After reading my own post, I would just baste and neaten the dress and lining together and then add the yoke, as per usual.

I have a blog post here Janice http://www.pinterest.com/pin/73676143878325815/
I adore this dress pattern.

That was a huge job, well done!

Which way are you pressing the dart?

Snow sounds so exciting to me, but I gather the mud that comes with it is not so beautiful.

Stay safe Melanie!

The only time I got caught out cutting against the grain was with a silk Birthday Party dress.
I cut the ties, one side with the grain one side against, and the against side stretched a bit.

Handle it carefully and it should be fine

I have only recently discovered kale and I love it!

Served with eggs and bacon sounds very tasty.

Thank you Lotta, it will be exciting if anything comes of it.
Yes, Australia Day today and back to school tomorrow for the Fab Five.
I am very sad to see them go.

@jay 1965vw, I will do some research for you, re my Juki.

I am so excited. I may need to buy some licence labels!

When I was in hospital, last week, Trixie was ‘baby-napped’by the nurses and they loved her clothes. Jed (my husband) is very proud of my sewing and he unpacked and showed off her School Days coat, her Tea Party dress, her Hopscotch…[Read more]

Really? That makes me so happy, thank you!
PS (I love your name, I wanted a Mimi)

@NCMimi, great idea.
I found we had to have a ‘system’ to get the Jumprope dress on my little girl, she had a big head.
She soon learned the ‘procedure’ 🙂

I love your dress.

I saw this advertised on Foxtel whilst I was in hospital. It looks fantastic, I wish we could get it. 🙁

I wonder if she found the shoulder fit a wee bit snug…..

I made this for my daughter and, as per usual, sized back and added length. It was a bit of a tug around the shoulders but fine once on.

Perhaps try a knit or a cotton poplin with some stretch?

Really @Sarvi, that is so exciting, thank you!

I *finally* posted it off to its new owner.

My son passed his driving test, so excited for him!

Thanks @Justsewit, I am sure all will be fine.

🙂 That would be a trial run, not a trail run, dear oh dear…

If it was any other fabric, I would say, ‘Go for it’. I know your time is super precious, but so is Liberty. 😉
