And they do for sure @withloveheidi only they were a tad shorter than I had anticipated and I didn’t like how the front fly turned out – there isn’t adequate allowance and it looked it.

Thank you so much! I’m just starting to get back on my feet, and it’s been nice to have lots of reading to keep my occupied during my recovery. Many weeks to go before I’m fully myself again, so I appreciate any reading suggestions you send my way! xo

I recently had this problem as well. As it turned out, the hook itself needed to be replaced because it had bent. I’d recommend bringing it to a good repair shop who can analyze the problem for you. It’s probably best if you can show them exactly what’s happening. Now that mine has been replaced it’s running like a dream–for the first time in…[Read more]

Are you wanting to use Fairy Tale/Book Report because those are the patterns you already own? If you need to find out whether that exact combo has been done before, I’d suggest either editing the title of this thread, or posting a new question, in hopes of catching the eye of somebody who’s done that specific thing. I did a search of the flickr…[Read more]

Do you have an image of a particular dress that feels the most Little House to you? The Playdate seems closest to me, and wouldn’t require any mashing, but you might have a different image in mind:

She loves that dress and is wearing it for a second season *bonus*

Hallo @hannahjosie, this is the bit where you have an internet random giving advice so take it with care 😉
I had a similar problem with a second hand overlocker (serger) I purchased.

Hi @spinny , I have only made the largest size http://fiveandcounting-motherof5.blogspot.com.au/2015/05/lovely-girl.html and I had to add a few inches to make it hit my daughters knees and she is short to average height.
