So glad! I hope you’ll show us the skirt when you’re done!

I just cut out another one of these for myself, and I lengthened it by a bit for winter. To do this, you’ll simply splice the pattern at the lengthen-shorten line and add the desired amount of length at that spot. Be sure to lengthen all the relevant pieces by the same amount (don’t forget the facing!), and keep the grain line matched up as you…[Read more]

Sewed a pair of slippers for my sister for Christmas last night. Going to make another pair for my other sister. I also have two more American Girl doll dresses to make, and then a red ponte skirt for myself to wear for Christmas.

I don use them anymore. I did realise that the notches on the back flap match the notches but not the edge of the bag bit. I’ll try and member to get a picture using the notches for the next bag 🙂

Heidi you’re a machine! I’ve just completed one and feel so glad to be done with it.
