A new year means new patterns for me.
Last year’s are all looking twee
I just have to buy more….

I have been working my way through the mending pile, wearing my hair shirt. 😉

I really hope to start a Music Class blouse for Liddy today. sigh….

*I have not made this* but I have seen lots of different versions on lots of body shapes. I think it has enough ease not to need a FBA.

I am very happy to be corrected 🙂

This is definitely Melanie’s field, @Willanna. I have a blog post here https://www.pinterest.com/pin/73676143875948321/ in which I underlined velvet spotted tulle.

However, I would use this method http://oliverands.com/community/forums/topic/added-a-skirt-lining-how-do-i-sew-the-zipper for the lining.

Good luck!

Lots of great reading and some great tips.
After quizzing my chiblings we worked out the most worn was this https://www.flickr.com/photos/motherof5/5444046339/in/set-72157625138776927
A Sailboat top in navy/white cotton lycra. Liddy is now wearing it after it was passed on to the Twins.

*From memory* you will need to add maybe an inch or so to the top of the shorts?
I would add extra, sort of pin (with safety pins) the skirt and shorts together, and try them on the child.

If you take out the placket, make sure the skirt will be wide enough to pull up.

I, very recently, added the Tea Party bloomers to the Hopscotch skirt, it…[Read more]

I found the Sunday Brunch a fait-to-generous fit. I would not have layered it over a jumper (sweater) but my girls always got a good amount of wear from their corresponding size.

The added bonus is it looks really cute a little fitted.

Great topic Nicole! I think my most worn items would be all the Class Picnic blouses I’ve made. Not only does my little fusspot love the style, they seem to fit for years and then get passed on to my niece who wears them for years. Great for summer but equally good layered for cooler months. My least worn item would have been the Pinwheel dress…[Read more]

I thought hard about this one, cause it’s a great question – then, I realized that the answer was right in front of me – 100% definitely, the most worn and least worn are from the same pattern – my daughter has worn these pajama bottoms probably about 5 days out of 7 – they are now half-way up her shins, yet she still wears them.

Welcome back Becky, I hope the unpacking goes well.

I finished Tildy’s Field Trip outfit. Huge success, my girly girl loves her velvet farm trousers.

Next up a knit Music Class blouse and knit Lunch Box culottes for a sneaky school uniform for Liddy.

I found dresses just bunched up above the waist, it never bothered any of my babies.
Perhaps make one and see how you go. 🙂
