When I venture in the scary world (for me) of bag making, I use the cheap stiff iron on interfacing.
Shiny on one side, a bit furry on the other.

We are off to a wedding and Tildy is a lat minute flower girl.
My sister knew she would be needed last night but she only asked this morning as she knew I would sit up all night sewing something 😉

I thought you chaps may have liked to see what has been eating my Jack Russell, Rupert, dog nuts https://www.flickr.com/photos/motherof5/15715731389/

I would be hesitant to add too much length, i think it may spoil the elegant line.
Hugo is wearing his dress waistcoat today (in 43 d heat)! and I notice it is quite high at the back and not long at the front.

It’s beautiful Becky. What lovely fabric.

I am not familiar with the Sulky so I can’t compare, but I believe this is the one I use for collars and cuffs — would that be about the weight you want?

Yep! That’s what I would do. Surely you would only need to add one more on?

Becky, I just lengthened the existing sleeves, tapering them a bit at the bottom since my daughter is very thin. Glad to be of service!

I hope you feel much better soon Heidi. I was not in a good way on Wednesday and spent the day lying down – the world was spinning way too fast amongst other things.

I spent the morning and part of after lunch cutting things out. I have two pairs of Layette pants and three layette shirts ready to go in the pile. I want to break out the bubble…[Read more]

Ok, I have finished the three bodysuits – well I have to hand stitch two necklines but they are pretty much done.

Next on the list is to cut out two pairs of Layette pants, a jacket and two more bubble dresses.

That along with the School days jacket should keep me occupied for about a week I should think.

With needle and thread in my hand
My plan is to sew something grand

On my fabric sits the cat
And there’s nothing wrong with that
She protects it, you see
‘Cept sometimes when she pees
I’d rather her sit on the mat.

If I’m mixing patterns I try to keep collars with their matching necklines and sleeves with their armholes.
So here’s how I’d do it…
Pick a collar from another pattern. Music Class, Jump Rope, Fairy Tale etc.
Trace the Apple Picking pattern with the modifications you want.
Lay your tracing over the bodice part of the pattern you’ve chosen the…[Read more]

I have not made the Apple Picking Dress but I did add a Peter Pan collar to the Family Reunion dress. I did not need to add any length to the collar to accommodate for thicker fabric, but there was some tricky math. I wrote a tutorial for the Oliver+S blog which you can find here:…[Read more]
