What fabric are you using?
I have been thinking of you, Trixie is cluster feeding and I wondered if you were having the same scenario, feeding/dreaming of sewing.

Generally, cord is fluffy and bulky enough that it ‘puffs’ up once sewn so it is unlikely to be a problem.

If you are worried you can trim a bee’s whisker off your lining pieces before sewing them to the bodice but then your will have to be aware of that and take care matching side seams and notches.

Finally, children are a moving target. The…[Read more]

It’s not seasonal, but the best holiday celebration I ever experienced was on the Fourth of July.

Years ago I used to travel constantly for work. One year I found myself in Lincoln, NE over the Fourth of July–which fell in the middle of that week that year and didn’t really allow me to travel home and then back again just to take one day…[Read more]

@Justmejay, that sounds like a caching issue to me. We’ll have @admin look into that for us.

Thanks mim22 for your condolences. The funeral will be on Thursday and then we can get back to normal.

Jennigirl I would LOVE to renovate! The laundry first then a much needed update to the bathroom. My poor boy’s bedroom drastically needs a makeover and as for the nursery! Well I think a fresh coat of paint will make it worthy of growing into.…[Read more]

Bravo Shelley

Thank you Becky, I am very blessed.

My sewing machine went off for service
Now the cinema dress is my purpose
Undaunted, I’ll make it
Top stitching? I’ll fake it!

I do, Liesl suggested it and it looks so lush.
I was always told the nap *must* run down but I adore the look the other way.
And as Tildy said when I made her this dress https://www.flickr.com/photos/motherof5/9047251334/in/pool-1729774@N23/ you must cuddle me upwards.

Thank you, so helpful.
@stacibennett that is food for thought!

I am half way through a little lisette 1893 in size 16 (whaaat?). Fabric is a black embroidered voile chosen by miss Imogen herself. I hope to complete it tomorrow afternoon / evening. That will leave a solid day of sewing Wednesday to try and get something else made.

I might have to try and locate something for Noah rtw.

I just logged on for a peek
Like I do every other week

Patricia, thank you, that is just what I was after.
So, you went with her height (+ extra) and that was plenty long enough? Her height, 3T, would have been perfect now?

I have had “personality clashes” with machines before! I feel your pain!

It sounds like your machine is suffering some sort of complex or disorder cybele. The sooner you get a “diagnosis” the better and then it can go to therapy and you can get sewing on something considered “sane” again. Yes! Take the deal and run, it seems like a good one.

Ok,…[Read more]
