@cammipatterson welcome! So glad you introduced yourself. It is great to read a bit about everyone and their story.
Please show us the metro t shirt dresses when you’ve made them so we can all celebrate your efforts. It is nice to have a visual record for future reference too.
Looking forward to reading about what you are sewing.

The season for sewing has changed
My skirts and I are estranged
But my jackets and coats
Are garnering votes
Time for clothing, to be, exchanged.I just want to sit down and sew!

Nicole replied to the topic What are you sewing now? in the forum off topic 8 years ago
I finished my turn on the #sewingrota on a high with some gorgeous back jeans for me!
Three pairs of jeans, a denim shirt and four tee’s were a much needed injection of clothing in my wardrobe.Now I am on to formal sewing, Zara’s first. Some gorgeous Gatsby inspired sequinned tulle.

Watch your sleeve cap, it may need a little pinched from it, it is easy to do after sewing.
I ave found (with a longer tee/tee dress) you can get some odd things happen at the shoulder due to the extra weight of the extra fabric. -

Hi @cammipatterson what a great starting project!
I haven’t made an above the knee t shirt dress but I have used the metro pattern to make a t shirt maxi dress for my teenage daughter.
What I did was measure where she wanted her dress to finish and then I made the adjustment to the pattern by adding the amount of length and cutting through the…[Read more]

Agreed! I have to go back and search for that sailboat top… But yes you certainly are correct, who knew that pockets would be perfect to smock on? Gathering gives the clue.
And of course there are more than just the counterchange and geometric/ English smocking.
I haven’t yet tried using ribbon but want to one day.

@sewgirl23 if you look at the line of the style of garment, it will give you an indication of where the smocking can go. I have used smocking on the carousel dress, the school photo dress and the school days jacket, not to mention the croquet dress.
For a motif the carousel dress would be perfect. You could also do a picture smocked panel and…[Read more]

@sewgirl23
I think the 2+2 would be gorgeous. Just under the tie, instead of the tab.
ASM Blue did a gorgeous Ice Cream blouse. I would use gingham, so I could stitch the squares, rather then pleat.I still love French knots.
I think simple smocking looks cleaner and more modern.

Hi @kirstylilian whilst my original question has already been answered, I don’t see why you couldn’t contact Oliverands by email regarding your dilemma. I also suspect this question has also been asked before, or was it you? I’m sure I remember reading about this before….
Anyway, if you have the printed pattern, surely there would be some sort…[Read more]

Of course they are useful @liesl😀 With six months until our summer, I have plenty of time to collect the items required. But not only that, this sewalong will still be up so I can sewalong then too! It looks like I will be learning new skills with this as in all the years I have been sewing, I have never actually made a swimsuit for myself and…[Read more]

Thanks for this, @snoutfair! It’s really helpful to us to know that these are useful to you, and the more feedback we receive the more likely we are to them again in the future. Thanks also for the reminder regarding the elastic; I’ll drop another email to Butterick to see if they can give me a number now!

That’s a good idea — I read much more than I comment, or I get busy but bookmark things for future use — but it must seem like radio silence from the other end!

Interesting, Sarvi! Thanks for the explanation.
Hey, will everyone who followed/follows the sew-along do me a favor and leave a quick note here telling us you made use of it? It will help a lot with deciding whether to do more sew-alongs in the future if we can gauge the level of interest and participation.
Cheers!
