hopscotch dress! Easy to sew, especially if you have a serger. Easy to wear as it’s made from knit fabric 🙂

Roller Skate is the quickest and seems to look fantastic regardless of the fabric used. The scissor ranking is a pretty good indicator of how long a dress will take. I don’t find the 3 scissors patterns harder, just longer to do because of the details.

I’m back to having another go at my shorts muslin. This one is an improvement but I’d say I’ve got at least 2 muslins to go to be really happy with the fit.
I’m also sewing up another messenger bag for Mum for Christmas 🙂

I’m sewing a fairy tale dress for Sophie. Sized it up to a 14, and did a sway back adjustment. Made a couple of muslins of the top only. The fashion fabric is Chinese brocade so I decided to add a circle skirt rather than the gathered one. Lazily decided not to find the pattern instructions and have been enjoying the challenge.

I don’t know what happened! I wanted to cry for a few hours, then Aaron came home and tinkered with things and all is well. For all I know it was just a fuse or a surge protector being hyperactive — no lightning that I noticed, and it happened well after the big winds had died down. Electricity is a wonderful thing but to me, largely mysterious.…[Read more]

How did the storm affect it Sarvi, was it a lighting strike? We lost a cordless phone once, due to that.

Argh, I have a Puppet Show cut out for the puppet show we’re going to tomorrow and the storm knocked out my sewing machine. I hope it’s resettable and not really fried.

Sounds like a plan, have fun sewing.

I haven’t made the size 7 so I can’t speak to the specifics of that size, but I do remember after the first one I didn’t bother with the gathering stitches, the sleeve fit perfectly and I didn’t have to ease anything. I can see how the accumulation of pretty tiny deviations could add up quickly and lead to a sleeve too small for the armscye.

Masha! That’s such wonderful news! On home soil (and no need to fly home for a birth because you are already there) surrounded by family. What a blessing! I hope everything is progressing beautifully. How are you feeling?

Oh, wow!
Congratulations Masha, so excited for you!
The more you have the easier it gets, in my opinion. You focus on important issues, nurturing and nutrition, and less on perfect floors.

Thank you Ladies, Hugo is very grateful for your congratulations.
