Yay, maths! Geometry! Can we include some algebra too? 🙂 Just to work out correct angle to sew the band together 🙂

The trick is in the neck binding. The join is sewn in a ‘V’ to give you the neat finish.

I buy Tefal, nice and hot and lots of steam.
Fairly tough too, my current one has survived being knocked over by a football in flight!Good to know — my inherited Rowenta is hyperactive and has burned through more things than I care to think about. No wonder I inherited it. Definitely in the market for a hot, but not too hot, iron, sometime soon.

Would you not just … cut a V? What am I missing?

Thanks so much, everyone, for chiming in with all your different viewpoints and experiences. Hopefully it goes without saying, but just to reiterate, nothing I’ve written about my choices should be read as a comment on anybody else’s choices.

Oh (slaps forehead) i have that one – it has a racerback style tank too from memory.
Could we please have a men’s version of the sketchbook pattern? Enlarging is a nightmare and I could accept my nine year old wearing Liesl and co because it would look the same as the kid’s version. I cannot jusitfy buying men’s clothes for him though.

Haha! I need to do that! I saw this gorgeous dress a friend was wearing at church a few weeks ago but of course didnt have the camera – she bought it in New York!
Another way of doing what Katybellabug said…. Using up all available hard drive space on saving pictures of garments you want to create!
When you have sketches by your kids of things…[Read more]

When you walk out of a shop, not loaded up with bags, but with camera shots of everything you want to recreate.

When you’re on a camping trip and at least two (out of 7) the kids at any one time are wearing something you’ve sewn. And none of them are your own kids 🙂

Sarvi replied to the topic How much is too much? in the forum off topic 9 years ago
A couple of you ladies have touched on the very good point that even when you receive in abundance, there is still a creative itch that one wants to scratch. I guess I’d never ask myself, how many poems are too many? How many paintings are too many? And yet even though I put as much if not more time and effort into my child’s clothes, I still feel…[Read more]

I bombed out! Ran out of time was away from the machines (and my stash for a few days and now have to make clothes for the boy so he looks decent for his sister’s christening.

I wonder if there is a way to make the dress but have a detachable portion to reduce it to a tunic? Wouldn’t that be fun to work out?
Up to my second muslin for the sketchbook shirt in size 12 with heaps of mods.
