I am working on an Arielle skirt (Tilly and the Buttons) for my sister using some yellow patterned Lisette twill from a few seasons ago. She had a birthday last month and because of all the “excitement” in our lives I didn’t give it much thought. I basted the skirt together and she came over yesterday to try it on. It was kind of fun having her…[Read more]

I did join now and it says something about the group being searchable but members and posts are only visible to members. Or something to that effect.

Thanks!

@justsewit yeah, Tamara, I’m more of a Facebook reader than poster – I do belong to several sewing groups…some informative, some drama (which I then leave). A good way to learn new…[Read more]

I just hit the “purchase” button on a Brother 2340cv coverstitch machine!! My siblings (I have four of them) and father were very generous for my birthday last month. I hemmed (ha ha) and hawed over buying it, but when the hem on my newly sewn Colette Mabel snapped today while I was giving the kids a bath, it was the last straw. I can’t wait…[Read more]

You may want to consider changing your group from “Public” to “Closed” – personally, I don’t need my non-sewing (like work, basketball, soccer etc.) friends seeing my posts/comments in sewing groups….not that there’s anything wrong with sewing…I’m also weirded out when my non-sewing friends follow me on Instagram as well – maybe it’s just me!…[Read more]

Shouldn’t be a problem. I’ve done it with non-stretchy interlock for boys clothes without a problem. Photo here – the stripes are interlock and the teal is jersey: https://www.flickr.com/photos/23557464@N03/13439957983/in/album-72157651963159780/

Enjoy your serger!!

If any of the seams give you grief try ironing a small scrap of interfacing to stabilise the seam before sewing.

Good luck, they sound very groovy.

A very soft pinwale would be lovely. The pants fit for a long time too.

Congratulations Nancy, I am so excited for you.

I had my last lot made by Cash’s name labels. I think they are international, try Googling them.

Absolutely gorgeous, individually cut and iron-on-able.

I find this a good fit, not sloppy, for the size chart given. It is my skinny, broad shouldered 11 year old’s shirt de jour.

I do add some length, maybe 3 inches? You can always shorten it.

Hope that helps.

I have swopped to glue sticks, far more durable.

You could swop the side that you button on but my girls happily wear Hugo’s hand-me-downs.
Lidia is wearing them now, that is the third child to have them.

Just Sunshine, Heidi, Hugo was driving.
I may have purchased fabric….

Eeep, I am 2 minutes away from Eliza’s!

Do you mean an envelope style neck? Where the back comes over the front at the shoulders and opens up to allow dressing?

You can use a woven binding but remember, that it will not be that stretchy so you will need to make sure it will fit over babies head, just with the envelope style opening.

I hope that is some help.

Bumpity bump. 🙂
