Pinwale corduroy or even denim (for baby jeans) would be perfect!

What a wonderful event to be looking forward to and to sew for! Congratulations!

If any of the seams give you grief try ironing a small scrap of interfacing to stabilise the seam before sewing.

Good luck, they sound very groovy.

A very soft pinwale would be lovely. The pants fit for a long time too.

Congratulations Nancy, I am so excited for you.

I had my last lot made by Cash’s name labels. I think they are international, try Googling them.

Absolutely gorgeous, individually cut and iron-on-able.

@enbee are you in Australia or overseas? I found a place the otherday as I am looking to change mine (they aren’t fabric) and I found a place called labelsandribbon.com.au. They look rather good.

I find this a good fit, not sloppy, for the size chart given. It is my skinny, broad shouldered 11 year old’s shirt de jour.

I do add some length, maybe 3 inches? You can always shorten it.

Hope that helps.

Sounds extremely exotic! I actually might make some for our speedy trip south in a couple of weeks – even though it was only 14 degrees here today it is much colder south so they may be handy.

I will pay some attention to a shorts pattern tomorrow in order to make six pairs for this camp!

Today was perfect sewing weather – 47mm and still raining woohoo!

Ha! I googled snood tutorials for you @lightningmcstitch and it came up with Hijabs?! But I did find this http://momsbestnetwork.com/diy-infinity-or-circle-scarf-tutorial-aka-the-snood/. I hope this is helpful and you can make lots.

Thanks to all of you who were interested and offered to help.

I wanted to give an update that we’ve got the samples assigned out now, so we don’t need any more offers of assistance. But it was nice to hear from so many people who were willing to help! We appreciate it.

I have swopped to glue sticks, far more durable.

You could swop the side that you button on but my girls happily wear Hugo’s hand-me-downs.
Lidia is wearing them now, that is the third child to have them.

Unrelated to fabric, but completely related to Melbourne….

We have just had a new restaurant open a couple blocks from home here in New York. It’s called Babu Ji, and it’s an outpost of the original Babu Ji in St. Kilda. Same menu and everything. I guess the Singhs have moved to our neighborhood and opened a place here.
