Oh Jenny! Ok, I will fill you in on something happy because I absolutely know where you are right now, having had this kind of a year last year.

Two weekends ago, we in Australia commemorated Anzac Day. It was in fact the centenary year. There were something like 90000 people rocking up to the dawn service at Kings park Perth! And then later that…[Read more]

My niece is about to spend 2 weeks in plaster casts up to her knees (including her feet) on both legs! I thought it would be MUCH easier to get pants on and off if the sides opened up.
I was planning a significant hack of probably the field trips or sandbox and then the parachute pants are released with a perfect stripe down the side 🙂 Only…[Read more]

I finally got back to sewing tonight. I feel I haven’t sewn much in the last month or so. But tonight I cut out and pinned my first pair of parachute pants. Although I’m making them so that the stripe closes with velcro so I’ll see how they go.

Sarvi I think Donna may mean the inner most corners, aka the seam allowances.

Donna, i have just been going through the instructions (one handed I’m afraid as I have a baby with a cold that insists on being held). Gathering the info of what your dilemma is and comparing the photos (Thanks so much Brittney for helping upload these) to the pictures…[Read more]

Last night I had a very Oliver and s type of dream! I dremed I smocked a puppet show dress! Ya never know it may come true yet but after I clear the other projects half done first.

I wonder why you keep getting locked out Nicole? Yes this was my thought re the sleeve. Ok now we have had confirmation its a go!

I don’t think I see anything wrong, either. Could you rephrase “the top inner corners right sides and mine are sewed” — I’m afraid I don’t understand that part.

I am so sorry, I can’t see the problem.
Does the underarm side seam match up?

I think your fabric choice is the key to that decision.
Both sew up beautifully in a draping fabric (wool, silk) but I think the Late Lunch is a bee’s whisker more flattering in a firmer woven (linen, chambray)

I wonder if the collar doesn’t look a bit snappier in a woven too.

Just my opinion, of course.

I was also going to suggest the Camas blouse 🙂
