How lovely of you to put this together! Facebook keeps making it more and more difficult for us to reach our fans, so we really appreciate all your efforts.

You may want to consider changing your group from “Public” to “Closed” – personally, I don’t need my non-sewing (like work, basketball, soccer etc.) friends seeing my posts/comments in sewing groups….not that there’s anything wrong with sewing…I’m also weirded out when my non-sewing friends follow me on Instagram as well – maybe it’s just me!…[Read more]

Very sweet! Now I know what to do with all those buttons I’ve let S buy over the years to reward her for her patience at the trim store…

Good reminder to everyone who uses digital patterns. Ours are made with Adobe Acrobat and are guaranteed to work when you view and print them with Adobe Reader. If you use a different PDF viewer, the chances are good that the file will not print perfectly.

If any of the seams give you grief try ironing a small scrap of interfacing to stabilise the seam before sewing.

Good luck, they sound very groovy.

A very soft pinwale would be lovely. The pants fit for a long time too.

Congratulations Nancy, I am so excited for you.

I had my last lot made by Cash’s name labels. I think they are international, try Googling them.

Absolutely gorgeous, individually cut and iron-on-able.

I find this a good fit, not sloppy, for the size chart given. It is my skinny, broad shouldered 11 year old’s shirt de jour.

I do add some length, maybe 3 inches? You can always shorten it.

Hope that helps.

Thanks to all of you who were interested and offered to help.

I wanted to give an update that we’ve got the samples assigned out now, so we don’t need any more offers of assistance. But it was nice to hear from so many people who were willing to help! We appreciate it.

I have swopped to glue sticks, far more durable.

You could swop the side that you button on but my girls happily wear Hugo’s hand-me-downs.
Lidia is wearing them now, that is the third child to have them.

Unrelated to fabric, but completely related to Melbourne….

We have just had a new restaurant open a couple blocks from home here in New York. It’s called Babu Ji, and it’s an outpost of the original Babu Ji in St. Kilda. Same menu and everything. I guess the Singhs have moved to our neighborhood and opened a place here.

Just Sunshine, Heidi, Hugo was driving.
I may have purchased fabric….

Eeep, I am 2 minutes away from Eliza’s!

Thanks, everyone, for your interest.

After some discussion today, here’s what we think needs to be done. There are so many samples, almost all are size 3, and most people in the forums aren’t interested in purchasing since they sew for themselves. We think we need to broaden the potential customer base for a sample sale by listing the items on…[Read more]

The Sandbox Pants have a drawstring like you’re describing, Emily. Maybe look at those instructions and convert them to the After School? It would certainly be do-able, and the elastic makes it possible to pull the pants on and off without untying…
