I love Thread Theory Tiina.

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

How radiant does Britters look?

Modelling her Gallery tunic.

On other patterns, I sort of eye ball it and see where it works best (i.e. won’t alter the shape too much).

I would love to know if there is a rule of thumb. The last few vintage patterns I have sewn tell you to ‘lengthen above this line’.

I don’t have a pattern number for you but I have had success making casual pull on trousers from pj’s bottoms patterns.
You will need to add pockets and there looks to be a boot leg type thing going on, so maybe a teen style range?

Is anyone else having trouble commenting on the blog? It may be our horrendous internet connection.

Sorry to but in…. I was watching a movie last night ( The General’s Daughter) and the main actress (Madeline Stow)? was wearing a lovely sleeveless blouse which had an armhole facing, stitched down.
I thought of your question.

Ellen, if it bugs you, fix it. I have embraced my quick unpick (it helps that is is a natty little number I purchased in the O+S store).
I just accept it as part of good sewing now.
Much less angst. 🙂

I love that sweet chubbiness they still have when they start kind. All gone by big school.
She is so lovely Janice.

Thanks for heads up Sarvi, that is not a good look.
How does it fit if you shorten the dart? Less taper?

Hallo Tiina, I am so glad you joined. I have girls too (well, one boy) and I have started pulling out O+S clothes I made for older siblings, for the younger ones. I love that!

What patterns do you sew for your husband?

I found this today when I was tidying (not O+S though)

Thank you Sarvi, the feeling is entirely mutual.

What a darling!
I love seeing ‘our’ babies grow.
Thank you Jane.

I have been thinking of you and your poor Mum, Jenny.

Masha, all the best!
