    Just spent an hour whipping this little number up! Gorgeous little skirt and such a fun sew!

    Ooh sounds rather strict! You could argue that there are such things as two piece dresses so you tried the opposite – a one piece blouse and skirt?

    I managed to sew the little after school blouse during sleeptime, all the way up to the last cuff and the buttons. The cuff is now sewn but the buttons are pretending to be attached. Clever me sewed…[Read more]

  • Well I have green eyes now! Would love to go shopping in New York! I was going to say happy shopping Sarvi but I see you didn’t actually get to. Maybe next time.

    @katybellabug Brittney’s playtime fox dress would be perfect and it looks simple and straight forward. They didn’t give you heaps of time! But then maybe they think you have a magic sewing wand (like people here think I have)! Hope you can get it done. I don’t know what the hood looks like so in my point of view the fox playtime looks the…[Read more]

    Thanks @katybellabug I think I can safely say they are on the mend And hopefully will be settled on the school bus tomorrow morning.

    I managed to get into the sewing room today. I cut out three more pairs of parachute pants and the aim was to assembly line sew them. I spent every nap time sewing and have almost completed them – just have the…[Read more]

    I have the two big kids at home unwell so not much is happening in the sewing room at present. Its a shame because I signed up for kcw and it starts today!

    I ended up cutting two more parachute polos out yesterday instead of the intended drafting of above said patterns. I hope to include these in the projects intended for this week.

    Has anyone…[Read more]

    Oh fencing! My eldest wants to learn but we live in the sticks and there is no instruction anywhere!

    I am almost complete with the parachute polo. Today is perfect sewing weather (raining outside) so I intend to settle in for the day but probably not sew, just tidy up a bit and cut things instead.

    I need to look at a possible rearrangement of my…[Read more]

    Well I started on the parachute polo today. I hd to cut a second front because it seems I don’t know my right from my left! Fortunately I got it correct second time around. I am now up to stitching the sleeves, after spending time hand basting. I find that interlock can be a bit of a beast and my machine likes to eat it!

    Oh both options seem pleasing! I was thinking of drafting the butterfly skirt myself tonight but ended up hand basting the sleeves to the parachute polo instead.

    Good to hear it was as simple as a new lens script Nicole.

    You could try two rows. I have just attached the collar to mine (6-12 months) and it took a little bit of careful manipulation. Hand basting is very beneficial to tame it in. I’m using interlock and it can be temperamental.

    And I too stuffed the first front with the placket! Did it the wrong way around!
