@enbee I have found they change instantly. If one of my photos get tagged with one of those explore ‘awards’ I make the photo ‘private’ (which gets rid of the 50 random favourites and odd comments) and then change it back to public.

@mcholley1 have you ever made the school days jacket? You could do the pleat in the lining as per this and it should work. I would take it all the way down.

So unfortunatly I’m sewing a non Oliver S pattern. I’m making a blazer. The pattern calls for a half lining but I plan to extend it full length. The lining has a pleat at the top to add ease. My question is do I extend the pleat down to the hem or do I blend it out as it extends down to the hem?
Thanks to anyone that has experience here.

I have just finished the most darling little croquet dress! And here I go again dreaming of more!
Next though is another shot at a simplicity jumpsuit for my eldest. Seeing as I couldn’t get anymore of the original fabric I will start again and use linen instead.

Whilst attaching the skirt to the bodice of the croquet dress I am making today, I discovered that I attached the skirt wrong side out. It happened TWICE!

That blouse does sound lovely @withloveHeidi. I have just cut the 12-18 month size pattern for the class picnic blouse also with a view of using it soon.
I made a start on the croquet dress this morning while Chloë was sleeping. I am up to attaching skeeves, top and skirt.
I have to stitch the back placket of the last two remaining Playdate…[Read more]

@enbee I can only add my story. If I upload photos, privately, they seem to stay that way, even after I change the settings, for a period of time.
If I want a photo to be public, I upload it publicly.
Flickr can be a bit temperamental.
I am sorry not to be more help.

@rebecca just to throw things into the mix, have you looked at this one at all? http://violettefieldthreads.com/products/sloane-skinny-jeans-pattern.
Probably not what you are after but thought I would put it out there anyway.

I think it would finish it very well if you included the detail on the sleeve. It’s lovely.

Cooking and Baking 9 years agoThe other day Tsia was off from school, and she wanted to make brownies. She went to the internet to find a recipe and came back with this one. I’m not sure where she found it.
1 1/4 cups Nutella
1/2 cup flour
2 eggs
All you need to do is mix the ingredients and pour them into a greased pan. Bake at 350 degrees F for 20-25 minutes.

Hi Connie @totter2
Fusible web is like double sided interfacing. It’s used to stick two different fabrics together.
If you want white windows, you’d have to cut rectangles of white fabric and use fusible web to stick it down.
Thus, your windows can be whatever you want them to be.
If you don’t have fusible web, you could use fabric glue, or pins…[Read more] -

Sewing for Yourself 9 years agoHi Mimi,
Wow, I think that pattern has been out of print for a while now! Glad you found a copy.
I would suggest contacting Simplicity directly for the missing elements. They produced the pattern and will be able to tell you what to do or where to get what you need. Have fun with it!
