What a bummer that it doesn’t fit. He measures an 8, but the 10 is too tight across the chest? Or is it that you were looking for a shirt long enough to tuck in? Length is pretty easy to add but if you fear the 12 will be tightly fitted across the chest, adding width might be a bit trickier.

I sometimes use tailor’s tacks and sometimes use tailor’s chalk. Depending on the fabric, they can both work.

I sense your frustration levels @withloveHeidi. I cut out two metro tshirts – one women’s size small and a men’s size xs. Started sewing the men’s xs in what I thought was knit fabric with 25% stretch – my foot😤😖 and what the HECK did I do to the neckline???? Oh how I do NOT LIKE SEWING WITH STRETCH FABRICS😭😡

I put the Swimsuit aside and sewed up a dolls Tea Pary dress and playsuit! No fitting, much appreciated 🙂

Patterns need to be able to shape shift to fit me also! I don’t think I have ever used a pattern for myself that didn’t involve somesort of alteration – unless it was an accessory.

They had both linen and merino jersey on sale — I got a bit of each. I’d been wanting to make a jersey top and linen slacks to match a pair of unusual shoes I found for my daughter, and they had the perfect match. They were so lovely and helpful, too — their receipt includes a little card with care instructions.

Ok, good tip — I have some thread a bit like that in a bright color I don’t often use — will try it, thanks!

Gals, any tips for marking wool? I’m off to google tailor’s tacks in the meanwhile.

@lightningmcstitch she does! Modelled pics hopefully this week with of course her neon pink shoes! Thank goodness I went monochrome for this one but I hope to get another made in matching neon pink denim – it is the flavour of the moment 😜!
Alas I had no hands for much of today so tomorrow is going to be frantically busy!

I wish no alterations! I think that’s why I sew sew many children’s clothes. Minimal to no alterations 🙂

We have a printer paper thief in our house and I stole it back to print out the men’s metro tshirt! Unfortunately I was found out and it was nabbed again! But thankfully the pattern is printed so I can (at last) put it together. But only when I have my hands free from picking up the baby who (sob) wants to stand up😕. It’s just going…[Read more]
