Ladies, from your many and varied experiences, how long does the T-party dress fit? I realise that’s a lot like “how long is a piece of string?” I cut out an 18-24mths T-party dress in linen which I didn’t get to in time for the intended child but I have a ‘just-turned’ 2 yrs old that I can make it up for so that she can wear for the last month…[Read more]

It’s looking gorgeous, Jenny. Well done you putting in so much effort, and thought. Really looking forward to seeing it on your gorgeous (if demanding) girl.
Hope you are well, and your smiling boy, too.

I got a Janome Cpx1000. I use it on most of my sewing projects.I really like the space to the right hand side of the needle. It allows me to easily top stitch seams. I also find it useful to do double rows of top sitting on wovens to give nice even top stitching.
I would recommend getting some woolly nylon thread for the looper when doing him as…[Read more] -

I have a janome (but then all my machines are Janome). Unfortunately I don’t use it enough because of the size of my sewing table (it has to be squished up the back until I need it). There is a trick to getting the threads out so they don’t unravel but it is easy to master. I haven’t had an issue so far. This one you can do one two or three…[Read more]

High praise! Wow! Your mum sounds as critical as mine – my mum thinks she can buy clothes for my kids and I won’t mind! I see that as highly insulting!
In the past I have been successful by entering things with smocking or embroidery (or both) on the baby/toddler items. I know that not alot of people in the area do this so it means that my item…[Read more]

I managed to correct and finish two pairs – one each for the kids. Imogen’s were perfect on her but Noah’s stretched and he needed to wear a belt. I gently lectured him over the importance of cooperating when measuring him so that he could wear clothes that were just right not too big or small. He has promised to not stick his tummy out…[Read more]

Do you have the Libary dress or the school photo Dress or another Oliver and S with 3/4 sleeves?
I would use the sleeve head of the Jumprope and the 3/4 length from something else and then add the tab. -

I was sewing until midnight and stuffed the waistband on one pair of jeans. Total number out of 4 pairs done for our trip today? 0!

Given I’m adding another 2″ FBA to the 4″ FBA I’d already done . . . they’ll only be photos of the suit 🙂

Hehe! Sewing snobbery rules! Nuthin’ to be ashamed of there! I do the same and apply Oliver and s sewing principals with other patterns now. Some instructions are very vague out there.
I am steadily trundling my way through the two extra pair of jeans – Jalie 2908 stretch jeans size “v” (9) and (shock horror!) Thread theory Jedediah pants in size…[Read more]
