I’m sure it would be divine.
I would work out how many and approximately how deep I wanted the pleats to be, then calculate the skirt width from that to check against the original skirt and see if the “fullness” is similar.
More maths but quite fun I you’re into it. Or you can play with basting as Nicole said.
There will be a blog post soon about…[Read more]

I say yes!
Perhaps baste the pleats and have a play , see how well they sit?

Welcome aboard!

Oh how fun, what will you be sewing?

That’s a great tip, thank you!

I went to my local and there was no discount apparent, no sale signage — maybe it varies by location?

I can sympathise Sarvi because funnily enough I had the very same thought last Friday. Fortunately we can just stay home this Sunday instead and have a week’s entension. It is a very crazy thought especially in this household right now!

50 degrees is what get at night in winter but never ever during the day – we are too far north for such temps. It sounds as though there are plenty of ideas. Hope you find the perfect solution.

I have two pairs of puppet show shows cut and ready to sew. One is to pair with an angel top I am still working on and the other is a linen pair I didnt manage to get to before Christmas. I plan to make a tunic to go with it.

Welcome Enbee, I am glad you have de-lurked!
When I get my new MacBook we must have a natter 🙂

Happy Birthday Matilda hope you had a wonderful day!

I am busy tracing lots of patterns in larger sizes in preparation. The weather is teasing us as it does in Autumn and we are currently doing a little rugging up. So out comes the flannel fabrics and corduroy for inspection along with the voiles and light cottons for the last hurrah of summer…[Read more]
