On my fabric sits the cat
And there’s nothing wrong with that
She protects it, you see

Was feeling a bit off today so I sat the kids in front of the TV and retreated to the basement. Finished the boy’s sleepsack (just in time, it got cold again tonight) and sewed him a new pair of LTTS mittens out of the remaining fleece. My sewjo may be coming back!
(BTW, my autocorrect tried to change “sewjo” to “sewage.”)

There once was a quilter named Lizzy
But quilting was making her dizzy
So she looked for a dress
She could sew to impress
But the prints she had all were too busyNext limerick:
My sewing machine’s on the fritz

Masha Richart replied to the topic What are you sewing now? in the forum off topic 10 years ago
Getting back into the sewing groove finally, though it’s hard to force myself down into the basement to do so (no windows there). I just finished up the birthday princess dress marathon. Sadly, I have really grown to despise sewing princess dresses.
I have had a Playtime dress cut out for older DD for ages but it sits, unseen. Got 90 percent…[Read more]

Masha Richart replied to the topic Sewing area in the forum off topic 10 years ago
Since we’ve moved, I’m in the basement (windowless, sob) too, Cybele. I find that I sew much less 🙁 Part of it is that I do have a great deal less time to sew than I used to, and part of it is that I hate being in a windowless space. I have grand plans to hang some tapestries on the walls and decorate the exposed beam ceiling with twinkle…[Read more]

Masha Richart replied to the topic Sewing a wedding dress….am I crazy? in the forum off topic 10 years ago
That dress (the cap-sleeve version) looks very much like my wedding dress! Which I bought on eBay, ha. I love that tip about the flannel sheet on the cutting mat – I am so doing that in the future.
Janice, I think you could absolutely do it if you and she decide that is what you want. How exciting! -

Masha Richart replied to the topic What forum enhancements would you like? in the forum about the forums 10 years ago
I am wondering what could be done to improve the search function? I just searched for the Fabric Scrooge thread using the forum search box – I typed it in several different ways, in quotation marks, without quotation marks, and it wouldn’t come up at all. I was able to find it easily by typing “Oliver+S fabric scrooge” into Google so it’s not…[Read more]

Masha Richart replied to the topic Fabric Scrooge's Reference in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 10 years ago
I had 21 inches of 56″ wide twill, out of which I was determined to make a pair of Field Trip cargos for my son. I managed to cut all the 18-24 month pieces out of that fabric except for the cargo pockets themselves (and the waistband facing which I would have used a lighter fabric for anyway). He’s 1 – I figure he doesn’t need the cargo pockets anyway.

Masha Richart replied to the topic Snaps in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 11 years ago
One more thing – if you buy the press you will later be able to put in metal snaps too – the pliers only work with resin.
mkhs, do you find the sew-in snaps stay put ok? My grandmother always used to use them on the close she sewed for us and they were durable – but whenever I’ve done them, they seem so loose! I must not be sewing them properly. -
Masha Richart replied to the topic Playdate in velvet? and other questions in the forum oliver + s: playdate 12 years ago
OK – another question because I am just finally somewhere where I can see a wide variety of fabrics in person. Velveteen is cotton velvet, right? I’m talking about a drapey stretch velvet that is polyester. I do prefer natural fabrics in general but as this is a special occasion dress I told myself I wouldn’t mind if she didn’t wear them for…[Read more]
