I think I might nearly be up to a muslin 🙂 In some ways the pattern no longer looks like the original, but I have a much better idea why most RTW and sewn straight from the pattern pants pretty much never fit!
It’s been about 4 hours work so far just on flat pattern adjustment and probably another hour or so before it’s ready for the muslin…[Read more]

Thanks Nicole! I have a 50cm/20″ one which has been fantastic but not quite long enough for my crotch curve 🙁 I Know postage within Australia is shockingly expensive!

I made myself a faux wrap top yesterday! I modified the penny pinafore and it worked beautifully 🙂
Todsy I’m trying to get shorts to fit, I hope I can find where to buy a long flexible curve ruler locally as I think it will make the process much easier 🙂

No, no voting. It has designated judges. Hence the small panic and dress deconstruction/reconstruction. But I sat down yesterday, and whirred at the machine, and I’m much happier. Fine tooth comb and all.

Well if it is a muslin and not a final product, I don’t think it will matter too much. After all the point of the muslin is to get the sizing/fit right anyway.

You know her growth pattern best. Is she due for a spurt, is she a little weed in the sunshine, is she a slow and steady grower, did she just have a spurt and due to have a “resting”…[Read more]

Thanks Rhythm,you make those fabrics sound fabulous! I wish I was going with him but it’s a work trip. I’ll just have to give him detailed instructions!

How exciting Jenni! Do we get to vote 🙂
I haven’t done much sewing at all in the last 2 weeks between, visitors, illness, camping and going back to work, but today is my first day off with nothing else to do. I can’t even do the shopping as my husband has the car 🙂 So I’m going to sew, probably for me!

I’m doing what every crazy person does: I found out I’m one of 5 finalists in a nationwide sewing contest on Tuesday (had to submit 1-3 pictures of garment and a paragraph about said garment, and using a pattern from a provided selection) and so I promptly took my project almost completely apart and am obsessively and painstakingly putting it back…[Read more]

I’m so glad you like them! You’ll have plenty of time to sew for Easter, @justsewit. They are on their way from the printer as I type! We should have time in stock shortly.

Congrats on the power back and the all clear @justsewit!

I took an introductory screen printing class yesterday at a workshop in town. I paid a (very modest) fee for the class and now I have full access to the workshop for a year to make as many screens and print as much as I like. I can even bring the kids there and let them help if I feel like…[Read more]
