and your front arm looks nice!
#3 I wonder…[Read more]

Sewing for Yourself 9 years agoI didn’t expect them to show up here! But that seems convenient.
I’m planning to make this blouse over and over – button downs are a wardrobe staple for me. Since I’ll be using the pattern a lot, I want to get the fit exactly right. I made this out of an old sheet, and there’s some inconsistency about right and wrong side of the fabric because…[Read more]

Sewing for Yourself 9 years agoI can’t see any problems with that Ellen. If you get ticked off, blame me 😉
If you are nervous, perhaps post a link to a Flickr photo and people can comment on that?

Sewing for Yourself 9 years agoI’ve been working on a muslin for the Sewaholic Granville and I *think* I’ve got it to a point where it almost works. I would love to post some pictures for fitting advice, but I wanted to check if it’s Ok first, since it’s not a Leisl&Co/Lisette pattern. Would that be all right?
Leisl&Co and Todd, this is your space, and if you want it reserved…[Read more]

Sewing for Yourself 9 years agoHello everyone 🙂
After perusing Pinterest boards for Cappuccino and seeing some tops with beautiful big V -necks in stunning fabrics I am wondering if there is a way to make the neck a deeper and wider “V” ? I have seen a few tunic tops with stunning ribbon-like v-necks just like the Cappuccino and wonder if it can be done.
Has anyone…[Read more]

Sewing for Yourself 9 years agoHello. It has been YEARS since I’ve posted on here. I am regaining my sewing mojo and I want to make some things for ME. Hooray. My problem is that I prefer skirts and dresses longer . . . midi length. Which patterns could I lengthen to that length. I’ve got a couple of metres of liberty tana lawn and I’m considering downloading the everyday…[Read more]
