Ok I have gone back and tagged the ones already uploaded and uploaded the ones I didn’t do before. All have the tag you’ve requested @lightningmcstitch and @cybele727 so hoping you find them. They are all in Flickr as my instagram account is private so may not be able to see them there (even though some of them are in there).

I have had a lot of…[Read more]

Hi Rebecca, my husband requires a larger size also. I found this pattern https://jalie.com/jalie2111-mens-shirts-pdf-pattern-381. Not a camp collar but it looks similar to the sketchbook and the size range is huge so it is bound to be able to fit!

Unfortunately it is only available as a pdf BUT I can attest to the fact that the Jalie pdf patterns…[Read more]

I’ve made a butterfly skirt and top, a birthday party dress and a wrap skirt to include in the monochrome project. I do have a pair of puppet show shorts cut out but as to whether they will be done by the 5th is another thing. If they are completed them they can go with the white puppet show tunic as a set.

Oh poor sweetie! If it makes you feel good then that is all that matters, that’s what I say.

@lightningmcstitch stability is the word! They stretch in the shop though😖! Oh well. I will have a good look at the ottobre ribbing you suggest. The one thing I absolutely crave is good quality. Everything else can look the other way!

@lightningmcstitch as per instructions and with an overlocker. It is knit fabric fron spotlight – jersey it said- but it has like zero stretch and the neckband turned out rediculous! It went in the bin and I have vowed to look for stretchier stuff once I get to Perth. I also indulged and bought some fabric from girlcharlee (I know! Mad! given the…[Read more]

Yay😀 At least you finally are having some success! I discovered that doing a traditional fba doesn’t warrant for accommodating a larger than normal bicep so I need to redraft the front of the gallery tunic so the armscye can actually match the sleeve – i need two tops by tomorrow morning!

I am now about to embark on potentially ruining another pattern😖 Wish me luck!

Sarvi, of course you can! The more the merrier😀

I sense your frustration levels @withloveHeidi. I cut out two metro tshirts – one women’s size small and a men’s size xs. Started sewing the men’s xs in what I thought was knit fabric with 25% stretch – my foot😤😖 and what the HECK did I do to the neckline???? Oh how I do NOT LIKE SEWING WITH STRETCH FABRICS😭😡

Patterns need to be able to shape shift to fit me also! I don’t think I have ever used a pattern for myself that didn’t involve somesort of alteration – unless it was an accessory.

@lightningmcstitch she does! Modelled pics hopefully this week with of course her neon pink shoes! Thank goodness I went monochrome for this one but I hope to get another made in matching neon pink denim – it is the flavour of the moment 😜!

Alas I had no hands for much of today so tomorrow is going to be frantically busy!
