Jill, I did just this when I made my Evel Knievel jumpsuit, and I’m sure Jessica did the same with her Beat It jacket. Both are on the blog if you search for those key words.
To make it work I think you’ll need to take out the V though, as otherwise it would pull badly (and pucker at the bottom) when it’s closed. If you fill in the V part then you…[Read more] -

I really enjoyed your description @brenda1652. Our stock is far more at risk of dehydration and bush fires.

Frances Suzanne started the topic Easter Sewing in the forum
Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 10 years agoCan you believe Easter is a little over 2 months away?!?! Anyone have any plans to incorporate heirloom sewing and embroidery into their Easter sewing? And, if so…how?
-
Gosh, I can’t believe it’s coming up so soon! I’d love to include some embroidered details and maybe lace insertion — does that count as an heirloom technique?
-
Yes, it’s so early this year! The first step is to see if last year’s Easter Dress fits. I hope so, but she has recently gone through a growth spurt. It had lace and pintucks in the bodice and around the skirt.
-
Sarvi….ABSOLUTELY!! Both embroidery and lace insertions are heirloom {in our book}! Sounds like a great plan, Meleliza…start with what you’ve got, and go from there! As for us, we know what we WANT to do, but if it gets done is yet to be determined.

Liesl Gibson replied to the topic Facing against grain in the forum oliver + s: sleepover 10 years ago
In general, it’s fine to cut across the grain. The cross grain and length grain (weft and warp) are ALMOST interchangeable in many instances. Cross grain with have more stretch, and length grain is usually stronger and may drape a little better. But if you’re working with cotton and kids clothes, there really won’t be too much of a difference. Just FYI.
