My sewing machine’s gathering dust …
My scissors have started to rust …
The pins,they are lonely
I would use them, if only…

I tend to shop by feel and drape so I am not much help with names…

May I say, if anyone makes you feel bad, they are the jerks, not you!

You ask your questions, only a stupid person stops learning.

Shirts with two piece collars and cuff plackets are always on my radar.
I would love your instructions for these.

Cargo shorts, something like the Field Trip with no waist band/elastic back casing would be great as work/casual wear.

We love our food @lisamm Thank you for the suggestion. My Biggies were ‘Smash’ fans so when we saw the exhibition flyer, we booked extra days accommodation so we could see it.

This denim it just will not stretch
When I wear it I feel I must retch
So tight ’round my guts
I have back and front butts…

@lisamm We have booked tickets, I am glad to hear this!
Thank you.

The season for sewing has changed
My skirts and I are estranged
But my jackets and coats
Are garnering votes
Time for clothing, to be, exchanged.

I just want to sit down and sew!

I finished my turn on the #sewingrota on a high with some gorgeous back jeans for me!
Three pairs of jeans, a denim shirt and four tee’s were a much needed injection of clothing in my wardrobe.

Now I am on to formal sewing, Zara’s first. Some gorgeous Gatsby inspired sequinned tulle.

Watch your sleeve cap, it may need a little pinched from it, it is easy to do after sewing.
I ave found (with a longer tee/tee dress) you can get some odd things happen at the shoulder due to the extra weight of the extra fabric.

Hello @cammipatterson, I am so glad you have joined!

Liesl’s patterns are just so good, you will learn a lot and be so pleased with your results.

Try this @kirstylilian

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?

I can’t decide which is my size
Do I go by my waist or my thighs?

@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.

What did I do with my thread?
It’s normally kept by the bed
‘Cuz I stitch in my sleep
Embroidering sheep
Non-mulesed and organically fed.

(do not google mule-sing)

There is rumoured to be a new book.

@thesimpson5 I am pretty new to this fitting business but I find if my seams are on the outside they are easier to adjust.
