Oh dear @dubhels2003, I know what you mean but still very cute!
My little Trix finished her sleepy 5am feed in our bed, smiled said ‘choc-late’ and went back to sleep.

I tend to shop by feel and drape so I am not much help with names…
May I say, if anyone makes you feel bad, they are the jerks, not you!
You ask your questions, only a stupid person stops learning.

Shirts with two piece collars and cuff plackets are always on my radar.
I would love your instructions for these.Cargo shorts, something like the Field Trip with no waist band/elastic back casing would be great as work/casual wear.

We love our food @lisamm Thank you for the suggestion. My Biggies were ‘Smash’ fans so when we saw the exhibition flyer, we booked extra days accommodation so we could see it.

Nicole replied to the topic another question! in the forum Sewing for Yourself 8 years ago
My girls and I love racer back tops. We work out and have nice shoulders and want to show them.
I don’t find visible bra straps a problem and younger women don’t mind at all.
Spaghetti straps are very pretty too. I wouldn’t wear them to sit in the sun all day but otherwise, very cool and comfortable.

The season for sewing has changed
My skirts and I are estranged
But my jackets and coats
Are garnering votes
Time for clothing, to be, exchanged.I just want to sit down and sew!

Nicole replied to the topic What are you sewing now? in the forum off topic 8 years ago
I finished my turn on the #sewingrota on a high with some gorgeous back jeans for me!
Three pairs of jeans, a denim shirt and four tee’s were a much needed injection of clothing in my wardrobe.Now I am on to formal sewing, Zara’s first. Some gorgeous Gatsby inspired sequinned tulle.

Watch your sleeve cap, it may need a little pinched from it, it is easy to do after sewing.
I ave found (with a longer tee/tee dress) you can get some odd things happen at the shoulder due to the extra weight of the extra fabric. -

Nicole replied to the topic Smocking in the forum Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 8 years ago
@sewgirl23
I think the 2+2 would be gorgeous. Just under the tie, instead of the tab.
ASM Blue did a gorgeous Ice Cream blouse. I would use gingham, so I could stitch the squares, rather then pleat.I still love French knots.
I think simple smocking looks cleaner and more modern.

Why don’t you colour block and cut the 2 for the top and then make it wider, gradually, with a bit of trimming as you go?

Nicole replied to the topic The Limerick Thread in the forum off topic 8 years ago
I can’t decide which is my size
Do I go by my waist or my thighs? -
Nicole replied to the topic Finishing knits in the forum oliver + s: school bus t-shirt 8 years ago
@eboyd83 I have tried a few but my latest ones are from Cash’s name labels.
They have been the best, and if you contact them directly they will do a large bulk order.

What did I do with my thread?
It’s normally kept by the bed
‘Cuz I stitch in my sleep
Embroidering sheep
Non-mulesed and organically fed.(do not google mule-sing)
There is rumoured to be a new book.
