I just found this via instagram http://www.stitchingupparis.com How awesome would a guided shopping tour of the out of the way fabric stores of Paris be?! Possibly too late for @mariasasse but maybe of use here as a reference.

I have Simplicity 1506 and 2741 but haven’t tried them as yet. One of them is for blokes on the heftier side and it also has boys sizes.

I spent a couple of hours making a teeny tiny music class skirt in mulberry drill. The 6-12 month size looks huge against the 0-3 sized garments but its still jolly tiny.

I just need to add elastic and photograph.

But in the meantime, I am on to the next…..

I have just whipped up the tiniest music class skirt! Its so cute!

I just bought some for full price but more locally. I figured it would save because of exchange rates but I wish I could have gone personally to get it and then would have saved the postage too.

@dubhels2003, do you have a link?
I wonder if it is the place mine comes from. I buy ‘seconds’ for the children’s sewing and the flaws are negligible.

Thank you!

My pleasure @Cheri, I look forward to your beautiful creation.

Plush Addict, a UK based online fabric store is selling some tana lawns, which are Liberty Lawns but are not the ‘A’ grade rolls sold in store at £15 per metre-ish. A great deal if you are not put off by any slight flaws. With a busy pattern they probably wouldn’t be noticeable. It is all above board/legal and is not ‘knock off’ fabric (I have asked!).

Do I make first the polo or pants?
Do I make it using apples or ants?
Perhaps I should choose

I love the Seashore Sundress pattern – can’t wait to see yours, Harmony!

I have been tossing through the stash for various reasons, and all of a sudden I am consumed with the desire to sew it all up! I’ve been doing a lot of knits lately. Yesterday I sewed myself a pair of knit pajama pants (all I want to wear these days) using an…[Read more]
