I’ve made a butterfly skirt and top, a birthday party dress and a wrap skirt to include in the monochrome project. I do have a pair of puppet show shorts cut out but as to whether they will be done by the 5th is another thing. If they are completed them they can go with the white puppet show tunic as a set.

Chloë wore her birthday party dress…[Read more]

I’ve cut out and have sewn the darts on the art museum Vest. I had just enough to cut it out of the remaining pinstripe fabric but I’ll need to do a contrast lining.

So glad to hear it worked out!

Sorry Rebecca, I didn’t know what a camp collar was. Now I’ve learned something new 🙂

I finished Jed’s polo and should be making him one more garment… but as Hugo’s 18th is looming I have queue jumped the sewing rota and cut him another pair of Jedediah trousers and an Aime Comme Marie Mister shirt and me a pair of Ginger jeans and an Aime Comme Marie Madame shirt for me!

I rarely have this much cut waiting to be sewn, it feels…[Read more]

I have made several and the lining doesn’t show.
Perhaps roll your seam slightly inwards when pressing to be on the safe side.

Susan, I have some piccies of the yoke here as well as a nifty treatment for the collar to get it to sit like a two piece.

The Jedediah are seriously nice Rebecca http://fiveandcounting-motherof5.blogspot.com.au/2015/08/jedediah-baby.html

Haha, that’s so cute! Todd & Co, or the Big 4 version, Tedette…

Oh poor sweetie! If it makes you feel good then that is all that matters, that’s what I say.

@lightningmcstitch stability is the word! They stretch in the shop though😖! Oh well. I will have a good look at the ottobre ribbing you suggest. The one thing I absolutely crave is good quality. Everything else can look the other way!

Right on, @lightningmcstitch! The drape is important for this one. The fabric can be relatively thick as long as it’s not too stiff. @Ginger, I’d suggest going to a fabric store and looking at the coatings section so you can see the type of fabric we’ve recommended for this pattern. That way you’ll know what to look for when you shop your stash!

@lightningmcstitch as per instructions and with an overlocker. It is knit fabric fron spotlight – jersey it said- but it has like zero stretch and the neckband turned out rediculous! It went in the bin and I have vowed to look for stretchier stuff once I get to Perth. I also indulged and bought some fabric from girlcharlee (I know! Mad! given the…[Read more]
