It sounds like you’ve got some great plans! I can’t wait to see everything you’re sewing.

Sew Alongs 9 years agoVanahsa, I’m so glad you’re joining us! The FBA is really quite simple, and we’re here (also in Spain–we live in Madrid) if you need anything. Let us know if you have questions!

Sew Alongs 9 years agoAddie, good question! There is quite a bit of design ease in this pattern, so you are correct that you may not need to do the FBA. If you’ve checked the fit and it seems to drape fine, you’re probably safe to go ahead with it as is. But if you’re unsure, it might be a good idea to try adding the sleeves and placket just to be sure. Based on the…[Read more]

@sarvi Thanks! We were quite surprised and she is so excited!
@justsewit Thank you Tamara! I am ordering the DVD’s so I can get a good idea of what to choose. The trouble is, I have always hated the Gene Wilder version. I love the story, but he gives me the creeps (in any film) so this will be some tough research for me. Johnny Depp on the other…[Read more]

I have made the Sailboat and the Hopscotch in denim and both were worn heavily. I do like the idea of a Swingset though!

@roundtheworldgirl Masha, that is upsetting to hear! It sounds like you did the right thing though. There will always be people out there with less than savoury intentions. Flickr doesn’t seem to be the place to go with photos as much as it used to be. I use Instagram more now and like that I can make it completely private except to those I add. I…[Read more]

Since many of us are spending lots of time indoors during the colder months, it’s a great chance to start planning spring sewing. What’s in store at your house? Any big plans? Colorful projects in the works? Do tell!

Cooking and Baking 9 years agoForty-five degrees Celsius?!? Is that for real? If it’s that hot outside, you wouldn’t need to cook the Bolognese on the stove. Just throw all the raw ingredients in a pot in the morning and set it outside in the sun for the day. By the time the sun goes down at night, you’ll have a finished sauce waiting for you!
Stay cool.

Cooking and Baking 9 years agoHere’s a little Liesl + Co. secret. I do all the company’s cooking.
One of the things I like to do on days when I can work from home (which is most days now in Madrid) is make a good Bolognese sauce. I spent today making my famous “All Day Bolognese,” and @admin asked me for my recipe.
I never use recipes; I cook by feel. So I wrote up for him…[Read more]
