If it is stretch velveteen and got a good stretch you shouldn’t need the pleat as long as you do not go too long!
I think a pearly stretch cotton sateen would look lovely as a bib. Or use the same fabric and make some ruffle roses from the same fabric and sew them to one side of the yoke like a corsage. You could sew multiple pearls as a centre…[Read more]

Thanks for pointing that out. It’s odd, and you’re the first to notice it.
It looks like 1/8″ was added to all sides of each sheet when the Bubble Dress file was generated. (I’ve checked all the digital patterns, and it was only this one that is sized that way.)
The good news is that this won’t have any impact on the accuracy or sizing of the…[Read more]

You should check the errata notice for that pattern. All the details are provided for you here:

If I was adding fullness to the front I would certainly add to the back as well.
Don’t forget to move those notches!

Does it really? I thought it went over the shoulders-how embarrassing!

I will make the biggies hunt it out this arvo and check the spacing for you.
(and thank you,I have nearly finished it)!

Heidi,what a kind and generous soul you are!
I must admit I can’t measure my daughters as it is MIA,however,I was given the great tip of crossing the shoulders straps as my Matilda is such a mini moo it falls off her shoulders.
If I was sewing for a trading table,I would add the fluffy side of the velcro to the straps at regular increments to make…[Read more]

I went and measured the one I made. I placed the first velcro 8 1/2 inches from the end of the strap (not where it attaches to the carrier) and the second 12 inches from the end. My carrier is for my 4 and 7 year old daughters. Hope that helps!

I will have to get Hugo off the building site and back into the office.
He learnt how to grout yesterday!

I am putting them on a Pinterest board and tagging them now.
Basically,I don’t know how to do it(Make a side bar thingy).
I will ask Hugo-thanks for the compliment and interest Sarvi.

Nicole, is it possible to have a set of links in the sidebar of your blog to all of your tutorials? They’re such a useful resource, it would be so nice to have them all collected in one easy-to-browse spot. I basically search your blog first because I know it’ll be like a ‘practice run’ through making the pattern but sometimes I have to dig a…[Read more]

I blogged it if that is any help?

Don’t forget the mail order option. It can take a week but they hunt around and find it all for you!
Well worth the 7$ p&h.

Exactly! Thank you, my hero!
