Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 9 years agoI made a baptism gown that Audrey and Josephine wore, but unfortunately it is a 3 month size, and Dorothy is not going to be baptised until visit Australia in September. She’s already about to grow out of the one her sisters wore (I’m thinking of taking photos in the next week, just so she has at least worn…[Read more]

Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 9 years agoI was all prepared to be amazed by this picture but I for some reason cannot see it!😕 I am sure you did a superb job nonetheless. My daughter’s confirmation isn’t until November next year so I guess it is my turn to look about. We don’t do veils though and I am guessing there will be specifications as to how much of the “more” we are allowed – I…[Read more]

Sewing for Yourself 9 years agoYeah, it’s difficult to write a pattern that includes instructions for people with and without a serger. I guess the good news is that you can always draw in a smaller seam allowance if you know you’re going to use the serger/overlock/etc. I’m glad you like the result!

Sewing for Yourself 9 years agoJust finished View C for B6295 last night – it’s only my 2nd sew for myself. I like the pants, a lot, but oof. I’m guessing that since this is one of the Butterick patterns, there isn’t a lot of flexibility on things like seam allowance size and where it’s added, but I got SO FRUSTRATED every time I had to cut off the entire (gigantic!!) seam…[Read more]

Am making a muslin for the Gallery tunic. After completing the full bust adjustment, am having difficulty with the sleeves pulling in the front and buckling in the back. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Have just finished first pair of shortie PJ’s with your Butterick pattern. What type of interfacing do you recommend? Knit, lightweight woven, or lightweight nonwoven? I used Shape Flex and it seems a little stiff.
