  • I have not lengthened this skirt @ginny3w but I lengthen one similar for my girls.

    I cut and added length at the hip.

    I would caution adding too much length as I think it would spoil the line of the skirt.
    Perhaps think about your styling? Black opaque tights are great if you are concerned about flashing your knickers.
    As for you age, it matters…[Read more]

    @sanitystitches I haven’t but I did talk someone through it (can’t remember who though, sorry).
    We decided it would be best to cut and add length at about 4 inches from the cuff to keep the nice shape of the sleeve.
    It has a bit of a bias thing going on so it may need trying and tweaking before you hem it.

    I hope that helps.

  • Thank you for the back up @enbee 🙂
    @gretam it is my absolute pleasure.

    I have two bags to make over the school hol’s. I will be in touch, Heidi, I am sure.

    I have finished Matilda’s turn on the rota and I am on to Lidia. First up, a Sketchbook shirt with the Mandarin collar in Liberty.

    I hope Murray is recovering @justsewit.

    The school year has finished for us. We had our Presentation Night, Thursday night and it was a huge success.

    Matilda was deliciously bouncy, dancing in her classes Beach Boy medley. Her neon Class Picnic set was just the job.

    I hope he recovers quickly Tamara.

    I am sure the community will rally around you. When my husband nearly severed his hand with a chain saw we had a rota of community support, community organised. There was food, cut wood and offers of drives to to city (I am not a confident driver)
    Country towns have great spirit.

    I did four hours of ironing last night.
    Slightly less enamoured of it at present.

    We are heading into very hot weekend, 40d+.
    Thank goodness for our swimming pool.

    I get very nervous as we live on the edge of a National Park, bush fire risk is always there.

    I have some very exciting news. My husband purchased me a van for Christmas.
    I have been researching then for two years and I am so excited to have one.
    It seats 12 adults…[Read more]

    How kind of you Helena.

    I finished Trixie’s turn of the sewing rota and I am getting stuck into Tildy’s.

    I drafted off the School Bus tee, size 4 with the length of a 7.

    What are you sewing now? 🙂
