I am so glad you got to sew Masha. We are all thinking of you here.

I finished Zara’s shirt and it looks lovely on her. I fiddled around with the fit, taking it in at the high waist, letting it out over her bottom and taking some fullness from the sleeve.

Next up, a grey linen skort, Simplicity 1370.

On phone please excuse grammar
As long as this does not leave the sleeve cap and under arm too tight
How about two back French darts at the back , below the shoulders and darting the centre back of the sleeve ?

There’s nothing that I would like more
Then to visit a distant shore

I have finally finished my daughters vintage pattern trench coat. (Happy dance)

I am looking forward to sewing her twin’s Lisette Moto jacket. Far less fabric to negotiate.

Masha, I am so sorry to hear your terrible news. I truly wish there was something I could do.

I hope you have some support.

My kid has got arms like an ape
There’s no way she’ll fit in this cape
I’ve lengthened and lengthened
Reinforced seams and strengthened
