How messy is messy Ellen?

When I apply a cuff, I attach it from the inside and the topstitch it from the right side.

I can find a picture if you need.

I got a good start on Elsa’s (15) trench coat, so far it is going together nicely.

We are having a ‘discussion’ about the length. She wanted in long but now would like me to chop a lot off.

There are lots of lovely new faces popping in everyday so I thought I would bump this thread up.

I had twins, happy to chat!

On a sewing level, Hopscotch dresses make the BEST baby gowns.

Liesl Gibson replied to the topic I *really* want to sew a tent/trapeze dress — which Liesl + Co or Lisette?? in the forum Sewing for Yourself 9 years ago

That’s a cute dress! I love Rachel Comey’s designs.

It’s difficult to see the details in the photos, but I’d tend to start with the Gallery Tunic if I was doing it. It’s the closest silhouette to this dress, but you’ll still need to do some work to get the right look. I hope it works and you keep us posted on your progress!
Liesl Gibson replied to the topic Making a sleeveless gallery tunic in the forum liesl + co: gallery tunic + dress 9 years ago

Typically a sleeveless pattern has a much higher armhole than a pattern with sleeves, so you’ll want to raise the armhole when you try this. You’ll probably also need to do a little work to eliminate gaping at the armhole, so I’d definitely recommend making a muslin if you’re going to try this. But if the pattern fits properly across the chest you…[Read more]

Sorry, that would have been me. I ran some maintenance on the database, and it seems to have kicked out a bunch of notifications. I’m not sure why. Not sure why some can’t be marked read or deleted. Could be a caching issue and they will be taken care of in a little while.

I felt loved! 😉
Rachel Le Grand replied to the topic Butterfly Blouse Sew Along in the forum Sew Alongs 9 years ago

Good morning sew-alongers! Day 4 has now been added 🙂
Nicole replied to the topic Hey, what's wrong here? in the forum about the forums 9 years ago

Well, that was a bit weird.
I just received six random notification emails, some were messages and some were thread comments, all from months back.
Spooky….
Liesl Gibson replied to the topic Waistband too short in the forum liesl + co: city stroll wrap skirt 9 years ago

Depending on your fabric, you may need to ease in the waist a bit to fit the waistband. To do this, you would just add a gathering stitch to the top edge of the skirt and pull up on the thread tails to cinch up the fabric a bit. Then you’ll just smooth the fabric so you don’t have any puckers before sewing it. Does that make sense?

Still sewing Winter coats. Onto Elsa’s in a red wool with purple Duchess satin lining.
Nicole replied to the topic What are you sewing now? in the forum off topic 9 years ago

Enjoy sewing your shirt Ellen. I think a smart shirt is lovely on a fellow (and I love sewing them too).

Don’t panic, re the Tea Party dress, Tamara. Trixie is 8 months old and I can just squeeze her into the 0-3 month if she is wearing a disposable.

I finished a vintage coat for Lidia and now I am on to one for Elsa. 1960’s I am guessing, by…[Read more]
