I’d love to do the Bubble dress, Sarvi – it was my first ever O+S in the smallest size, and I can’t quite believe it’s already time to make the 5T.

Hi Reeni! I’m so sorry, I got busy and dropped the ball on this one. Thanks for the reminder. An upsized Puppet Show absolutely counts! Where in our sewing lists are we all at the moment? What would be the best way to organize it?
How does this sound — since there’s a lot of interest in the Puppet Show, would some like to host a sew-along for…[Read more]

I made one with the back cut on the fold. I also traced the neckline from a tshirt pattern (MIP Basic Tee).

Ha ha! I read the question title and was thinking “I vaguely recall making some comparison between those….”
I think the bedtime story do use less fabric for the size. They’re perhaps my favourite of the two pants.

I think your best bet would be to trace your pieces off with the extra length and lay them out to determine how much of each. And remember to add just a little as knits will shrink. Good luck!

Unfortunately, I don’t have any family in Australia! But thank you for thinking of me :). I know I’ll be able to find something very nice, I just like to check out what other people recommend when I’m looking at a type of fabric I haven’t worked with before. I’m looking forward to seeing what Hugo’s coat turns out like :-).

Nicole,
Excellent! Depending on our individual timing, I’ll either be picking your brain or sewing along with you! I just ordered some swatches from Mood of different black wool coatings. I looked online for some of the Moda wool that Janice mentioned in her schooldays coat sewalong post today, but as far as I could find out, she’s the only one…[Read more]

Gah, that’s so cute! Good eye, Nicole.

I drove to town all by my lonesome last night after dinner and took a stroll in the cemetery to look at the All Hallows Day lights. Since we’ve done our daylight saving it gets dark around 5:30 pm and I was there around that time. The entire cemetery was filled with little twinkling lights and in one area there were what could only be described as…[Read more]

Shelley, I was so impressed with that hat! I’m glad it turned out so well after all the work you put into it.

Vothgirl I’m sure you’ll love the pattern and your husband will love his coat.
Nicole, I’ll play along and blow my own horn (although I think you saw the Flickr pics). I made a straw hat! Surprised myself too

Thanks for the heads up on the Jupland! I’ve been wanting a cargo pattern for a boy who has outgrown Oliver and S. These look fantastic!

Tamara, the Jutland pants are BRAND new! Just posted a couple days ago…and on sale thru November 5! ;-). I think I’ll end up getting it and sewing it up later.
