I agree with Robin. The on the right would work for piping, also, or anything where you need to sew very close to something that’s not flat.

Here’s my guesses. The one on the left is for rolled hems and the one on the right is a zipper foot.

Oh that did work well! Very cute.

I am currently printing and sticking various Jalie pdf patterns together in the hope that I can find something matching Noah’s size. He badly needs winter clothes and his birthday is on Saturday so I thought I would attempt to use these patterns to make him something. If they work, I will be measuring the husband and the workman aswell! There will…[Read more]

Hi Harmony — can you try posting a link to a pic of the feet? I tried to see if there was a broken link in your post that I could fix for you, but all I’m seeing right now is the plain text of your post.

Bumpity bump. 🙂

Oh yes it is very similar. That one is called Sailor boy – made it for a certain young man who is turning ten on Saturday (when he was a baby of course!)

Let me try that again….sorry!!

Look what I found while going through some Australian Smocking and Embroidery Magazines tonight…I see such similarities to Prince George’s “royal attire”!!

I used to shop unwanted fabric around…asking sewing friends if they were interested, offering it to schools, posting it on freecycle and/or craigslist. But it involved a lot of effort and when I’m ready to get rid of something, I want it gone. Now I drop it off at our local thrift shop.;)

I haven’t seen it in a stripe at all that I can recall. Since the pieces are narrow at the top and wider at the bottom you will end up cutting your stripes on an angle. If you are then able to match them together you will effectively get chevrons at each seam.
I’d play with some miniaturised pattern pieces and striped paper first to see if you…[Read more]

Did they save all of the special smocked things that William and Harry wore? I think I remember this ne one of them many years ago – through the eyes of a child. He is a beautiful looking child but then look at the parents!

Tonight I made a Sunday Brunch skirt. Old school Oliver + S!!
I knocked up a quick one in some drill I was gifted in a stomach churning shade of pink. I’m sure she’ll love it and mostly I just wanted to check the fit and construction before I start fiddling with it….
I’m thinking a mini City Stroll wrap skirt using the Sunday Brunch as the…[Read more]

Thankyou Karen. My parent used to have shi tzu dogs. One was the puppy of the older one. I know it won’t make preparing for the inevitable easier but Princess died of cancer also. Belle (the pup) was fourteen and she had an enlarged heart and unfortunately passed away on Good Friday when they were up here at the farm. We had a funeral for her also…[Read more]
