I’ve been looking for notchers like that but have found them hard to locate.

If O+S were to carry them I would pick up a pair in no time!

Bees at a spelling bee sounds so cute!
I’ve traced off Jalie 3244, footie pj’s, and a hood from Ottobre. I’m making it in red and black coral fleece, super cozy 🙂

Cybele, I first discivered notching tools while following Grainline Studios make a long for the Archer shirt. Here is the page she discussed the notching tool….scroll down just a bit.

The two pieces of interfacing are for the crotch snap placket on the bodysuit only, not for the neck placket. I haven’t looked at the errata to see if/how the directions were edited to fix the confusion, but that’s what it’s intended for – those snaps see a lot more wear & tear due to diaper changes, crawling, etc and need to be reinforced.

How does that notcher work, I wonder. But I’d use it. I hate notch cutting.

Nice glass head pins. If you’ve ever melted the plastic heads on your fabric when ironing, you quickly learn the value of glass head.

I once bought Dritz glass head pins with white heads. I was using them in a class and was told never to buy them because they were…[Read more]

I did not know such a thing existed … and I now desperately want one!

Does anyone else have the Village Frock pattern they would be willing to sell? Thanks,Linda

Really nice shears, needles, and pins, maybe a really nice thread for hand sewing delicate items? I’d be interested in something nice that I can’t get at JoAnn — not a consumable staple but something upgraded.

And completely frivoulous, but I really want a buttonhole chisel! LOL

I’m having this issue right now! I usually scale up. Only because I know we will wear it eventually! This said, I haven’t made many of the pants yet! Only shorts!

I have the feeling Maria is teeny like Tildy! I think the ones I know are a tight fit over the head, I’m sizing up to 5’s. I’m still debating on the Family Reunion–4 or 5 LOL.…[Read more]

I would love to see some good quality sewing needles. I do like a bit of hand sewing (and soon to venture into the hand quilting world!). Also, glass head pins!

Here is one without the elastic.

I have one I inherited from my Grandma and I’ve only ever used it for heavy oaktag, so I’m sure it wouldn’t be effective on fabric by now. But I hadn’t ever considered using one on fabric until now. Nicole, please do show us what you use! Is it something you’d like to see us carry? I’m very curious.

And while we’re talking about tools, is there…[Read more]

Can you show me pics of the ones you use??

How about the Roller Skate dress? Eliminate the elastic waist; it may work for you.

Glad you got it Nicole! I was such a slacker taking so long to send it off.
