The body measurement chart for the Building Block Dress pattern is found on page 40 of the book in the lower left corner of the page.

We have also added it to the website’s product page for the book now.

@krisherber the body measurements for the basis pattern are given on page 40 of the book in the lower left corner of the page.

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]

Oh, this is amazing! Thank you so much, @timpson! @Robin, if you have a chance to look for it, I’m very interested in it. I’ve been told it’s a knit, but it doesn’t really look like it in the photo, does it?

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]

I’ve made the cargos with reinforced knees.
This photo links to the flicker tutorial I made for the double knees on the cargos.

As soon as I understood what the book was I thought of that tee you made, Lightning 🙂

Liesl, Fabricana is in my neck of the woods. I can check out the one in Coquitlam and Richmond if you would like.

I’m glad to hear that, @thesimpson5! I’m hoping that we’ll be able to make an announcement about a women’s book very soon. Keep your fingers crossed!

I’m so glad to hear you say that, @mama_knowles! @lightningmcstitch, I hope yours arrives soon. xo

I’m so glad you’re all excited about this! We’re going to have a lot of fun with it, I promise.

Thanks, @Tineke! That’s a great start. I appreciate your help and I’ll let you know if I locate it.

Con denim still hasn’t arrived!☹️ I am continuing on with my kwik sew tailored rayon shirt.

@Liesl no worries! We had enjoyed exchanges rate well past parity for a good while that now that we aren’t it seems a hard slog to make the decision. This is an absolute no brainer!

@renee I had to laugh at the express postage being about $76 US ! To get to Australia in like 3 days! I am happy to wait a little while because it is worth the wait…[Read more]

@theartsypaul yes there is. It’s called the Building Block Dress. If you look at some of the recent blog posts on the book, you’ll see it discussed there.

Next week 🙁
I might have a good look and see if I can make it work before the Facebook deadline.

How long until pay day, Heidi? Because I’d hate for you to miss out on the Facebook group. We’ll be doing lots here and on the blog, too, but the live stuff works best on FB.

I’ve done it, too. I think you might be able to squeeze it in if you’re determined!

Thanks for the heads up Tamara! I agree it will be worth every dollar, but will have to wait until next payday 🙁
I’m really looking forward to the book, when in the mood I really enjoy pattern manipulation, and I think my nieces will all be getting “beautiful dresses” for Christmas 🙂

Ugh, @justsewit, I’m so sorry about the cost! I do hope it will be every bit worth it. I certainly wrote it intending it to be that way. Thanks for trusting me!
