    Congratulations Heidi, what a bonus getting more patterns!

    It sounds like everyone has their sew-jo at the moment, I love reading what people are up to.

    I did manage to measure myself, accept what babies have done to my body which isn’t the end of the world, pull myself together and trace the everyday skirt pattern and cut it out of blue…[Read more]

  • Happy Tuesday! For those of you who are sewing along with us this week, day two is now up!

  • Nicole replied to the topic What are you sewing now? in the forum off topic 10 years ago

    Awww, thank you Sandi and Sharon.
    I ~finished~ Zara’s (15) skort, hurrah!
    So excited about this as I stupidly drafted the pattern to her tiny waist (size 6) instead of her hips (size 10)!

    With some careful unpicking and removing some darts I j u s t got enough ease to make it work.

    If I had had enough of the lovely grey linen I think I would…[Read more]

    Oh yes! Congrats Heidi on your win!

    I bought some fabric to make the parachute pants and top for the baby today, along with something to make the playtime dress/ tunic with. I went looking for wool fabric to make the bistro dress for Imogen out of (it says lightweight wool right?) but of course I had no such luck!

    I had a late start and of…[Read more]

    Goodness, your conditions sound very similar to our area @sahmcolarado with our average rain about the same as yours (maybe a tad more). We usually have our “winter break” in May but 11mm isn’t a winter break at all! Now I know where all the rain has been falling.

    And as it happens, on my second no sew day, the coastal town where I shop…[Read more]

  • Well you’re not meant to cut off the extra, but five inches of extra?! That would threats to hang below the hem of the skirt!

  • Sarvi replied to the topic Invisible zipper in the forum oliver + s: fairy tale 10 years ago

    I never knew you were supposed to cut off the extra! Why? So it doesn’t feel lumpy?

  • Sarvi replied to the topic Parachute Polo Sew Along in the forum Group logo of Sew AlongsSew Alongs 10 years ago

    Heidi I think that would make the problem worse in this case, sounds like too little collar rather than too little neckline. I made the 5 in two very different fabrics (a stable interlock and a soft, floppy wool knit) and the firmer fabric was fine, the softer one had a ton of excess neckline. I put in a big box pleat at the back neck. It’s really…[Read more]
