Gosh! I thought I was being clever making mine in the same print woven and knit but this takes the cake!

I just have a question, what sort of knit did you use?

I’ve just started my zebra dress. I’ll round up some other pics from Flickr/Pinterest and get an inspiration post up on the blog to get us started. Now, I challenge anyone to come with a monotone/September catchy title!

Here’s mine Sharon @mama_knowles

For so e reaso. The coffee dyed lace turned out slightly ombre! It is currently dipping in white vinegar ready to try again!

I have to lengthen the sleeves on this one, but my kids are tall for their age. When I made my son one without, it ended up being more of a 3/4 sleeve.

Lucky nieces and lucky you to have two to sew for!

You ladies start it, I’ll join in!

Agree with the above! Wear for a long time with leggings. My daughter’s nearly 6 and her size 4s still fit, they’re just too short to wear without something underneath.

Separate machines would mean being able to use the other if one of them needs repairs. Having a combo means having to replace the whole thing if it went dicky.

Progress is slow Fiona due to a multitude of things. Life always seems to get busier when I decide to do something like enter the local show!

I have cut the pieces and interfaced the parts to be pleated. I have chosen the design and have the threads ready to go. I have coffee dyed the lace edging but not the entredeux.

I’ve made one all in knit @mama_knowles it worked well. My collar topstitching wasn’t the neatest 🙂 but it’s ok.
It’s being worn right now and I’ll try and get it photographed today to go on my blog….

I haven’t made an all knit one yet, but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work. Just be careful that the collar and placket don’t stretch too much and distort.

I have a janome (but then all my machines are Janome). Unfortunately I don’t use it enough because of the size of my sewing table (it has to be squished up the back until I need it). There is a trick to getting the threads out so they don’t unravel but it is easy to master. I haven’t had an issue so far. This one you can do one two or three…[Read more]

A monochrome sew-a-long? What a great idea, I’d definitely be in!

High praise! Wow! Your mum sounds as critical as mine – my mum thinks she can buy clothes for my kids and I won’t mind! I see that as highly insulting!
