I’m a long time Outlander fan and SOO excited to be watching the show now. Hubby even likes it, so has been a treat to curl up on the couch Saturday nights for it.
I would go with a liberty collar and cuffs myself.
In my dreams…I’ve been making all sorts of fall/winter dressy clothes for the kids. I’ve got a meter of this…[Read more]

Pure fantasy…..
Do I make another Puppet Show dress in palest coral hailspot muslin or Liberty lawn? (Trixie doesn’t need either as her current one washes and dries in no time and she will grow out of it)

Ah, I left my heart in San Francisco, along with my former dress size …
Still plugging away at the blog post, but might have to interrupt as a Spoonflower order arrived. I couldn’t stop laughing. It came out twice as big as I’d intended.

Lucky duck, that sounds awesome!

Ah, others beat me to it, never mind!

When you say the front patterns don’t cross, is this when you’re trying the garment on? This pattern has more ease than a blouse, so if it’s so tight you have to force it when buttoning, I wonder whether sizing up would solve the problem.

Hi Maria,
Yes, the pattern is wider at the back than the front. Sounds strange, I know, but if gives a nice fit this way!

*I have not made this yet* but that sounds about right. Your back is broader then your front.

Aww Mim, I missed this….. 🙁
Bumped for usefulness.

Thank you Sandi, you are awesome!

I have done that soooooo many times! 🙂

For the garden party, I sewed the shoulder straps to the skirt back instead of the yoke. It was a very what the heck moment. I even checked for errata! Haha.

No, don’t worry, a lot of us were so excited to have shirt we jumped in and sewed it up!

I am sorry you are sad Roxy.
If you look at the picture on the pattern packet, the shirt is untucked and only just reaches the waistband, thus the style.
I did a length comparison shot here. https://www.flickr.com/photos/motherof5/4773996320/in/set-72157625212212623
If you want to tuck, it does need some length added.

I made two versions with longer sleeves, they have a more casual feel, one is a farm/play dress.
