Bees at a spelling bee sounds so cute!
I’ve traced off Jalie 3244, footie pj’s, and a hood from Ottobre. I’m making it in red and black coral fleece, super cozy 🙂 -

Today’s sewing consisted of sewing three Layette shirts in assembly line fashion. I currently have them in the hand sewing basket waiting for their neckbindings to be handstitched down.
I also managed to handsew the lining of the Cape Ann bubble and have also sewn the buttonholes. This is also in the handsewing basket waiting for buttons to go…[Read more]

I know what I do but I am not sure what it is called….
I stitch a small stitch into the sash ( 2mm) and that goes to a longer running stitch in the dress lining (1 cm), pulling so it is firm but does not pucker.
I will see if I can find a picture for you.

Really nice shears, needles, and pins, maybe a really nice thread for hand sewing delicate items? I’d be interested in something nice that I can’t get at JoAnn — not a consumable staple but something upgraded.

Yes a buttonhole chisel. I’ve always wanted one of those. Good quality pins that are sharp and won’t snag fabric. Sewing sheers! Liesl if you do decide to carry them, could you allow for us lefties please? It is very difficult find good left handed sewing scissors (sheers). Duckbill scissors would be great too.

I have one I inherited from my Grandma and I’ve only ever used it for heavy oaktag, so I’m sure it wouldn’t be effective on fabric by now. But I hadn’t ever considered using one on fabric until now. Nicole, please do show us what you use! Is it something you’d like to see us carry? I’m very curious.
And while we’re talking about tools, is there…[Read more]

How about the Roller Skate dress? Eliminate the elastic waist; it may work for you.

Glad you got it Nicole! I was such a slacker taking so long to send it off.

Absolutely Rebecca.
I would lay the bodice with the skirt and cut as one piece.
I have a tute here if you would like an idea of how it goes together.http://fiveandcounting-motherof5.blogspot.com.au/2012/08/you-cant-make-that-pattern-up-in-that.html

My hubby loves a baggy shirt!! That’s why he won’t let me buy them for him – apparently I get the wrong size.
Glad you were able to get some sewing done Trixie slept well.
Its weighing day here for little Miss Chloe and I have decided that should it be a huge increase, I will start drafting the next sizes in preparation. I am hoping not though…[Read more]
