Polartec Power Stretch fabric is awesome! That’s what all my winter running clothes are made from.;)

I’ve finished the garden party top. It was a lovley sew, I very much enjoyed just following the instructions and making no changes this time 🙂
I think I’ll spend some time Doing buttons and buttonholes today. I don’t normally leave them but I have a Seashore sundress and an Art Museum Vest that both need them.

I saw footage last night on the news. Having a huge dumping of snow would be like having floods here – complete disaster!

I pray for the families of those that have lost their lives. It would be very tragic to lose someone just because of a huge downfall of snow.

But it is wonderful to see such community spirit with the help each other is…[Read more]

Hilarious! Meleliza I don’t think it is too corny because you are using elements that are the same not dressing exactly alike, right?

I think it will be a very sweet tribute to the day and event.

It is indeed very cute Becky. I have made one in a knit and one in a woven and the knit is worn ten times more often. In fact I haven’t seen the woven one since I made it! I think I will dig it out of her wardrobe to recycle because the fabric is so nice.

I was pretty much knackered yesterday so did alot of sitting. During that time I actually…[Read more]

If it’s an issue with a place not being able to print just one page of a PDF, you can always split the file and send just the page(s) that are the large format sheets.

I do this with the full version of Adobe Acrobat. It has the option of deleting pages in a PDF. Save the file under a new name and delete all pages but the last.

Costs me $9.00 in Canada at my local print shop. Call a place that prints blue prints. You’ve been working on this for a long time.

What about these from Land’s End? They’re no longer for sale, and the reviews are sketchy, but the picture might be enough to get you started. I swear Sophie had a pair like these and I loved them.

Oh Jenny, that is going to be horrible if the temperature gets that high. That’s a lot of flooding. Fingers crossed for everyone.

I wear these kind of leggings almost every day – I’m wearing them right now! Hopefully the attached will show you what the two sides of the fabric look like. I did a quick search and found yardage here: http://www.nancysnotions.com/product/kelly+polartec+power+stretch+fabric.do

I can tell you what I do, I am not sure if it is the proper way.
Lay your garment out and let it relax. Trace the pattern piece on to the garment, a sharpie is good.
Try snipping somewhere, not needed, on the garment and see how fast it unravels. If it is not too bad, cut and sew promptly. If it frays a lot, cut, zigzag edges first and then sew…[Read more]

The plan is to stick the feet up whenever possible. I just have to figure out how I can do that while I am sewing!

We are keeping the kids home today due to our very late night last night but it is not going to stop me from sewing. I want to keep going on the jacket and then get on with the cut out things sitting and waiting patiently.

You know it is funny, Nicole. She said to me last night that the happiest thing that happened today (yesterday) was the fact that we had finally embraced her and accepted her. I don’t know why she thought there was animosity because there certainly wasn’t. It was just disappointment at the speedy action from fil to jump from losing a wife straight…[Read more]
