Sewing friends sure are the best
Better than all of the rest
They’re there every time
To offer a rhyme

Thank you ladies. We are fortunate to have very good support – so many people have brought food that we don’t have room in our refrigerator. And I have lots of help with the children. I am trying to balance spending time with them and being at the hospital, as my husband is sad when I leave. My in-laws are here so we are taking shifts.

Masha – I read this yesterday and just now got time to comment – I have been thinking of you all day. I’m sending love and positive thoughts as well.

We have a friend (Julia’s basketball coach) who was an NBA player who had a stroke in his 30’s. He’s fine now, but it (obviously) changed his life.

I wish I could get on a plane and come help…[Read more]

Oh Masha.
I wish a speedy recovery for him and as much help can be mustered for you. If only I lived nearby….

I feel strange posting about this but as I feel I have gotten to know many of you over the last years, here goes. My husband suffered a stroke yesterday morning. He is in the intensive care unit at the hospital and in critical condition. His left side is completely paralyzed. He is only 37 years old and we have no idea what happened. Our lives…[Read more]

Just typed a long post then lost it, anyway mine did the same thing @juliamom2009 and it was good old quilting cotton. Now in the mending pile.
Perhaps we need to interface both main and yoke. The same issue was found with Badminton dresses. What do you think @liesl an errata or warning required?

Exactly what Nicole said; that kid (and the tie) are too adorable for words!

I have made this pattern twice – no problem after washing. Unfortunately, both of my neck closures shredded at the bottom after washing. Most likely I clipped too close in my effort to get it to turn nicely. But, the gathers look just fine.

Coat sewing but I wish it was frocks
Wool lint is all over my socks
It’s not all that bad
‘Least I’m not in Baghdad
Sewing hundreds of pairs of men’s jocks

(sorry, got carried away with 2 lines there 🙂 )

My kid has got arms like an ape

It took me an eon to sew
She’s going to just love it, I know
French seams throughout
But still, there’s a doubt

It’s my understanding that 36″ wide paper comes on a roll. Should be able to print to whatever length you want.

Search for a print shop that will do blue prints. They’re not hard to find.

JoannaH, I think if you can get a good fit in the shoulders, and have the tunic glide over the rest of your body, it will look great.

I’m chuckling to myself this morning Johannas. I saw the picture of JohannaO in the flickr group and thought the tunic was perfect, and wondered why she was asking for advice after the fact. Happy sewing Johanna!
