I’ve been watching the progress of that coat with great fascination!

@Buratti made some good points. My youngest is not as easily amused as my older children were, so my sewing is back to only a couple of hours a day (but my house is sparkly and washing up to date as she likes to help with those)

I have a new ‘most difficult project’ a jacket I am making my son. I have already put in 9 hours and only 1/4 of the…[Read more]

You are correct @sanitystitches , it presses forward and is decorative.

I managed the jeans but didn’t get the other things done. Have to leave this afternoon so I have no choice but to leave them for when I get back. I will be back in Perth again next week anyhow so hopefully I will have some pj’s and a bathrobe finished in that time also.

@nan53 did you measure your grand daughter’s hips? My 15 month old has to wear an 18-24 month size on her bottom half just because of her hips! I haven’t as yet made this pattern for her and, knowing it is a slimmer fit skirt, I will do the same and use this size. She is a 12-18 month size in the top half.

You can always go up and then tighten…[Read more]

Traveller dress needs collar stitched down, buttons and holes and sleeve hems done.

B5616 needs sleeves sewn in waistband on and buttons and holes.

Jalie jeans need topstitching, back pockets and a basic putting together of well, everything!

Nearly there with all three.

We agreed on this – Emily voted for the smocking on black velvet, and I chose the white coat. However, this heirloom creation was the most time consuming!

As far as what we would like to learn . . .
How to work well with (and feel confident using) a variety of fabrics – swimwear, knits, chiffon, crepe, leather, laminates, etc. and understanding…[Read more]

Slowly making my way through b5616. Really a very straight forward sew, just I decided to distress along the way and very nearly ripped the fabric. Of course it has to have pink topstitching!

Have to find out about the errata if any for afterschool pants as the middle part is a bit long. I think I remember it being mentioned. Never made this size…[Read more]

Thankyou for your kind words @motherof5, you know what these farmers are like, tough to rein in when they need to stay put. It would have been the perfect opportunity to spring clean the office! Oh well, at least he is allowed to work but heavy lifting is still off limits so we have a young guy working with us until the end of seeding. He has been…[Read more]

I hope Murray continues to mend, poor chap, he must be so frustrated just over seeing the workmen.

So sad to hear Prince has died. I have several of his songs in my running playlist, I got quite a lump in my throat working out today. 🙁

I have started my sons blazer and I am grateful for being sleep deprived/fearless/don’t care as there are next to no instructions.

My fabric is a nice wool/poly mix, but not expensive so if it is a cluster it can be donated to the local Am-Dram group.

I am predicting this will be at least a two week sew.
