My sewing machine’s gathering dust …
My scissors have started to rust …
The pins,they are lonely
I would use them, if only…
Nicole replied to the topic Sewing with smooth/slippery fabrics in the forum off topic 8 years ago

I tend to shop by feel and drape so I am not much help with names…

May I say, if anyone makes you feel bad, they are the jerks, not you!

You ask your questions, only a stupid person stops learning.
Nicole replied to the topic sewing for men in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 8 years ago

Shirts with two piece collars and cuff plackets are always on my radar.
I would love your instructions for these.

Cargo shorts, something like the Field Trip with no waist band/elastic back casing would be great as work/casual wear.

We love our food @lisamm Thank you for the suggestion. My Biggies were ‘Smash’ fans so when we saw the exhibition flyer, we booked extra days accommodation so we could see it.
Nicole replied to the topic another question! in the forum Sewing for Yourself 8 years ago

My girls and I love racer back tops. We work out and have nice shoulders and want to show them.

I don’t find visible bra straps a problem and younger women don’t mind at all.

Spaghetti straps are very pretty too. I wouldn’t wear them to sit in the sun all day but otherwise, very cool and comfortable.

Swim trunks that are not board shorts (he has a pair that are a bit more tailored which he loves) and a slim button-up shirt, please!

This denim it just will not stretch
When I wear it I feel I must retch
So tight ’round my guts
I have back and front butts…

Well, it looks like I made a spelling error. So, for catching it, @lightningmcstitch, you have to take the next line:

Thank you.

The season for sewing has changed
My skirts and I are estranged
But my jackets and coats
Are garnering votes
Time for clothing, to be, exchanged.

I just want to sit down and sew!
Nicole replied to the topic What are you sewing now? in the forum off topic 8 years ago

I finished my turn on the #sewingrota on a high with some gorgeous back jeans for me!
Three pairs of jeans, a denim shirt and four tee’s were a much needed injection of clothing in my wardrobe.

Now I am on to formal sewing, Zara’s first. Some gorgeous Gatsby inspired sequinned tulle.
Nicole replied to the topic Making a t shirt dress from the metro-t in the forum liesl + co: metro t-shirt 8 years ago

Watch your sleeve cap, it may need a little pinched from it, it is easy to do after sewing.
I ave found (with a longer tee/tee dress) you can get some odd things happen at the shoulder due to the extra weight of the extra fabric.
Nicole replied to the topic New here? Introduce yourself! in the forum off topic 8 years ago

Hello @cammipatterson, I am so glad you have joined!

Liesl’s patterns are just so good, you will learn a lot and be so pleased with your results.

Nicole replied to the topic Smocking in the forum Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 8 years ago

@sewgirl23
I think the 2+2 would be gorgeous. Just under the tie, instead of the tab.
ASM Blue did a gorgeous Ice Cream blouse. I would use gingham, so I could stitch the squares, rather then pleat.

I still love French knots.

I think simple smocking looks cleaner and more modern.

That’s a good idea — I read much more than I comment, or I get busy but bookmark things for future use — but it must seem like radio silence from the other end!

I was able to change the title of the post.
