Gals, any tips for marking wool? I’m off to google tailor’s tacks in the meanwhile.

Thanks @ann-maree for the great tip, I visited yesterday and there was a sale, too, got some wonderful fabrics at great prices!

I wish no alterations! I think that’s why I sew sew many children’s clothes. Minimal to no alterations 🙂

I’ll bet she looks great in that skirt Tamara.

Last night I made the Lisette 6182 top in z rayon challis and I’ve worn it all day today and love it. I’m also appreciating my lack of boobage. No bust, no alterations, no muslin, just sew! I’ll make the skirt next and then get some pictures.

I’ve been working on hopscotch dresses. The dog has a death wish. He stole the pattern off my sewing desk, ripped open the envelope and ate a hole in the pattern. Death wish dog.

He’s trying to be sad and apologize. It isn’t working.

I’m on to at least my 6th muslin of my bathers top! The band fits well, one side is good and I think the other side is nearly there. It has been a very long frustrating process.

It’s like grown up Sunday Brunch! I can see why you’d want another. No help with a pattern sorry, but I’ll bet there’s one out there that’s similar enough.
Good luck

Liesl’s FBA instructions are top notch. I was leery of trying it when I first started sewing for myself, but I shouldn’t have been.

I would think so, but I’m not an expert fitter — @motherof5?

Ooh, great tip! That’s close to me, will be paying a visit.

@lightningmcstitch yes I do have a pic! @hazel I’ll attach it below. Liesl’s instructions made it so very easy!

I’m actually in the position of needing to alter that lovely eggplant chambray cinema dress I made because it is too loose, what would be the easiest way to size it down? Just pinch in at the sides?

I thought I had step by step photos of this, but can’t seem to find them. I think Patricia (whose screen name I’ve forgotten, sorry!) has a pic of the Cinema side panel pattern piece, where the adjustment happens, slashed and spread.
