Doing a little bit more on the denim quilt and sorting all the fabric/scraps my friend gave me. It’s interesting sorting someone else’s fabric cast offs. Lots of red and green and no purple 🙂

Thank you!

Welcome aboard! O+S patterns are definitely an addiction. What does your username mean? I thought it might have been one of the nine muses but I don’t recall there being a muse of cute sewing 🙂

I think it’s ok to link to public photos, we do that in the thread for pointing out great sewing we’ve recently seen. What a completely sweet little detail! Maggie always has the best ideas.

Haha Stupid stuff part two… Making a butterfly skirt.

Sewing in the am, as opposed to the evening. Thinking I wish I could sew during the day because I make less mistakes because I am not tired.

Using this LOVELY black dotted Kaufmann rayon cotton blend chambray. Frays often. So I decide to do french seams.

Would have helped if I put…[Read more]

I am not sure the protocol on linking other’s Flickr photos, so admin can remove if it isn’t okay. She gives a description here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/magonomics/15347834474/in/photolist-7uM4MS-fPh3gD-fF7ccm-pamHD9-fKGzXQ-t3o9z5-poeEtL

That’s really interesting to know, Sarvi – you are very inventive with fabric combinations.

I plan to finish off the winged badminton skirt, just needs wrist straps and ribbon ties. Add A tag to a dress and do the buttons and buttonholes on the trench coat. And go through the bags of fabric from my friend 🙂

Ah, I have sewn for a Bay Area winter baby before! I made the pants in flannel, lined with double gauze and the other way around, gauze lined with flannel, worked out to be quite comparable to pinwale cord in weight. The mama reported they were a great weight for the weather there, should you find yourself fabric shopping for another set down the road.

Will join soon! Thanks for starting it!

Welcome aboard! Looking forward to seeing your photos. Many of us are at a similar stage of moving up to sewing grown up clothes. Please do share any tips you think of, they’re most welcome!

Ok, great to know — the very first set of patterns were a little bit different in how some of the info was presented, compared to the protocol used now, and I suspect that a box I’m seeing on my pattern sheet that has some numbers in it like 30201, 1/1 – 1/2 REV may be the older way that versions were noted, but I don’t know how to interpret…[Read more]

Good reminder to everyone who uses digital patterns. Ours are made with Adobe Acrobat and are guaranteed to work when you view and print them with Adobe Reader. If you use a different PDF viewer, the chances are good that the file will not print perfectly.

Lucky you, Heidi!! 11 hours-that’s quite a marathon. Hope you had plenty of cuppas to keep you going. I know the Cotton and Steel fabric you mentioned and it should make some lovely stuff. Just finished 3 quilts myself in the last week. All were half completed, and it had become embarrassing that I hadn’t delivered them so a week’s hard work, and…[Read more]
