D’oh! Were we not supposed to reveal, yet? I can make another!

They had both linen and merino jersey on sale — I got a bit of each. I’d been wanting to make a jersey top and linen slacks to match a pair of unusual shoes I found for my daughter, and they had the perfect match. They were so lovely and helpful, too — their receipt includes a little card with care instructions.

Ok, good tip — I have some thread a bit like that in a bright color I don’t often use — will try it, thanks!
Sarvi replied to the topic Marking the markings–argh!! in the forum off topic 9 years ago

Gals, any tips for marking wool? I’m off to google tailor’s tacks in the meanwhile.
Sarvi replied to the topic Ethical concerns in the forum off topic 9 years ago

Thanks @ann-maree for the great tip, I visited yesterday and there was a sale, too, got some wonderful fabrics at great prices!

I would think so, but I’m not an expert fitter — @motherof5?
Sarvi replied to the topic Ethical concerns in the forum off topic 9 years ago

Ooh, great tip! That’s close to me, will be paying a visit.

I thought I had step by step photos of this, but can’t seem to find them. I think Patricia (whose screen name I’ve forgotten, sorry!) has a pic of the Cinema side panel pattern piece, where the adjustment happens, slashed and spread.

Girlfriend, if we lived closer I would be shoving my kid into your hand-me-down stream practically by force and would be only too happy to hand down any of our goodies that appeal.
Sarvi replied to the topic Look at These! in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 9 years ago

Oh, that is wonderful, what a great look head to toe.
Sarvi started the topic Used shoes — buying, selling, donating in the forum off topic 9 years ago

As parents quickly learn, small children’s shoes are outgrown while there’s still a lot of life left in them. Depending on habits (at one point, my daughter was using the top of the toe as a brake when tricycling, ruining shoes quickly) and frequency of wear (during the school year only two pairs of shoes get much wear) the shoes might be…[Read more]

Maggie I loved your Paddington set so much. Makes me wish I’d tracked down a better lining fabric. I’m hoping to make a suitcase following your lead, to have as a backup costume for this year. Her plans are entering the change-every-second phase.

Haha, I wish the tractor incident had happened, it would make a great story! I’m afraid it’s a hyperbolic tractor 🙂
Sarvi replied to the topic Salt water sandals – your thoughts? in the forum off topic 9 years ago

Nicole is spot on. You could run them over with a tractor and they’d still look good. They were my favorite shoes to wear as a child, and now my kid always has a pair. She doesn’t give them the same hard wear I did since she’s usually wearing school shoes, but I’ve never known a pair to give out before being outgrown.

Ooh, yum, I’ll have to take a look at that!
Sarvi replied to the topic Fairy Tale sizing help? Skip the darts? in the forum oliver + s: fairy tale 9 years ago

Yay! I’m glad you went for it, doesn’t it feel great to try something big?
Sarvi replied to the topic Toddler Party Food in the forum Cooking and Baking 9 years ago

Tons of great ideas above. I think the parents will appreciate having some healthy options and the kids will probably not especially notice anything but the cake. How much work do you want to put into it?

I make this semi often and it is a big hit, but it’s a fair amount of work. You can make it go much quicker by using premade puff pastry and…[Read more]
