Most schools in Ontario (Canada) go back after Labour Day on September 6th.

We call the Labour Day long weekend, “Bad Furniture Weekend” because that’s when the highways are full of parents driving their kids off to college towing some fairly horrid looking furniture for residence.

Out curiosity, when does school start in your neighborhood? I think some schools have started already, yes?

Thanks Todd, I actually was like… I wonder if they’ve already done this to newer patterns? Haha. I don’t mind and was thinking prospectively anyways.

What a good idea, H.

That’s great news, T. So pleased for you and family. Chloe will love the extra attention.

The pattern was rated “advanced”
The truth of it may be enhanced
The instructions were vague

I’m not sure it’s intended for me.
But I’ll dress as a fish
And I’ll come if I wish

Hi Kristen, I would be concerned about the sleeves. They are fairly narrow on this top. The combo that Audrey did looks great and would be a good sleeve solution.

@purplevann1 if you really only want to hem t-shirts then my suggestion is to get familiar with a twin needle and woolly nylon. It will be almost free compared to coverstitch, dead easy to change thread colour and saves having to store another machine.
Or buy yourself something shiny 🙂

What about the sailboat pants connected to the front and back centre panels of the seashore sundresss?

Made many pants, Joslyn but not overalls; although lately I have been thinking about adding front/straps to the Sandbox pants. This is one of my favourite pants patterns c/o O + S. Roomy and stylish.

Thank you Sarvi for the link about armholes/sleeves. Great site to visit, and I especially like the writer’s “cardboard models”.

My suggestion for a LHOP dress is the apple picking frock, and/or the Music Box Pinafore combined with the Music Class Blouse. You could also take the Music Class Blouse, and add a skirt to it (something I’ve been…[Read more]

@cybele727 Yes, that’s a good suggestion. It’s one that was made by many people at the end of 2014 when we did our customer survey. We’re including a printing guide like this on all of our newer PDF patterns now. But we haven’t gone back to add it to the older patterns.

I know, that doesn’t help you now, but it may in the future…..

Todd,

I have a suggestion for PDFs in the future. Today when I went to print up the badminton skort, I only want to print the pages I need and not the entire thing. When I open it, some of the pattern pieces aren’t “labeled” because they are just small parts of the pattern. So I sit and look and tile between pages to see if 4b is part of my…[Read more]

I’ve just made a long journey home
And the dishwasher’s all full of foam.
The kids squirted Dawn…
In the house and the lawn
They must have their father’s genome

My ten year old cracked me up when she asked if I was going to make a rough draft of a tshirt before I used the good fabric. Sounds better than making a muslin.

Oh and last one:
