Also, what do I do about the 3rd notch that’s in the illustrations…[Read more]

I stitched the first line as liesl suggested and then did one row above and one below

One gorgeous (if I do say so myself) hot pink linen Garden Party piped with neon orange (from the awesome Britters) sewn and ready to be posted to the US of A.
A sewing swop with Cindy the swimsuit queen, who made Tilly a swimsuit from scratch. She even designed the pattern.

I making a fleece version soon. I know when I sewed if in wool, grading and clipping seams helped the finish
I think I will swop the front facing placket for cotton webbing too

How about the Art Museum trousers, with a shiny stripe down the side, and an oversized Sketchbook shirt with the stand collar option and lots of length added, then add on the bits of gold trim. In the right fabric it might read like a coat?

The Fairytale would make lovely princess dresses for the older girls.

I am keen to make the polo top too. Liddy needs a new PE kit and I want to try the feminine version in a cotton/spandex knit.
I have made a lot of polo tops, I stopped counting in my head when I reached 40 (most of them pale blue) I am super interested to make this one up.
I am sure it will be excellent.

I got my Garden Party PDF glued together, 25 minutes, start to finish.
