I’m guessing you might have already come up with something, but I think an obi/kimono-style belt would be adorable with the culottes.

I’ve noticed that the fabrics I gravitate towards while shopping for blouses or dresses for myself tend to be polyester, silk, and I think rayon– al fabrics that I typically avoid sewing with. And when I see the construction I think, I could make that, if…[Read more]

I think it’s best done slowly.

Not sure if that helps you?

I’m glad I asked. Although my seam ripper and I know each other too well, I think I’ll go the hand stitch route. Shouldn’t take too long, and it’ll make a tv program seem productive.

I think in this case a voile or batiste might work better. I live in Costa Rica and I’ve done away with all my tights. 🙂

Thank you so much!

I think I might prefer it with a lining.

Is it possible to add one after I’ve already made the skirt? Has anyone done something so nutty before?

And, what fabric would you recommend? The skirt is made of a linen that is dark brown with a thin black…[Read more]

There were fabric houses up and down our street. Although I think most wee only open to wholesales, it might be possible to find a few to sell to an individual. I was drooling at the windows. There are many other fabric art boutiques in the…[Read more]

I’m going to do the hinge thing at between the two notches, which I think will give more room in the seat, while keeping everything else working.

I’ll post them on Flickr when I get them done.
Thanks for all your help!

That is a helpful and well-diagrammed tutorial.

So, the after school pants have separate pattern pieces for the back, front and side panels. I am thinking it might simply be a matter of increasing the back inseam. I’m not sure how to tell if I should increase from the top, middle or crotch. Or maybe it won’t make that much…[Read more]

My daughter is 10, but tall and with a booty. How do I give her seat more room for the next pair I make?

The last pair I made a size 12, hoping that would cover it, pardon the pun, but when she was playing with the dog on the floor she looked…[Read more]

I quite appreciate being able to bounce ideas off someone who knows something about sewing and thinking out loud is mostly what I’m doing— until I cut!

And specifically to make the opening of the neck larger.

My daughter wore the size 6 until she was 9, but now she’s got broad shoulders! How did that happen so fast??!

Are you suggesting adding to the the back at the center seam AND from the shoulder- hem?

I will go use my visualizing powers on opening the front…[Read more]
