I hope Murray continues to mend, poor chap, he must be so frustrated just over seeing the workmen.

So sad to hear Prince has died. I have several of his songs in my running playlist, I got quite a lump in my throat working out today. 🙁

I have started my sons blazer and I am grateful for being sleep deprived/fearless/don’t care as there are next to no instructions.

My fabric is a nice wool/poly mix, but not expensive so if it is a cluster it can be donated to the local Am-Dram group.

I am predicting this will be at least a two week sew.

If you want really pointy ears, I wonder if a scrap of boning would work?

I sewed it in cotton velvet and my ears were a bit floppy (but oh so cute)

Much the same as @markjebobarrhotmail-com but it was a wedding dress and the bride was pregnant and her boobs were too big on the day!
I had to hand sew the dress to her bra.

It was a pretty embroidered voile and was all split by the end of the night.

My favourite sew was a Peacoat for my son, it was a big sew but not hard, just a lot of steps…[Read more]

I am not sure what it’s correct name is but I use this stitch, not too tight with the tension.

A small stitch to the tube (or the dress) and then a longer one to the other, but don’t pull too tight!

Good luck!

@juliamom2009 oh no, Babies MUST be in pounds or I have no idea 😉

Well, as a child of the seventies in the US I remember when President Ford announced we would be joining the rest of the world and going metric. And I remember getting a crash course in metric measurement in grade school.

And then, nothing…. The people spoke and said, “We don’t like change. And we like all this confusing non base ten stuff and…[Read more]

School Hol’s start tomorrow and we are off to our beach cottage. It will be freezing but the Fab Five will swim in wet suits.

Lovely fabric @lotuspeachblog

Have you started? I think the top could look stunning colour blocked, particularly if you used darker colours to your advantage. I, personally, wouldn’t mix plains with florals in a top, I would make the top or skirt from the patterned but that is purely personal and as I wear mainly black, grey or navy I am probably…[Read more]

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/
