Oh no @thejennigirl, it is funny to read but not so funny to deal with, I am sure.

I finished a hooded top for my daughter and now I am on to a denim skirt.

My baby girl loves the outside so I am not getting as much sewing done, my garden looks lovely though 😉

This is really useful, thank you so much for sharing it.

You posted just right @thesimpson5.

Just a wee tip, if you are short on fabric, you *can* cut the tie in three pieces. The back neck section on bias so it fits nicely and the tie sections on straight of grain. It is a bit fiddly but saves a lot of fabric if you are pushing things.…[Read more]

Have fun! As I was looking for this pattern, I noticed the 2+2 blouse has ties at the neckline, and one of the views of the Birthday Party has ties at bodice — might like to check those out, you too, Jeb 🙂

Happy sewing, folks!

There is very little difference in length among the sizes 5-8, looks like about 1/8 to 1/4 inch difference between sizes. They’re all 3.25 inches wide. The size 8 has notches on both long sides at the same point, 9.25 inches from the straight end. The length is 26 and 3/8 for the size eight, measured along the long edge, and the pointy tip is 3/4…[Read more]

And indeed you are! I don’t have my copy handy but can check for you when I get home. Jeb, look up at the top of the page and you will see it says discuss>Apple-picking — that will help identify which pattern is being discussed. Also there is only one pattern which has a neck tie, or am I forgetting one?

@liesl I loved it and the Jumprope is my favourite pattern out of all my sewing patterns, not just O+S.

I have finished my daughter, Elsa, turn on my #sewingrota http://fiveandcounting-motherof5.blogspot.com.au/2016/03/elsa-round-up.html and now I am onto Zara, her twin.

Today I started a knit jacket with welt pockets. The instructions were very scant so I pulled out my Art Museum pattern.

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.

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]

I changed up a Metro tee to have a waterfall neckline last year and I have now made my second one (with a third in the pipe line as I’m still undecided on the colour of the second one).

I was super pleased with the first version of the waterfall neckline so I didn’t make any changes to it other than cutting a long sleeve but that was because I…[Read more]

I thought I’d revive this thread – I know some of you are interested.

Sweden’s Crown Princess Victoria gave birth to her second child, a boy, yesterday evening.

The new little Prince will be named Oscar Carl Olof and has been made Duke of Skåne (Scania, my county actually, yay!) by his grandfather the King.

The only two persons who were Duke…[Read more]
