We’re currently living in Columbus Ohio having moved here earlier in the year from Australia. While it’s really cold outside the house is very warm and my daughter finds flannelette much too warm, she just doesn’t seem to get cold. We’re going to be in NYC for Xmas too and I’m planning to just pack knit pjs.

I am so pleased it worked out @enbee
Nicole replied to the topic What are you sewing now? in the forum off topic 9 years ago

@with-love-heidiHeidi, I am *finally* about to tackle that pattern. I hope I can call on you if I need to.

I have been sewing for Trixie. A Playtime tunic&leggings, a Bubble dress+bloomers, a Puppet Show+ shorts, a 2+2 blouse and now a Sailboat top and trousers.

I love how quick and rewarding tiny clothes sewing is.

What are the rest of you…[Read more]

The size will determine my answer @frances-suzanne
Up to size 2T, yes. After that I found it perfect.

Liesl Gibson replied to the topic Lisette B6244 Coat Sew Along in the forum Sew Alongs 9 years ago

@Cathbe, the best way to determine whether you need the twill tape (which I would actually recommend even if you don’t “need” it) is to check the stretch from selvedge to selvedge. If it stretches or if the fabric is quite heady you’ll almost certainly want it. I hope that helps!
Liesl Gibson replied to the topic Which size do I choose/ Cinema Dress in the forum liesl + co: cinema dress 9 years ago

Hello, @filur! Here’s a post that I think will help to answer your questions. Note, especially, #2.

15 tips for fitting a muslin

Holler if you have any further questions about it, ok?
Nicole replied to the topic Which pattern size should I get? in the forum oliver + s: fairy tale 9 years ago

@lightningmcstitch is correct. This is one pattern that needs to fit well in the girth. Get the smaller size.

(And make a muslin bodice)

Nicole replied to the topic Help finding this coat pattern! in the forum off topic 9 years ago

I would do as you suggest but sew one side of your collar to the jacket ( the under collar) and the upper collar to your facing/lining.

Then sew those together
Liesl Gibson replied to the topic Lisette B6244 Coat Sew Along in the forum Sew Alongs 9 years ago

Ah, that makes me so happy, @mychurchdoll! I’m headed to Paris in a few weeks–maybe I’ll get to wear mine, too! It’s been too warm here to wear it so far. Can’t wait to see photos, everyone! xo

And @sanitystitches, I completely understand the fear of heat with wool. I’ve found that the wool setting on the iron is absolutely perfect, and if you…[Read more]

@with-love-heidi thanks so much for starting the thread.

I’m thinking/planning on a holiday dress with hand embroidery on the front yoke of the Hide-and-Seek Dress, but will I have enough time???
