I’m sure it would be divine.
I would work out how many and approximately how deep I wanted the pleats to be, then calculate the skirt width from that to check against the original skirt and see if the “fullness” is similar.
More maths but quite fun I you’re into it. Or you can play with basting as Nicole said.
There will be a blog post soon about…[Read more]

I say yes!
Perhaps baste the pleats and have a play , see how well they sit?

Welcome aboard!

Oh how fun, what will you be sewing?

That’s a great tip, thank you!

I went to my local and there was no discount apparent, no sale signage — maybe it varies by location?

Do you ever look at the clock, and it’s Friday at 3:30, and you still need to make dinner etc., and think to yourself that it’d be a fine and sensible idea to trace and start cutting out three new things with the idea that they’d be worn Sunday afternoon? Yeah, that’s not the greatest idea.

Welcome Enbee, I am glad you have de-lurked!
When I get my new MacBook we must have a natter 🙂

Happy birthday to Tilly.
I was sewing Playdate yesterday too, but mine was a more mundane production line of five pair of leggings.
Heidi I love the sound of a zip up Hide and Seek hoodie dress. Awesome! I’d pass on the cheetah print and ears myself but then I’m not eight! It’s a fabulous idea though and i look forward to seeing it.
