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?

I realise I have been stalking and reading threads without comments for far too long!

@cybele727 I’m dreading being asked to sew for school productions. I selfishly feel like I only want to sew what I want to sew, which isn’t generous or community spirited. Maybe I’ll feel differently if the time comes! Congrats to your son though, guess he’s…[Read more]

Sorry, I thought I was in the Apple Picking Dress forum. Thank you!

Aw, that’s so nice to hear! Thanks!

Totally agreed, Tamara! I’ll let you know how it goes.

I will be sewing Dalmation ears for the school play soon. Not sure once they discover I can sew how much more they will give me.

The 4th and 5th graders are doing Cruella deVil. My son got a lead- he’s Pongo- the father dog. He’s quite excited!
