Judging from what many authors (in general) say about preparing and writing their books (novels etc). It is one mammoth task. September seems so long away but it will be here before you know it. I mean it’s mid year already this year is a flying!

I am looking forward to this book. And thanks for the big hint there @todd😉 It must be very difficult…[Read more]

I can’t decide which is my size
Do I go by my waist or my thighs?
I could measure my head
Or my chest instead
Just so long as it has enough rise!

The season for sewing has changed

I can’t decide which is my size

You can think of the book that will be out in September as one gigantic, huge Oliver + S pattern. Or a large number of Oliver + S patterns.

But that’s all I’m saying for now….

😳 my message disappeared!!!

@cybele727 so glad you “found” the popover.

@motherof5 guess what?! I found some denim/wool blend!!! At my local Spotlight!!! I told the woman at the counter they won the fabric lotto. There were two kinds, one that had this plush look about it almost like corduroy but not and a gold/blue thing happening. The other…[Read more]

Why don’t you colour block and cut the 2 for the top and then make it wider, gradually, with a bit of trimming as you go?

@eboyd83 I have tried a few but my latest ones are from Cash’s name labels.

They have been the best, and if you contact them directly they will do a large bulk order.

Oh I love it Heidi! It is so comfortable that I confess to living in it a bit too much since it was made. It has the stains of life on it😜.

I am tossing up what to use to make another whilst struggling to type this and contain a climbing toddler at the same time. I have more kaufman laguna knit but I also want to make an Appleton top.

I know it…[Read more]

Yes, I am waiting patiently for it to be accepted😀 Thankyou😀

There is rumoured to be a new book
The cover, it has a good look
But I just can’t decide
If I step up or hide

@justsewit, you could always send her a friendship request. Once it is accepted you’ll be able to send a private message.

Thankyou @todd the latter is the answer. It is such a pity this had to change all for the sake of someone getting kicks out of stupid emails. But it is safety first and that is what matters.

Thanks again!

Yes, I think @justsewit might be right. It’s difficult to tell from the photos, but you might want to try a swayback adjustment. Or maybe you just need to take in the hips more? It sort of looks like if you pin the hips, especially at the back, to be a little tighter you’ll eliminate the drag lines. It definitely doesn’t need to be looser–overall…[Read more]

There could be a a couple things here.

The name and the @ tag are not always the same. If I would try to send a message to @Tamara it wouldn’t get through to you because that’s your display name. I would need to address it to @justsewit because that’s your username. Could that be it?

The second thing it could be is something new–so it wouldn’t…[Read more]

I finally made myself a concord t shirt! And I have almost finished sewing a jalie jeans jacket.

@todd could you please help? I am trying to send a message privately in reply to one sent to me but it won’t send! I have been making attempts to do this for the past five months! I have successfully replied to other messages sent to me.

So I am wondering, is it length? Or something else?

Thanks in advancd
