Thank you, Helena! I saw this a few days ago but my computer was wonky and wouldn’t let me reply on these message boards. Anyway I saw that they ship to the U.S. but then I found a pair on eBay so we are all set (they are not quite mustard yellow, more sunny, but it seems that other family members have gone the sunny route so we won’t stand…[Read more]

Oh this is fun! So many wonderful offerings but my girl is already wearing size 8 (sniff sniff!)

I’ll have to go through my daughter’s O+S items and see what is too small for her (then I’ll be back).

Hi, I managed to find these mustard tights for my daughter http://m.johnlewis.com/mt/www.johnlewis.com/john-lewis-girl-cotton-blend-tights-mustard/p2055066#page_loaded

Happy to pick up a pair and post to you but not sure how long it would take to arrive!

I”ve more or less completed the Christmas doll sewing (more or less because I still vaguely want to make a few accessories to go with the outfits – I really need to start making sewing plans so that I don’t waste so much time wondering what to start on next). I’m simultaneously trying to plan my kids’ outfits for the large family portrait we are…[Read more]

yes it has a pile but it’s a short white pile. I will cut it, as you suggest, so when I fold it in half and sew it along the edge of the hood it doesn’t stretch. I’m going to cut it vertical, thank you for your help.

I’ve done another couple of seams on my messenger bags 🙂

I cut 4 hopscotch several weks ago. I cleand my sewing room in the interim and tossed the scraps. I went to sew one and could not find th neck line binding. YIKES..

I dumped my sewing scraps pail and found the piece!

I made lengthened ones for my older nephews, who were 8 and 10, last Christmas. They wore them all last summer and have been worn this summer too!
I used bias binding instead of the facing piece. I think this could work well for the younger boy too.

Brenda – YES, I found those patterns! I used the jumper pattern for Molly (which was the original doll I owned) as the base for all the dresses I sewed and it worked great.

Good luck with your jacket. My husband has a soft shell that he loves – but it cost an arm and a leg; even $20 fabric is a bargain in comparison!
