Sewing for Yourself 9 years agoHi Lisa.
I love love love that pattern and your fabric choice is gorgeous but…. may I suggest you definitely request a sample?
I regularly run the gauntlet of unusual fabric choices but the description does say heavy and there is no mention of apparel at all.
You would also have some pattern matching to do with the plaid.
Also, it is dry clean…[Read more] -

Sewing for Yourself 9 years agoHello! Not sure if I’m posting in the correct place but I’ll give this a whirl! (Update, I appear to be posting in the correct space now after an initial error). I would like to make the Caramel Jacket by Waffle patterns for myself. Will a fabric that is 9.2 oz per square yard be too heavy? It is described as upholstery fabric so I’m think…[Read more]

Will a fabric that is 9.2 oz per square yard be too heavy? It is described as upholstery fabric so I’m thinking maybe its not appropriate for a jacket.

Sewing for Yourself 9 years agoWell, my quest for the perfect fit is improving almost daily, as I make more and more mistakes…no, seriously I am finally getting g to grips wit it, I think. I’ve made some Oliver+s patterns too of course, a new bubble dress for my granddaughter Rose and teaching my daughter to sew the baby layette pattern for the new baby, Chloe. But also lots…[Read more]

Sewing for Yourself 9 years agoFirst tip from me, when I sew a muslin, I put my seams on the out side, easier to alter.
#1 It appears you need to take fabric from the back piece, not the front. Unpick and move the back until you get the right fit, then pin and re-mark and trim to your new seams.
#2 That bust dart looks pretty good and your front arm looks nice!
#3 I wonder…[Read more]

Sewing for Yourself 9 years agoI didn’t expect them to show up here! But that seems convenient.
I’m planning to make this blouse over and over – button downs are a wardrobe staple for me. Since I’ll be using the pattern a lot, I want to get the fit exactly right. I made this out of an old sheet, and there’s some inconsistency about right and wrong side of the fabric because…[Read more]

Sewing for Yourself 9 years agoI can’t see any problems with that Ellen. If you get ticked off, blame me 😉
If you are nervous, perhaps post a link to a Flickr photo and people can comment on that?

Sewing for Yourself 9 years agoI’ve been working on a muslin for the Sewaholic Granville and I *think* I’ve got it to a point where it almost works. I would love to post some pictures for fitting advice, but I wanted to check if it’s Ok first, since it’s not a Leisl&Co/Lisette pattern. Would that be all right?
Leisl&Co and Todd, this is your space, and if you want it reserved…[Read more]

Sewing for Yourself 9 years agoHello everyone 🙂
After perusing Pinterest boards for Cappuccino and seeing some tops with beautiful big V -necks in stunning fabrics I am wondering if there is a way to make the neck a deeper and wider “V” ? I have seen a few tunic tops with stunning ribbon-like v-necks just like the Cappuccino and wonder if it can be done.
Has anyone…[Read more]
