Oh that looks like a lovely pattern Liesl! Looks as though it will provide a decent amount of coverage and hopefully won’t ride up (there is nothing worse than panties that creep up).

Is the fabric plain or patterned? Can you add add a small front strip panel, just a cm or so, to join the front pieces?

Or can you sew the selvedges together?

Oh dear Heidi, I do feel for you.

By the way, cruise through these beautiful dresses. https://www.flickr.com/search/?w=694451%40N21&m=pool&q=jump%20rope

Hi @willknitformath I would think you have safely got enough fabric for the size 3T depending on how much length you add.

There was a gorgeous multi fabric Jumprope made a few years back, I will see if I can find it in the pool.

For me, I would consider a white collar and placket to complement the different fabrics.
It will eliminate pattern…[Read more]

The briars are for Imogen @WithloveHeidi. I do not foresee ever fitting into this size range again, or at least not for the foreseeable future. The neck seems to be very big for some reason and they look really long, even though I didn’t cut the cropped version to check for length. I will send it down to her to try on with the other Tania culottes…[Read more]

I feel a bit lonely, talking to myself….

I have a small pile of white based things I am working through today. Being the first chance of actually getting to the machine in weeks – this is most unusual!

@magonomics did it work out well? I was having a look at the latest buterfly top and noticed I accidentally puckered it while sewing the facing down. I usually like to hamdstitch the facing. It seems to have a much better result for some reason.

The only underwear I’ve made are those that go inside swim shorts. Courtesy of Jalie who I think have exceptional swimwear patterns (but then I haven’t tried others so…) i would think their underwear patterns would be very straight forward.

Oh good! May you show us?

I completely understand and agree with you there Susan! I just love to see my kids wear what I make and I am very grateful for the knowledge that has been presented to us and how sewing is coming to the forefront again. It is very therapeutic! My daughter has even requested to take her machine back to boarding with her for next term, she misses it…[Read more]

To achieve that, I would cut the exact same size again, but sew the side/sleeve seam with a bigger seam allowance.
An extra 1/4″ seam allowance will take 1/2 an inch off the sleeve circumference and a full inch off the chest/body.
Saves on retracing the pattern in another size.

@madtownmama it sounds like you did everything according to plan. I had fitting issues with the nature walk pants for my two older children. I did exactly like what you did, chose the right kind of fabric and made according to the measurements and pattern etc. They just didn’t turn out the way I had expected.

The parachute pants, I made for the…[Read more]

Oh wait…. i just found it😀😀😀💕

@cybele, I’m confused! I got onto imstagram when the first message was mentioned but couldn’t find anything remotely close to a new pattern preview, or promo video for that matter. Would love to see and join in the excitement but I feel sad that I missed it😕
