Hi @willknitformath I would think you have safely got enough fabric for the size 3T depending on how much length you add.

There was a gorgeous multi fabric Jumprope made a few years back, I will see if I can find it in the pool.

For me, I would consider a white collar and placket to complement the different fabrics.
It will eliminate pattern…[Read more]

@with-love-heidi, your layette is divine!

I lined some wool dungarees I made Trixie with lawn.
See here http://fiveandcounting-motherof5.blogspot.com.au/2015/05/baby-beatrix.html (not O+S *blush*)
They are brilliant as the wool is naturally water repellent keeping her dry when she toddles in wet grass.
Great choice!

My little girl is about to outgrow
Her coat, her frock, and chapeau
I’d better get sewing
Because there’s no knowing
Homemade will be met with a ‘No’.

Babies grow far, far too fast.

I have just finished two Liesl+Co Bento tees for my daughter, Zara (16).
One is in a very light knit which sewing the neck line nearly gave me a nervous breakdown (but turned out beautifully) and the other a weighty, draping cotton/modal.
Both look stunning paired with the two pairs of CityGym shorts I #queuejump sewed for her so she has something…[Read more]

How lovely is this?
(Or should I say ‘totes adorbs’, did I get that right Britters)?

What about the Hopscotch or the Butterfly? Personally I like the swingset in lightweight fabrics.

@with-love-heidi Yes!
Black coated denim, navy and light blue. Jeans and shirts is a pretty standard uniform for me.

Kwik Sew do a very nice jeans pattern that is easy to adjust due to the pattern layout.

I have had good success adapting the Sketchbook shorts too.

Hi @sallycsklarsky, I have been mulling this over for a few days now.

May I point out my tute https://www.pinterest.com/pin/73676143876173067/ ? Have a look at that and I will come back and add how I think a lining may work.

Sorry not to be more help.

@dubhels2003 , did you buy some after your meeting?

I just purchased some black coated denim (not from there, I wish) and I am itching for it to be my turn on the #sewingrota.

I am sorry for your loss @thejennigirl.

First day back at school tomorrow. Fingers crossed Lidia gets away with her Croquet #sneakyschooluniform. https://www.flickr.com/photos/motherof5/24181472982/in/album-72157662616182800/

I am so pleased Shelley. I have made that size before and it worked so I assumed your fabric must have stretched.

I just need to sew the button hole on Elsa’s blazer and it is done!

Next, a pair of navy Deer and Doe shorts for school.

That’s a shame, I am to the point where I want and crave a nice, detailed and technical sew. I long for a four scissor pattern. The simple ones do get made, and they are wardrobe staples, but I fear I am going to get bored and it won’t be fun or a challenge any more.
