I don’t mind too much if I’m in the headspace, although company is even better 🙂 Some of the things have been in my mending pile since last year! I ended up with a spare day and felt like getting through my sewing “to do” list 🙂
Things done: blue onesie, school tracksiut pants mended, stripe jumper mended.
Things skipped: sewing brown buttons…[Read more]

I can imagine that skirt on your twins 🙂 Elsa in particular. I hope it comes out well.

I’ve sewn my third baby onesie from Ottobre, there’s so many babies due this year I’m trying to get ahead on gifts. The onsies are so quick and easy and pair beautifully with the lullaby layette pants and jackets 🙂

@motherof5 oh, I’m laughing. The registration for the Russian Egg demonstration is full, so now I can let the answering machine do the work. So it’s on to dinner and then a late night of sewing!

I went upstairs to sew, and the house phone started ringing off the hook. The paper made a misprint of the phone number in a listing featuring hay for sale. I keep having to explain that I do not have any hay and that this is the wrong number, and I can’t not answer the phone because I agreed to take registration for a church event. I did call the…[Read more]

Everyone is so busy with great projects!!!

I bought some Gertie Sateen Rose Garden Yellow, and am awaiting the spring patterns. It has a border print and while I’d love to do it in the birthday party pattern, my girl is too big to lay the pattern that way. So now I need a dress with a waist seam to take advantage of the border print. So here I…[Read more]

Have fun! As I was looking for this pattern, I noticed the 2+2 blouse has ties at the neckline, and one of the views of the Birthday Party has ties at bodice — might like to check those out, you too, Jeb 🙂

Happy sewing, folks!

That is exactly what I needed, @sarvi. I can’t thank you enough! Now for a fun weekend of sewing 🙂

There is very little difference in length among the sizes 5-8, looks like about 1/8 to 1/4 inch difference between sizes. They’re all 3.25 inches wide. The size 8 has notches on both long sides at the same point, 9.25 inches from the straight end. The length is 26 and 3/8 for the size eight, measured along the long edge, and the pointy tip is 3/4…[Read more]

I’m working on 2 blouses for myself right now. One is a modern Simplicity that is very similar to a favorite peplum blouse of mine from Anthropology in a vintage wienie dog knit, the 2nd is a vintage McCall’s summer blouse in a green sateen cotton with tiny white polka dots. Of course, I went to JoAnn’s yesterday and snatched up a hot new Vogue…[Read more]

Thanks so much, Sarvi 🙂

And indeed you are! I don’t have my copy handy but can check for you when I get home. Jeb, look up at the top of the page and you will see it says discuss>Apple-picking — that will help identify which pattern is being discussed. Also there is only one pattern which has a neck tie, or am I forgetting one?
