Wow.

Wow, I am seeing some fun stuff. Awesome job on the hat!!
I am pretty proud of this. It wasn’t difficult, but it was my first button placket for a shirt type style ever. My first collar ever. So, I learned a few new skills! And not that hard. Or at least when you have Ms. L next to you step by step.

Oh good I am sighing with relief at the thought of not having to sew along solo because of busy past week. I am going to aim to complete most of the special treatment today and then cut the pieces out. Should this step be successful, I may do the same as you and spend larger blocks of time on it to get it done a little faster.

I think I am just going to pretend it is the sew along this week coming instead. Being a week behind I’ll be able to complete it then. Still adding “texture”

You are very welcome Becky.
There are several lovely ladies that sew for others as they have none of their own, here. So you are not alone!
Please, please share your photos in the flickr group.
I personally find if people pop up 2 or 3 pictures I am more likely to click on them then if they pop up half a dozen as they take so long to load with my…[Read more]

I have! I made one last year for my then eleven year old (she’s now 12). I shortened the sleeves because of our summer heat and used a knit. She wore it around the house and then decided it was so comfy, she used it as her nightie.
I keep meaning to make another one….

I’d be nervous about glue, too. Nicole’s idea to ease it a bit is a good one. You could maybe try a little fusible interfacing to help stabilize it on the wrong side of the fabric? Also, if you’re able to change the amount of pressure of your presser foot that may help to reduce drag, or if you have a walking foot that would be useful too. If it’s…[Read more]

When I have time (snigger) I will contribute. My eldest in planning and building me a storage system for my sewing room/children’s craft room, in his Gap year.
It will be based on this http://www.pinterest.com/pin/73676143878252720/
I am so lucky!

It doesn’t matter too much if your stay stitching puckers a little. If you increase the stitch length you can ease it after sewing, anyway.
I am so glad you are using stay stitching. It will really add to the professional finish of your garment.
I would be nervous of glue, in case it went hard or got on my iron.
I agree with Sarvi, it is lovely to…[Read more]
