I’m also looking to empoofen the bubble. Has anybody tried this? How did it work out?

Most annoyed that I couldn’t find a good piece of linen suitable for the Sandbox trousers — wound up cutting them from a sandy cotton … something, not sure what to call it. Not twill, but heavier weight, like that. Speck of stretch to it, I think, it’s a bit hard to tell.

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.

Ha! I agree!

@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]

Also, keep an eye on your pocketbook. Buttons add up 🙂

You know, I’m afraid I actually wound up not doing any fabric shopping, as I was there for only a very short time, so I tried to only see/do/eat things I couldn’t get at home or online. I did pop into Purl Soho because it was close to something else I wanted to visit, and I did go to the wonderfully-named Tender Buttons, which I very highly…[Read more]

You know you’ve been sewing O+s too long when you can eyeball half an inch. Exactly.

Sarvi, i’m interested in how your trip went, and where you’d recommend, especially as it sounds like you already have a lot of choice on your doorstep.

Hi @admin — I’m terribly sorry but I’m afraid I’m not able to recall what I was using at the time. I feel it *should* be in Chrome on my MacBook but I’m not seeing it any longer. I can give you version numbers and a screencap of what I see now, if you like.

Here you are @SC

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]

Without wanting to cause offence to Chestnut (last thing you need is to have to take him to counselling!) is he a portly bear?
The only place I could imagine you’d need to alter would be the waist if he/she was very rotund.
Otherwise it’s just a matter of scaling up or down if you think Chestnut is much bigger/smaller than the average doll.

Great fitting tips here — I made a size 5 for my kid and they were a bit baggy on her, she’s inherited dad’s aerodynamic lines, haha.

Haha, we have a similar bear here, I can totally relate! No tips but I would love to learn from you if you tackle it!

Hi Jerri! I remember being really intimidated by knits when I first started, but I’ve come to really enjoy them. They’re very forgiving, in a way. Here are a few great tips:
