The pinwheel would drape so nicely in Liberty!
I’ve sealed together 2 sets of 5 panels and pressed in the box pleats. Now I need to wait until spotlight is open so I can get some sage green thread to sew the pleats in with. I’m really happy with how the skirt looks.
Also this evening I began an applique of the new Star Wars droid BB-8. After…[Read more]

I confess I was hopi g to grab a moment to sew one last item for 2015 but didn’t get there. However, I am starting the sewing year off with a bang as I have traced six patterns in the new size required and am currently dilberating over which would be more suitable for my lovely and very precious Liberty lawn. Amongst them is the Pinwheel dress and…[Read more]

This is the first day I’ve felt up to sewing 🙂 I drafted Anna’s coronation skirt a few days before Christmas and cut out two thirds of the pieces. Now to cut the last 20 pieces and to get onto sewing.
P.S. The skirt will be made up of about 50 pieces, excluding the badminton waistband I’m going to add. I’m making a 10 panel skirt!

The only time I truly saw my parents fight is when my mom found my dad cutting linoleum floor tile with her good scissors. (As kids we knew using the sewing scissors would be punishable by no less than death.)

Woo hoo, it is not a blazer but may satisfy those yearning for one….

I remember that style jacket being very popular in the 70’s.They were often fastened with a frog closure.
Would that work for you?

Or you could finish the edge and then baste an open end zipper under the front edge and then topstitch in place?

I hope that is some help?

I love this skirt too! Especially on little girls with their cute toddler swagger😀 It’s an absolute keeper of a pattern for sure.

Bahahaha😂

Oh @thejennigirl😂 That sounds all too familiar. I have a confession to make! I ran off with my daughter’s sewing scissors because they were sharper than mine – and she hasn’t noticed yet😉😱

There is one little problem though with “Pheobe” – she has measurements that would accomodate a size that Chloë would wear but she is long. She is actually the size for a 3 year old so I am thinking of sneaking a little one into the mix just so I can play dress up with a life sized doll that doesn’t wriggle and get dirty before the photos are…[Read more]

@housecall, if I may be so bold, here is a tute http://fiveandcounting-motherof5.blogspot.com.au/2014/03/the-garden-party-tutorial-part-one.html

Unless your ribbon is very firm I would be inclined to sew it on top rather then replace the yoke and waistband.

*Love* this pattern, have fun.

OH wow! Your own child mannequin!
It’s great to hear Noah has had a good year 🙂
Although I’m not sewing I’m practising my knitting. I’m learning the continental method and it seems to work much better for me than the regular method.
