I know that this is based on an industry standard. Is there an extended sizing chart that includes more measurements such as bicep circumference or thigh circumference?

I ask because I recently made the Playtime leggings and the Croquet dress (as a…[Read more]

While canvassing for co-sewists to go in on the postage to Malaysia with me, I asked an owner of a local shop and she decided to bring in a bunch to stock her shop. I’ve prebooked from her and my book (and 2 of my friends’) arrives next week, which I’m very excited about!

I’ll buy the book regardless..but I’m canvasing around to see if anyone I know locally would like to buy the book too, to share in the shipping cost.

He doesn’t get as much handmade as the kids do. I’d love a nice shirt and dress shorts, please.

I’ll be visiting Minneapolis at the end of the month and was wondering if any residents had tips on places to go for sewing supplies?

I’m now on a Bernette.

I decided to introduce myself finally because I have learnt so much from these forums. As a teenager, my mum taught me how to use my grandmother’s treadle sewing machine, which I mainly used to make straight-sided bags. Clothes sewing mainly started while on maternity leave about 5 years a…[Read more]
