Oh, a big yes to doll clothes! My daughter hasn’t been hugely interested in her doll, but her grandma is taking her out for the full American Girl experience so she’s getting more excited. I’ve been saving the larger scraps from her clothes so I can make coordinating ones for her doll. Might be a good way to extend my shelf life as the in house seamstress?

@roundtheworldgirl It is so great that you get to do this so soon. My eldest was not a dolly girl and I am hoping very much that the baby will be. I learned to sew by making clothes for my dolls so I am looking forward to.

I have finished the main sewing of Noah’s shirt. I used the Jalie men’s shirt pattern for this and some cloud 9 fabric that…[Read more]

The size will determine my answer @frances-suzanne
Up to size 2T, yes. After that I found it perfect.

Or here’s a thought, since those reading here are probably interested in Oliver & S products, try one of these:

Perhaps the other companies’ sites would be good places to advertise their products and sales, as I…[Read more]

@needlewoman I made the raven hoodie for Imogen in pink faux fur. I actually sized it up and it fit her for a good two years. She had outgrown the sizing but was still in the Oliver and s ranges. I found it so easy to put together and if truth be known, I think those patterns run a big bigger than oliver and s. I made the finch shorts also but…[Read more]

Nicole has definitely made the pants! She has made a number of their patterns for her girls and loves them 🙂

You are marvellous Fiona! All these things for the children are just lovely. I had to pop onto the forum just to see thumbnails because we are currently experiencing a lag in internet speed, so the emailed pictures you sent haven’t loaded enough.

All of them are wonderful! Lucky kids and parents I say!

Nothing like a mom who likes fun, colorful clothes to inspire you, eh?

I’ve finished off the first of five bear carriers, the other still need buttons and velcro. So tempted to take a break and make a new dress, to add to the closet full of pretty dresses that are worn once a week, at most. Sensible is sensible, but it isn’t much fun.

Yes, I noticed this pattern, too! Very stylish, and looks very straightforward to sew.

In same vein, Clever Charlotte has a 20% discount on their patterns until Christmas Eve. I’m guessing the stock will go quickly so be ‘foxy’, and go to the website now.

I’m seriously considering purchasing the Raven hoodie/pants; has anyone sewn this pattern?…[Read more]

Some further and better particulars about the attached pictures: Class picnic blouse, size 8, and a modified Hopscotch Skirt, also size 8. Fabric is ‘Geek Chic’ c/o Riley Blake, and aqua pinwale corduroy. I eliminated the front button panel and cut the skirt front on the fold. Very proud of my first ‘takeaway’ pockets. Miss J’s grandmother had to…[Read more]

Hi everybody, I’ve been sewing quite a few things – chiefly, the Class Picnic blouses I cut out while dog-sitting. I have attached pictures of my recent ‘triumphs’ because I cannot load them to Flickr for love nor money. I hope you will take the time to inspect. The stripey outfit is a size 3 Marimeko top/leggings that I couldn’t resist because…[Read more]
