Sew Alongs 10 years ago@blacktabi: Oh, too bad! If you can carefully unpick the dart and shorten it a bit I think it will be fine. The darts do look a bit long in your photo. I hope it works. Double gauze is such a beautiful (and somewhat expensive) fabric–it would be nice if you could fix it. Keep us posted, will you?

Sew Alongs 10 years ago@lexilouwho, you can absolutely leave it sleeveless! A bias facing is a great way to finish a sleeveless armhole. I would only suggest that you check to be sure the armhole will be the right size–often when you make something sleeveless it’s a good idea to raise the underarm a bit so it’s not too revealing. I hope that helps.

Sew Alongs 10 years agoHi @Jessamyb, sorry for the silence! I’m not familiar with Pellon 906F, but for most fabrics (including double gauze) I use the lightest interfacing I can find. Many stores carry something that’s featherweight or called something similar, and sometimes you can even find silk chiffon fusible interfacing. The important thing to remember is that the…[Read more]

@thejennigirl how did the costume go?
I have almost finished the culottes. i have had many interruptions and disruptions that have put the sewing on the back burner. I just have the waistband facings to stitch down and they’re done.
Imogen needs a new swimsuit and in a hurry, so I have downloaded some Jalie patterns pdf style and plan to make…[Read more]

Sew Alongs 10 years agoVanahsa, I’m so glad you’re joining us! The FBA is really quite simple, and we’re here (also in Spain–we live in Madrid) if you need anything. Let us know if you have questions!

Sew Alongs 10 years agoAddie, good question! There is quite a bit of design ease in this pattern, so you are correct that you may not need to do the FBA. If you’ve checked the fit and it seems to drape fine, you’re probably safe to go ahead with it as is. But if you’re unsure, it might be a good idea to try adding the sleeves and placket just to be sure. Based on the…[Read more]

@sarvi Thanks! We were quite surprised and she is so excited!
@justsewit Thank you Tamara! I am ordering the DVD’s so I can get a good idea of what to choose. The trouble is, I have always hated the Gene Wilder version. I love the story, but he gives me the creeps (in any film) so this will be some tough research for me. Johnny Depp on the other…[Read more]

I have made the Sailboat and the Hopscotch in denim and both were worn heavily. I do like the idea of a Swingset though!

Oh my! What an honour to have a leading role in the school play! We were just watching the 1970’s version of the movie, the one with Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka the other day.
I would say that costume in particular, for me, epitomises the very character!
