@madtownmama congratulations Susan! I say go ahead and make the smallest size now because no matter how big she is, she will fit it well for a good while. My baby was 8lb 10oz at birth and she fit her 0-3 bubble and tops and pants for a good three months, which is always nice to know it will get good…[Read more]

I will be sewing Dalmation ears for the school play soon. Not sure once they discover I can sew how much more they will give me.

The 4th and 5th graders are doing Cruella deVil. My son got a lead- he’s Pongo- the father dog. He’s quite excited!

Well, I couldn’t find extra of the print fabric I was using to make the playsuit for Imogen. I may have to just make the bottoms into shorts and not worry about the top. I bought some more pink linen instead – the same colour as I used to make her Bistro dress. I plan to use it to make the pants version of the pattern as the weather is changing…[Read more]

Oh that looks like a lovely pattern Liesl! Looks as though it will provide a decent amount of coverage and hopefully won’t ride up (there is nothing worse than panties that creep up).

I think this is the pattern I’m going to try:

The seller has training in foundation garments, which gives me confidence that she knows what she’s doing. I’ll let you know how it goes!

Good memory, Nicole! That’s a really cute one.

What about adding a pleat down the back to take up the excess, and add bias binding to both edges of the front. Before you turn and finish the binding you could sew both bindings together at what will become the outer-most fold so you get a seam down the center. Like this quick sketch.

Is the fabric plain or patterned? Can you add add a small front strip panel, just a cm or so, to join the front pieces?

Or can you sew the selvedges together?

Oh dear Heidi, I do feel for you.

By the way, cruise through these beautiful dresses. https://www.flickr.com/search/?w=694451%40N21&m=pool&q=jump%20rope

Hi @willknitformath I would think you have safely got enough fabric for the size 3T depending on how much length you add.

There was a gorgeous multi fabric Jumprope made a few years back, I will see if I can find it in the pool.

For me, I would consider a white collar and placket to complement the different fabrics.
It will eliminate pattern…[Read more]

The briars are for Imogen @WithloveHeidi. I do not foresee ever fitting into this size range again, or at least not for the foreseeable future. The neck seems to be very big for some reason and they look really long, even though I didn’t cut the cropped version to check for length. I will send it down to her to try on with the other Tania culottes…[Read more]

I feel a bit lonely, talking to myself….

I have a small pile of white based things I am working through today. Being the first chance of actually getting to the machine in weeks – this is most unusual!
