Ugh, @justsewit, I’m so sorry about the cost! I do hope it will be every bit worth it. I certainly wrote it intending it to be that way. Thanks for trusting me!

Thank you, @dubhels2003. Just to illustrate the difference, if you purchase my first book on Amazon I make 55 cents. If you purchase it directly from us I make $8.50. So it does help A LOT when you purchase directly from us.

Glad you’re excited, @sasha! Oh, and yes. It will be available for sale directly from us, and much sooner than Amazon…[Read more]

Thanks, @justsewit!

Well, aren’t you sweet, @justsewit! Thanks for the compliment. And the answer!

Liesl, I hope soon. With my fyrbro I sew standing up but now that is not woring but where there is a will there is way! My husband and I are trying to figure out ssomething this week. The sewing bug is calling my name! I have a special quilt I want to make for someone and I can’t seem to get it started. I hope you feel better very soon and the…[Read more]

Thanks! Funny you mentioned badminton, because I was thinking of buying that to make school skirts. She liked the butterfly, but hated wearing both shorts and skirts (2 waist bands) so I was thinking badminton for the skort for school!

And I love that Tania culotte. The shorter version is exactly what she…[Read more]

Thanks so much for your reply, @justsewit.

I’m actually making view A… The pattern days to cut 2 interfacing strips. One for the crotch And I assumed the front snap packet needs the other strip but it doesn’t actually say where or whe attach it.

Any ideas?

I’m working my magic with fabric,
Of a colour described as “drab brick”

Geez Tamara (@justsewit) not an easy rhyme!! 🙂

@justsewit, how frightening! And probably a little frustrating. I’m quite certain that the repair shop locked the lug nuts on very tightly for you, considering. It’s so frustrating to have car troubles when traveling by yourself with small children. Not to mention having to pay for vehicle work to be done. So glad you were able to repair the issue…[Read more]

Thank you so much Tamara @justsewit! I will keep your pointers in mind as I experiment!

@justsewit I have always gone in person yo the Melbourne store. There are stores in Wellington (NZ), Sydney & Melbourne (Aus) and Los Angeles (U.S.A.)
I guess they’d ship from whichever had stock and was closest to you.
Now that it has turned cold I want a wardrobe full of merino fleece long sleeved tees!

@justsewit, you could always send her a friendship request. Once it is accepted you’ll be able to send a private message.

Yes, I think @justsewit might be right. It’s difficult to tell from the photos, but you might want to try a swayback adjustment. Or maybe you just need to take in the hips more? It sort of looks like if you pin the hips, especially at the back, to be a little tighter you’ll eliminate the drag lines. It definitely doesn’t need to be looser–overall…[Read more]

There could be a a couple things here.

The name and the @ tag are not always the same. If I would try to send a message to @Tamara it wouldn’t get through to you because that’s your display name. I would need to address it to @justsewit because that’s your username. Could that be it?

The second thing it could be is something new–so it wouldn’t…[Read more]

Thank you, @justsewit for chiming in. I really appreciate it. I wondered if swayback might be what I was dealing with. I’ve got the book Fit for Real People and that was the only thing I could find that looked like it might be the problem. I just haven’t really noticed that on anything else I’ve made, so I wanted someone else’s opinion! I do…[Read more]

Agreed, @justsewit! I love this little community of ours. Cheers, everyone! xo

Thanks, @justsewit !That does make sense, and I’ll make sure to post how things turn out after giving it a try. @liesl, I’ve learned so much from your patterns already!

That sounds like great advice, Tarama (@justsewit)! And I’m flattered that you turned to one of our pattern to learn the technique, @carries12345. Keep us posted on how it turns out!
