I soent all day yesterday putting together three pdf patterns. Two were Liesl and co and took five minutes but the other…. it was a little confusing because the numbered sheets were mot in order when they were printed out.

Anyway, today I managed to get as far as tracing this Comino cap dress by Kitschy coo in a size 3 for my eldest daughter. I…[Read more]

@liesl that is very exciting news! I will definitely be ordering this when it released then as my daughter requires one for school – so the umbrella will have to do for the time being.

The Larger size Sketchbook shirt+shorts in paper

You are right, you do know the answer.
It won’t go over her head.

I have topstitched that seam in a #4 stitch length and then had it be too firm.

Sorry to confirm what you knew.

A Blazer is still top on my wish list and has been for years. A Moto jacket would be awesome though.

Liesl, would it be possible to do a rainjacket pattern for grownups please? I am finding it very difficult to find one.

Finished! One Butterfly top with flutter sleeves.

I need to clean up the sewing room as we have guests (again) so this is the job for the rest of the day. Then I will finish the other butterfly top and the hude and seek tunic before turning my attention (finally) to something for Imogen.

A good recommendation for velcro placement.

I managed to sew on the sleeve facings this morning and also the buttons on the sailboat pants. Chloë wore her chevron playtime tunic and sailboat skirt to town shopping but got soaked with her attempts to drink water from the sippy cup. So of course I had the hopscotch top and sailboat pants ready to go. Both sets of clothes are now filthy and…[Read more]

They both sound awesome @dubhels2003. I have decided to wait to make the swingset skirt for a little while until the toddler is really toddler-ing😜. The swingset top though is on the the to do list as it is going to get fiery again up here. We are enjoying three cool (for us) days and the sewing machines are still taking up the dining table. I…[Read more]

I have just cut two swingset skirts. The pattern wasn’t near the top of the pile for me to make, but I have been asked for a twirly skirt, and it pretty much fits the bill! I’ve cut one in a black fleck fabric which I might do some folk style embroidery around the bottom of, and one liberty lawn one. Tomorrow night needs to be about the sewing…[Read more]

Thanks for the tips, folks, I’m mulling it all over.

All I can say is enjoy the long sewing stints Heidi. It will be a fair while before I can indulge in all day sewing again.

Today thought, I managed to work on the playtime dress I had cut out in a piece of pink and white chevron knit left over from the playtime dress I made Imogen when the pattern was newly released. She still wears hers but it…[Read more]
