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.

Thanks @ann-maree for the great tip, I visited yesterday and there was a sale, too, got some wonderful fabrics at great prices!

@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!

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]

There are some good seams to take it in by @vothgirl. A little from each would give you the best result.

@sarvi, I would love that!

I finished by husbands long waited Liberty shirt, I have only had the fabric for two years. 🙂

I have moved on to a trusty KwikSew polo top for him, in a vibrant green/pink stripe.

Just completed a city stroll wrap skirt for my teen in a size 10! Measured three times and for some reason she didn’t fit the 8😐. Anyway, this one fits well.

I have a women’s metro t shirt cut in a size small to sew next followed by a men’s metro and a pair of short for my ten year old.

I’m on to at least my 6th muslin of my bathers top! The band fits well, one side is good and I think the other side is nearly there. It has been a very long frustrating process.
