Reeni

@reeni Thanks. My daughter drew me a picture of what she wanted and the Metro will fit the bill for what she wants. However, you could do the raglan and I actually (when I was looking for inspriation) looked at the carousel dress design lines to see how this would work. I am seeing cold shoulder tops that are fitted t shirts and also strappy tops…[Read more]

What great value @reeni.

I am onto about my fifth muslin for the ginger jeans – finally caved on that pattern. I think I know what to adjust where in order to get them perfect. Then I can make a cone denim pair and a black pair. The black ones are intended as a show entry but, I think I have just discovered a case of hand foot and mouth disease…[Read more]

@reeni, so cute! Your daughter looks excited, while your son looks a little less thrilled to leave summer behind. I’m totally on his side.

Wow, you can buy regulation fabric to do your own uniform sewing? That’s neat!

Thanks @reeni – very helpful info. I’ll use the Purl Soho one then, and will make a cardboard pressing tool as well. I’m going to use cotton lawn for my first attempt. I’m hoping for the best!

Thanks, @Reeni! We’re excited about it too.

A shirt/blouse and a new shorts pattern would be super appreciated too.

Oh, hang on @reeni, do you mean wool fabric for sewing, or wool yarn for knitting?

Absolutely @reeni !
I’m so bored of sewing navy pants and my seven and a half year old is fast outgrowing his current ones.
I’d love to give them a home and a new schoolyard!
Name your exchange….

@reeni – I love those straps! I think I will copy/compliment yours. @liesl – I do see what you’re saying….it does make sense! I’ll have to look at the zipper size because that may be impacted. Counting down to school, and not one uniform piece nor backpack nor lunchbox has been made….hmmmm….

Oh my goodness @Reeni, your little ones grew up so fast! Love the Playdate dress you made her! 🙂

@Reeni I can’t seem them either. 🙁

@Reeni, I am sorry, my jolly computer won’t show your photos.

@Reeni I waved my moderator wand and took out your duplicate/empty posts. Thanks for sharing your pics.
