I’d actually like to make the top that goes with the girl friday culottes – eventually – thinking it would be great for nursing.

Thankyou everyone. I am hesitant to share my birth story like so many others have already. Why? Well put it this way I wouldn’t be one of those lucky ladies on one born every minute, I would be one of those people on a medical emergency program instead.

@Justine J, thank you.

(blushing) Thank you Heidi and welcome Judy.
The pocket definitely works, I have just made one, but by all means leave it off.
I have done that and it still looks adorable.

Congratulations @justsewit. Rest up!

42d here today and high temps expected again tomorrow. We have not been threatened with bush fires but we remain vigilant.

You girls are the best!

I went with the lining attached to the bodice and then did a few cm’s stitch-in-the-ditch sewing at the front back and side seam.
I hand sewed the lining to the zipper.

Thank you so much, I was pretty much flummoxed on this on and it turned out so nicely.

From the hem will be fine on these!

Sarvi, you are going to love your serger once you get going with it! It will speed up your sewing because it finished seam allowances soooo much more quickly than the sewing machine. And of course that’s just the tip of the iceberg…

This is great, Maggie! Would you have any interest in contributing a blog post about this idea? I think it would be really useful to other readers.

I am working madly to finish DD1’s Barbie house before Wednesday. Not a lot of sewing involved in that, but I did sew curtains for it yesterday (to string up on teeny curtain rods, so cute!). Once that is done I really need to finish the Playtime dress I cut out for her, oh, three months ago, before summer when it is too hot to wear it. All I…[Read more]
