Lightning McStitch

@lightningmcstitch as per instructions and with an overlocker. It is knit fabric fron spotlight – jersey it said- but it has like zero stretch and the neckband turned out rediculous! It went in the bin and I have vowed to look for stretchier stuff once I get to Perth. I also indulged and bought some fabric from girlcharlee (I know! Mad! given the…[Read more]

Yay😀 At least you finally are having some success! I discovered that doing a traditional fba doesn’t warrant for accommodating a larger than normal bicep so I need to redraft the front of the gallery tunic so the armscye can actually match the sleeve – i need two tops by tomorrow morning!

I am now about to embark on potentially ruining another pattern😖 Wish me luck!

Sarvi, of course you can! The more the merrier😀

I sometimes use tailor’s tacks and sometimes use tailor’s chalk. Depending on the fabric, they can both work.

I sense your frustration levels @withloveHeidi. I cut out two metro tshirts – one women’s size small and a men’s size xs. Started sewing the men’s xs in what I thought was knit fabric with 25% stretch – my foot😤😖 and what the HECK did I do to the neckline???? Oh how I do NOT LIKE SEWING WITH STRETCH FABRICS😭😡

Patterns need to be able to shape shift to fit me also! I don’t think I have ever used a pattern for myself that didn’t involve somesort of alteration – unless it was an accessory.

@lightningmcstitch she does! Modelled pics hopefully this week with of course her neon pink shoes! Thank goodness I went monochrome for this one but I hope to get another made in matching neon pink denim – it is the flavour of the moment 😜!

Alas I had no hands for much of today so tomorrow is going to be frantically busy!

We have a printer paper thief in our house and I stole it back to print out the men’s metro tshirt! Unfortunately I was found out and it was nabbed again! But thankfully the pattern is printed so I can (at last) put it together. But only when I have my hands free from picking up the baby who (sob) wants to stand up😕. It’s just going…[Read more]

There are some good seams to take it in by @vothgirl. A little from each would give you the best result.

@sarvi, I would love that!

I finished by husbands long waited Liberty shirt, I have only had the fabric for two years. 🙂

I have moved on to a trusty KwikSew polo top for him, in a vibrant green/pink stripe.
