Hi Liesl, if you enlarge the McCall’s picture you can see the quilting.

Out of curiosity, how many of you are part of the Building Block Dress Facebook group? Is anyone here NOT part of it?

Liesl Gibson replied to the topic help me find this fabric? in the forum off topic 7 years ago
Thanks, @clt3! It’s the quilting that’s throwing me off. I wanted something drapey-ish for a dress. But I’m still thinking that it must be available in another substrate someplace, because the original outfit doesn’t appear to be quilted.

Yes, it’s still available but won’t be manufactured anymore when they run out, so if you’re interested do hurry! Thanks for the link, @sarvi. xo

@deanna, I purchased a pair of blue jeans for S a while ago that had a second layer of fabric at the knees. It was simply sewn behind the main fabric at the location of the knees before the jeans were constructed, and it reinforced the fabric very nicely. I thought it was a great idea. I wish we still had them so I could take a photo for you!

I’m so glad that you’re all happy with it so far. We’ll have lots more fun things for you related to the book starting this week. Yesterday I cut out a new, longer version of the navy long-sleeved version (Dress B) that S was wearing in the book. It’s her favorite, and it was was too short after her growth spurt last year. Kaufman makes this…[Read more]

I was running the bath for my almost 21 month old daughter last night. I was out of the room getting her towel and things and when I came back I saw that she had shifted the bathmat which seemed to be wet and was standing at the chest of drawers trying to get hold of a new mat. I asked her did we need a new mat? She said “yes a towel” to which I…[Read more]

How exciting @avashmava! I love baby girls and their layettes😉 having a recent one myself who is now a toddler and in need of size 2 (already?) clothes she’s tall for her 21 months of age but slimmer than my two older children (and has waaay more of an outdoorsy nature to boot!)
The kwiksew 3586 was really quite blousy for my taste – I will use…[Read more]
