I hope you will post photos of the dress, Tamara!

Speaking of sewing tiny things, I am knee-deep in doll clothes to accompany the dolls my girls will get for Christmas. There are a billion free patterns for the 18″ dolls online, but as is often the case with free patterns, I am finding them to be hit or miss. I can’t bring myself to pay money…[Read more]

The dress turned out fantastic and she looked very grown up – the Principal even commented on how pretty it was and her shoes! Alas I didn’t get to take a photo – hands full with a wriggly baby. Now it is covered in meatball sauce and needs a wash.

I think I will make it a tiny bit longer next time as she had issues when sitting (it rode up…[Read more]

I am so pleased it worked out @enbee

@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]

What a great topic, thank you @emilyg

This is near to my heart as it is my 7 year olds sewing turn next.

I was going to suggest the hopscotch. You can make a shirt or dress. You can color block. My almost 6 year old loves the two I just made. She wants them as nightgowns so comfy.

But yes input it key. It is their ownership of the garment. But I limit choices. I present an either or Or best of 3.

Hi @emilyg I think it would be a very personal choice. My daughter was around this age when I started sewing Oliver and s patterns for her. Alot of the things weren’t worn because I forgot one important element in the equation – to have her make some of the decisions.

Does your daughter like relaxed outfits or does she like to dress up and go…[Read more]

I stitched the lining to the zipper but badly and will have to repeat the action properly so that we won’t see the stitching from the outside this time 😱😳.

I am currently altering the Lisette B6183 pants pattern to fit the body of mine. The aim is to make a pair of navy linen trousers to wear later this week.

What a stunning color of a muslin. I want a dress in that color. And the back was a lovely fit. I can’t wait to see the dress!

Yes, I need the book!

I just finished a hopscotch. One was done except hems. I think I will probably never hem a knit again and will always lettuce them. So easy. I do it a touch differently than the tutorial.…[Read more]

Ok the dress is done except the stitching of the lining to the zipper. I can do that tomorrow night when I have some time to sit and stitch by hand. It looks lovely (even if I do say so myself) and I will attempt to have my (somewhat grumpy with me) daughter model it tomorrow afternoon.

I shifted the bust dart point back 1.5 inches and it looks…[Read more]

Fortunately I have not cut the linen yet and I see where I have gone wrong now. I measured the point of the dart as her apex (duh!) of course it can’t hit right on the apex what was I thinking?! Sleep deprived!

@withloveHeidi I was thinking of B6168 also but I have the pattern in larger sizes only. At least this one, I had planned to make her at…[Read more]
