Lightning McStitch

I’m working on 2 blouses for myself right now. One is a modern Simplicity that is very similar to a favorite peplum blouse of mine from Anthropology in a vintage wienie dog knit, the 2nd is a vintage McCall’s summer blouse in a green sateen cotton with tiny white polka dots. Of course, I went to JoAnn’s yesterday and snatched up a hot new Vogue…[Read more]

Thanks so much, Sarvi 🙂

I have two cut and a third in the wings! I think I am addicted!

Sorry, I thought I was in the Apple Picking Dress forum. Thank you!

Aw, that’s so nice to hear! Thanks!

I have completed the playdate dress and am now handkering to make more! It is so cute!

@liesl I loved it and the Jumprope is my favourite pattern out of all my sewing patterns, not just O+S.

I have finished my daughter, Elsa, turn on my #sewingrota http://fiveandcounting-motherof5.blogspot.com.au/2016/03/elsa-round-up.html and now I am onto Zara, her twin.

Today I started a knit jacket with welt pockets. The instructions were very scant so I pulled out my Art Museum pattern.

Totally agreed, Tamara! I’ll let you know how it goes.

@madtownmama congratulations Susan! I say go ahead and make the smallest size now because no matter how big she is, she will fit it well for a good while. My baby was 8lb 10oz at birth and she fit her 0-3 bubble and tops and pants for a good three months, which is always nice to know it will get good…[Read more]
