The kale was delicious! We almost fought over the last morsels.

Last night we had a ham and cheese pie. Isabel and I in particular loves pie and I always wonder why I never make it more often – until I make it and feel it’s such a big process with the crust and the pre-baking etc. I like to have them prepared in advance – does anyone know if you…[Read more]

Ooh, consider binding the arm holes, it gives a lovely finish.

Thanks for the link Nicole. I am not going to line the sleeves, so I may go with your option #2. I’m excited to pull out this pattern – one of my favorites!

In general, it’s fine to cut across the grain. The cross grain and length grain (weft and warp) are ALMOST interchangeable in many instances. Cross grain with have more stretch, and length grain is usually stronger and may drape a little better. But if you’re working with cotton and kids clothes, there really won’t be too much of a difference. Just FYI.

The kale was so good! We almost fought over the last morsels.

Last night I also made a pie for tonight and while I was at it – lamb meatballs in tomato sauce to be served with spaghetti tomorrow. Not sure where all that energy for cooking came from (normally I just crash on the sofa after dinner) but it feels very nice to know that I have two…[Read more]

Oh, it was so good! We almost fought over the last morsels.

After dinner last night I managed to make a ham and cheese pie for tonight, and while I was at it I also made the lamb meatballs in tomato sauce I had planned tomorrow night.

When I made the pies I chopped up too much leek and I mixed some extra egg and milk for the filling so I had…[Read more]

After reading my own post, I would just baste and neaten the dress and lining together and then add the yoke, as per usual.

I have a blog post here Janice http://www.pinterest.com/pin/73676143878325815/
I adore this dress pattern.

Agree – it should be fine

That was a huge job, well done!

Which way are you pressing the dart?

Snow sounds so exciting to me, but I gather the mud that comes with it is not so beautiful.

Stay safe Melanie!

The only time I got caught out cutting against the grain was with a silk Birthday Party dress.
I cut the ties, one side with the grain one side against, and the against side stretched a bit.

Handle it carefully and it should be fine

Maybe a photo will help? (I hope so.)
