I take it the maiden voyage was a huge success then😜 I am thrilled you have had the chance to sew, let alone finish the project. Hip hip hooray! Have you had the chance to put it on flickr yet? Need to go looksee.

I have been sewing the two bubble dresses I had planned for this week but hit a slight snag. The front outer skirt was a tad longer…[Read more]

@AmyF I really hope it comes together for you. I was going to say measuring the back of the little girl you are sewing for would enable you to make sure you need to adjust in that area. Sometimes little girls can carry upper body weight – everyone is different in how they develop.

You will post pictures when it is done won’t you? Wishing you a…[Read more]

Me too! It was even upsized! https://www.flickr.com/photos/justsewit_tk/5992298535/in/album-72157632547805689/

Sharon absolutely!

Heidi Is guess in the tag section?

I might have to book my daughter in for sewing lessons with someone else. She sat and watched as I showed her how to thread it and how to fill the bobbin but that was the extent of it all. She has been using her charm pack to practise sewing straight and making them into basic bags. She wants to sew something for Chloë but in true teen style, she…[Read more]

I am putting the finishing touches to my birthday party dress. I used the elastic measurements from the layette pattern to use for the elastic on the seashore bloomers and it was a little long. I couldn’t get the whole length to go into the casing! So had to take a bit off and in exchange got the right amount of gather on the leg and waist (not…[Read more]

I’m looking forward to seeing what you come up with Sarvi – haven’t seen your sewing alot lately so it will be nice to see how you mash things up.

I have a few ideas but have to get kcw out of the way first.

Just saw the vest Heidi and it looks stunning!

I have laid out my birthday party dress pieces on the remnant of fabric left over from a ballsedup fairy tale dress for Imogen a few years ago. This time the dress will work. I can’t wait as, like the seashore sundresses, it has been dancing around in this noggin for a little while so its time to…[Read more]

Wow! Lots of sewing Heidi. Lucky you for having a four day weekend! I am sewing along with kids clothes week and have so far made two Seashore dresses and bloomers to match. I have some fabric ready to layout with the Birthday party dress on the cutting table which is the next project and after that I hope to have at least one bubble dress made.…[Read more]

Sounds good😀

@cybele727, @lightningmcstitch? Any suggestions as to type of challenge and start/ finish date? It’s pretty busy here at the moment but I should be able to squeeze in some time for another challenge between now and February (in amongst harvest, Christmas, first birthday and school prep). But then I would imagine you guys in the northern hemisphere…[Read more]

Oh yes! That would be an idea.

Hi @mmollett what a lovely dress! I can see why you are so inspired by it.

Do you own the Lullaby layette pattern at all? And more importantly is the little one you are sewing for wearing a size 24months or smaller? I can see a happy and very close adaptation of the linked dress using the top of this pattern and that is why I asked.

The sleeves…[Read more]

Oh yes it does😀 And it would be nursing friendly (not like a rtw cross over top I tried nursing in and the tiny press stud popped off first go😱. Thank goodness for Aunties with safety pins😜). I think I need it😉.

I think I also need to (seriously) trace the 12-18 month size of the puppet show shorts as (sigh!) I finally finished the (very cute if…[Read more]
