Liesl Gibson replied to the topic Cotton/nylon blend fabric? in the forum off topic 9 years ago

Have you tried the Outdoor Ready series on our blog? As I recall, Ashley had a nice post there about sourcing fabric for purposes like this. I remember that Rose City Textiles was listed as an option, but maybe she mentioned others as well?

I hadn’t heard about this–sounds very interesting! Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for posting. xo
Todd Gibson replied to the topic The Limerick Thread in the forum off topic 9 years ago

Well, it looks like I made a spelling error. So, for catching it, @lightningmcstitch, you have to take the next line:

This denim it just will not stretch
When I wear it I feel I must retch
Lightning McStitch replied to the topic The Limerick Thread in the forum off topic 9 years ago

I’m calling for clarification on that one @todd …
“wretch” (noun) a poor, miserable person.
“retch” (verb) to gag or vomit
“wrench” (verb) to twist and pull
I’m guessing, from context, you were going for wrench… Poetic license bring what it is, and this being a limerick thread on a sewing forum, you can make up any word/meaning you like of…[Read more]

My daughter will only wear pink
With tulle and sequins I think

Ooooh, I get to start a new one too I think??

My daughter will only wear pink 🙁

I just want to sit down and sew!
But lately I’ve been on the go
‘Cause we’re building a house
And I just saw a mouse

By the time the machine’s out there’ll be snow

(Apologies @ock-du-spock if this is prophetic…)

Thanks, @sewgirl23! I’m glad you’re going to make it, and it’s really good to know that the photos help! Cheers.
Liesl Gibson replied to the topic Lisette B6358 Swimsuit Sew Along in the forum Sew Alongs 9 years ago

Thanks for this, @snoutfair! It’s really helpful to us to know that these are useful to you, and the more feedback we receive the more likely we are to them again in the future. Thanks also for the reminder regarding the elastic; I’ll drop another email to Butterick to see if they can give me a number now!
Sarvi replied to the topic Lisette B6358 Swimsuit Sew Along in the forum Sew Alongs 9 years ago

That’s a good idea — I read much more than I comment, or I get busy but bookmark things for future use — but it must seem like radio silence from the other end!
Liesl Gibson replied to the topic Lisette B6358 Swimsuit Sew Along in the forum Sew Alongs 9 years ago

Interesting, Sarvi! Thanks for the explanation.

Hey, will everyone who followed/follows the sew-along do me a favor and leave a quick note here telling us you made use of it? It will help a lot with deciding whether to do more sew-alongs in the future if we can gauge the level of interest and participation.

Cheers!
Todd Gibson replied to the topic Question about sending private messages in the forum about the forums 9 years ago

I was able to change the title of the post.
Sarvi replied to the topic Question about sending private messages in the forum about the forums 9 years ago

Hm, good question! I assumed as the thread starter you’d have an edit button somewhere, but perhaps I have made an ASS of U and ME as the old saying goes.
Sarvi replied to the topic Lisette B6358 Swimsuit Sew Along in the forum Sew Alongs 9 years ago

May Grey (and its buddy, June Gloom) are weird patches of overcast skies that come along between Spring and Summer here in Los Angeles. You’ve been having a nice time hiking in April, then you lose the blue skies (but oddly enough, not the penetrating heat of the sun — so if you look outside you’ll want to grab a sweater, but then you open your…[Read more]
Lightning McStitch replied to the topic Lisette B6358 Swimsuit Sew Along in the forum Sew Alongs 9 years ago

Yay! The suits look great. I love the boning and all the “grown up” lady aspects of this pattern. I’ll miss the sewalong deadline but I’m right behind you, just six months behind… 🙂
Liesl Gibson replied to the topic Lisette B6358 Swimsuit Sew Along in the forum Sew Alongs 9 years ago

What’s May Grey, Sarvi?
Sarvi replied to the topic Lisette B6358 Swimsuit Sew Along in the forum Sew Alongs 9 years ago

Those are really nice, I like the cut a lot particularly on the bottoms. That’s something I can wear. I am still looking for the right fabric — and sewing time — but would love to get a pair done by the time May Grey is over in Los Angeles.
Sarvi replied to the topic Question about sending private messages in the forum about the forums 9 years ago

Tamara, could I suggest editing the title of this thread to read “question about sending private messages” or similar as it appears Leslie might have mistaken this for a private conversation between the two of you.
