Thanks honeymadeit!
Now I have news! The white vinegar was a huge success! The white bubble dress has been saved.
So make white vinegar your friend people – when you have stubborn and horrendous yallow marks left from blue fabric marker that is. I am not a fan of clover blue oens after discovering my chaco but I was running out chaco marker so…[Read more]

It all depends on where and how it is stored I would think also.

Our school is tiny (only 130 students) but I am very proud to share that my son, Hugo, won the Student of the Year award last night, at our Presentation Night.
He made a brilliant off-the-cuff speech, so very very proud of him.

I can feel your frustration but your over riding love for the pattern.
My special friend Deb gave me the tip of three rows of gathers to help smooth and ease a sleeve cap. I wonder if that may help here? -

I think there are a lot of variables. I have some knit that is easily 20 years old and fine!
Wash it and give the fabric a good stretch, if it doesn’t recover its shape it has probably had its day.

Tamara replied to the topic Would this pattern be appropriate for a black formal? in the forum liesl + co: bistro dress 9 years ago
I would do a muslin like stated above just so that you can get the fit and the skirt correct. You certainly don’t want the skirt to be tight all the way down. There is a way to slash and spread without altering the waist – cut up to but not through the seam allowance, but I am trusting you know this already.
Good luck and please show us the end…[Read more]

Oooh, looking at the size chart you may be pushing it… but since you already have it cut, I would chance it.
Maybe do a narrower side seam? -

Hi Audrey
I can’t see why the Bistro dress couldn’t be lengthened. I suggest making a muslin first to see how it would go.
As an alternative, and if you have the pattern, you could also use the attache dress. This may achieve more of a flowing look to the skirt (as per you linked photo).
Either pattern would be perfect. What is the time length…[Read more]

Thankyou dubhels2003, you are kind. But I admit I am having an absolute ball sewing them all. Who doesn’t love sewing baby things?
I think we are getting there with the stain removal! White vinegar is magic stuff! I just can’t understand why it went like that though because I did a test on a piece if that fabric and everything. It came out of the…[Read more]

I tend to go back to “Fit for Real People”, Palmer/Pletsch Publishing when I get stuck with fitting.

Becky, I checked out my notes on this pattern and I have made the large size and the small and I have not made mention of any discrepancies.
I am sorry not to be more help. - Load More
