Sewing for Yourself 10 years agoThanks, Sarvi and Cat! Courtney, the skirt is designed to sit at your natural waist, but it’s really a matter of your preference. Just like if you tried things on at a store, you get to decide how you want to wear your clothing. If you prefer it to sit a little lower, that’s up to you. Mine sits at my belly button or slightly lower, yes.

Thanks Liesl! I was trying to attach a picture, but I don’t think it worked.

I LOVE both tops and if this month were not so insanely busy I’d have ordered and made them already. I absolutely love the Maritime top, it’s one of my favorite styles and I have a few that all have something sligh…[Read more]

Sewing for Yourself 10 years agoHey all, I asked Todd to create this group so we’d have a place to easily discuss sewing for ourselves. So first question: feedback on the new Liesl + Co patterns? Are these styles you want to sew for yourself?

Chloe’s going through another growth phase and isn’t sleeping too brilliantly. So as a result my sewing time is suffering slightly.
I have managed to use the overlocker to finish the edges of the Teaparty dress and the carousel dress I have cut out – both pink. The aim is to pleat the carousel and sit and do some smocking and embroidery either…[Read more]

I uses the serger and machine, is really easy and gives a great narrow hem finish 🙂 -

Ok, my husband is home so I handed the baby to him (she is going through a non sleeping phase). Ok I have the instructions out and am looking at the diagram you uploaded.
The dotted line indicates the centre box pleat. So what you need to do is have the fabric folded and stitch down the dotted line to form to centre pleat. Then with the side…[Read more]

The Kaffe Fassett shot cottons make lovely play shirts. They only need the lightest of ironing once made up.

If you are finding it hard to get a nice turn, try basting a turning guide with a long stitch (#4). This will no only give you an accurate fold line but will gently ease the fabric.
If it is not enough ease, you can gather the stitches, just a bee’s whisker. -

I was just catchin up and found your many posts. Let me put my baby down for a nap and then I can get the instructions out to help you ok?
I am actually looking to trace out this pattern in the 6-12 month size so hopefully I can walk you through together with completing it at the same time.
Will be back in a little while to talk you through ok?
