@georgeandizzy Everything will come out at the same time.

@justsewit What line did you find matching knit and woven?

We always get so itchy, don’t we? I’ve been sitting on my hands waiting for someone else to ask! 🙂

Exciting! Which will release first, O+S or L+C?

We’re waiting from confirmation from the printer yet about when everything will be ready, but we’re tentatively planning on the second week in September. We’re at that point in the process where it’s mostly up to how fast the trucks can move back and forth across the country.

May I ask, what have you tried and what has been recommended to you by the repair person?

I have a Janome and I know that even though mine doesn’t pop, when the machine has come undone somewhere in the threading, it won’t chain well. Sometimes it kicks itself out of a hook somewhere and you wonder how the heck it happens but then I just have to…[Read more]

Shouldn’t be long now. It is usually around mid September to mid October.

@dubhels2003 I just posted an answer for you on the lisette forum. I hope its helpful.

@nzsewist I haven’t really decided as yet. I might make a butterfly skirt or pair of sailboat pants but I am thinking of doing separates anyway in order to mix and match with other pieces in her wardrobe. I’d like to do a couple of dresses also but it is all down to how much time I have.

I have a backlog of things being worked on at the moment. I have a white class picnic top awaiting hems to be sewn a d elastic to be put in. I have a family reunion dress and puppet show dress both in floral lawn of different prints waiting for their sides to be sewn as the sleeve have only just been attached. I have two pairs of jeans to complete…[Read more]

@justsewit, why not either/or/both? As you can see, I am a real curmudgeon for rules about sew alongs. 🙂

And if we do an either or, I may have to get that sparkly Miller fabric. What a pretty every day skirt it would be…. hmmmm….

Its cute fabric. Do you have ideas as to how you are going to use it?

I am in the process of making a white class picnic blouse that believe it or not was cut and started before the challenge was mentioned. I am tossing up what to team it with.

May I ask if we can (at some stage) do the same challenge but for the big people too? We could use the…[Read more]

@dubhels2003 a dress but not a dressup? I am immediately thinking that if your little one is turning three and is obsessed by Alice, why not make her an Alice costume? Or does she have one already? Vothgirl did the same for her miss E who turned three recently – her’s was sleeping beauty I think.

Do you have enough of the Alice liberty to use…[Read more]

Oh I was eyeing a Michael Miller black fabric with silver dots. So absolutely. It is totally sparkly grey!

Personally, I love grey so much I consider it a “colour above all others”. But it’s not really, is it. Certainly fits on the monochrome spectrum. After all a black and white image is really variations of grey! I stuck with black and white only for my blog post, but only because i could lose myself in the greys badly!
Here’s my Pinterest board…[Read more]
