I went to my local and there was no discount apparent, no sale signage — maybe it varies by location?

How did you ladies get this fixed? My sister picked up a Lisette pattern for me in Joann at California at 11.99 yesterday!

My sister had the same issue with the Lisette patterns (which clearly say “Butterick” on the envelopes!) ringing up as McCalls during the 3/$5 sale a couple weeks ago – except that the store manager wouldn’t honor the terms of the sale and let her have them at the sale price. It took a call to the central customer service center to get it somewhat…[Read more]

Do you ever look at the clock, and it’s Friday at 3:30, and you still need to make dinner etc., and think to yourself that it’d be a fine and sensible idea to trace and start cutting out three new things with the idea that they’d be worn Sunday afternoon? Yeah, that’s not the greatest idea.

Working on the hide and seek pattern, this is one seriously cute dress! Combination of fabric; patterned courduroy, plain velveteen and added hood with ears, and another fantastic Oliver and S pattern. Can’t wait til it’s finished 🙂

I just finished hacking together the Penny pinafore with all my fitting changes with the Swoon Neck Scarf Cardigan. hopefully this will give me a much better fit through the shoulders and arms in my other stretch lace.
Now back to work on the hide and seek 🙂

OOH this is funny! OMG 50F, and we would be wearing shorts, but that is what happens when you literally have the coldest February on record. The other day we broke 32 for the first time in more than 30 days. Kids outside without hats and gloves like it was a party!

As for the dressing… 50-60F may be cool to mcholley1, but there can be a…[Read more]

Happy birthday to Tilly.
I was sewing Playdate yesterday too, but mine was a more mundane production line of five pair of leggings.
Heidi I love the sound of a zip up Hide and Seek hoodie dress. Awesome! I’d pass on the cheetah print and ears myself but then I’m not eight! It’s a fabulous idea though and i look forward to seeing it.

I’ve traced and cut the pattern for a size 8 hide and seek dress. I’m planning on adding the hood from the school days Coat and a zipper in the front yoke for ease of dressing. I’m also going to add ears to the hood as the fabric is a pinwale courduroy with a small cheetah print for a girl who loves big cats 🙂

Perhaps you need an awesome trench coat in a fresh spring-like colour and put any old thing underneath cause you won’t be taking it off. With a fullish skirt (like the Secret Agent view B) a trench is sort of a dress anyway.
