    What did I do with my thread?

  • @thesimpson5 I am very sure Liesl and some other ladies will chime in here. I had a good look at the photos and from what I can see is there are wirnkles that are not “it’s too tight” wrinkles but “there’s too much fabric” wrinkles on the skirt part of the back dress. They are pointing away but look baggy which says to me you need to take it up…[Read more]

  • Hi Jennifer I can confirm that French seams can be done on the side seams as I have done them myself. I did a 1/4 inch wrong sides together then trimmed to 1/8inch, pressed the seam and turned the whole side through to the inside pinned and stitched again using a 1/4 inch seam. The fact that the arm and body are intact should not make a difference…[Read more]

  • The culottes have a very dropped crotch, so this is one pattern where you’d probably get away with not making changes.
    However, beware making such big size changes as you’ll lose the proportions of the pattern and could end up with something quite odd.
    Perhaps you could make the 2T with size 4 leg length.
    You could run a tape measure from front…[Read more]

  • Tamara replied to the topic What are you sewing now? in the forum off topic 8 years ago

    I didn’t get very far with the Archers over the weekend. Between a poorly baby and power outages it was a no win. Instead I taped together a few pdf’s in preparation for the next things I want to make. I also traced and cut out a few more things, not too many mind. I measured the boy who seems to have slimmed out slightly (which is always good)…[Read more]

  • Replying to my own question… I’ve made these pants quite a few times now and I remove the basting stitches. The slight “openness” makes it look more like a functional fly.
    I’m in the “remove them” camp.

  • needlewoman replied to the topic Spammer? in the forum off topic 8 years ago

    Never thought it was, dear lady. These ‘things’ are sent to try us; the price of being able to communicate ‘on line’. Dear T, thank you for the tips about ‘spotting’ a spammer/intruder ahead of time. This ‘innocent abroad’ can use all the education she can get; especially, as the more vicious types ie. the ones that want to ransom your files for…[Read more]
