Oh I think just B & W. :). Maybe grey since monochrome is the spectrum really. Otherwise anything goes.

What if we plan for end of September? Enough time to plan and execute?

I am still on my jumprope. We went to NYC for the weekend for our anniversary. Bought fabric. Now I’m really behind!

For some reason my message above looks garbled!

Anyway, its Wednesday and I have not started any sewing projects for the show. I think I will have to give it a miss this year. Three kids poorly and myself working hard not to go over the edge with a lurgy also. Not to mention farm issues (shearers not turning up etc). It has turned out to be all a…[Read more]

Does it have to be party? Or can we go summer bbq Christmas party casual?

The Monochrome Project…

Off to search for the right B/W to match with the right pattern!

Thank you Sarvi, your experience of the T Party is also very helpful as I cut out a size 5 of the dress, and would like to make it up for the intended child but was concerned it might be too tight. Now I know it’s probably worth the effort, and if it doesn’t fit Miss B, then it will be fine for a younger child. Since leggings are all the go here,…[Read more]

@justsewit Tamara mine was a relatively thick, stable blend knit. Not as thick as a Ponte. No curling like a cotton lycra, so probably a poly blend. It has a slightly brushed surface and is lovely to wear. It’s the same fabric I’m wearing in the V neck tutorial post.
I’d say it should work in most knits but not really slinky viscose jerseys!

The best thing to do is probably to measure the flat pattern across the waistline. Without the darts will it give a big enough waistline?
It would be lovely to do them the same as your first.
I’m wary of the LTTS tutu as wedding attire due to the potential gap at the back. The apron style is perfect for dress ups but would not be a good look in church!

The newspaper project …. Well it is black and white isn’t it?

When opposites attract? Gah! What a rotten start! I have Michael Jackson’s song in my head now!

It will be fun to see what people come up with. I’ve been inspired already!

Gosh! I thought I was being clever making mine in the same print woven and knit but this takes the cake!

I just have a question, what sort of knit did you use?

I’ve just started my zebra dress. I’ll round up some other pics from Flickr/Pinterest and get an inspiration post up on the blog to get us started. Now, I challenge anyone to come with a monotone/September catchy title!
