I have been trying to answer but had locked myself out!

I would try laying one sleeve over the other.

Fiona, I have found the Playtime to be pretty on par with my other oft-used patterns – Music Box, Bubble Dress, Class Picnic, etc. So for my slender girls I size down the width considerably – the last ones I made (woven) were a size 2 with length but that was a while ago. I’d say I go down two sizes or so from RTW but that is the case with the…[Read more]

I read Nicole’s tute and she measured Tilly’s arms to make them. I was wondering how the music class sleeve bottom would look with it. I was planning to use the garden party sleeve cap just to save fitting headaches.

I’m afraid I can’t help with the playtime question Fiona, as I haven’t made that one (or have I?) – it would have had serious alterations if I did and I know I used a knit and a woven for one pattern but as to whether it was that particular one, I simply cannot remember. I would think it would be roomier with a knit though”

I think cutting out…[Read more]

Could you post the photos here? (I’m not on Facebook but I’ve made the Music Box at least seven times so I might be able to help).

Ellen, I aspire to do that one day. My husband keeps talking about my sewing him a suit (and I fail to contain my laughter every time he mentions it) but a shirt I could probably do. It just feels daunting!

In my quest to sew all the knits in my stash (where this came from, I have no idea), I have started making nursing loungewear. I found a sweet pattern on Etsy (https://www.etsy.com/listing/171370912/e-pattern-sweet-blossom-lingerie?ref=shop_home_active_1) that includes variations for a nursing sleep bra, camisole and gown. I made up the bra and…[Read more]

Ellen, a man’s shirt would be something I have a hankering to do. Unfortunately, my hibby doesn’t like me to even buy his shirts so making one would be a miracle.

I have the elastic and buttons to do on the pink hopscotch and then that is done.

I stuck together the hula hoops skirt and the butterfly pattern in preparation for the eventual making…[Read more]

Poor poor little girl, and poor you Jenny.

Poor poor little girl, and poor you Jenny.

I love making mens shirts Ellen.

Nearly finished Beatrix’s sewing turn and then on to Matilda.

Time to glue the Carnival PDF together.
