I will see what I can find out for you Reeni. May I copy/paste your question?

Oh my goodness, that post took an hour to load!

I think if I was to sew a coat from fleece I would use a simple pattern with fewer seams.

Something like this https://www.flickr.com/photos/motherof5/sets/72157627425463919/

These patterns are very basic, mind. You will need to get your ‘O+S’ on in regard to clipping and grading seams there are no directions for that.
However, with fewer seams…[Read more]

Thank you MC.

We are on school holidays and it is lovely. Our weather is still very mild so the Fab Five are taking full advantage and packing food into rucksacks and disappearing into the bush for the day.

Lidia and Matilda have taught themselves ‘knitting’ with a plastic loom thing. It makes a perfectly acceptable farm beanie so it is very…[Read more]

Welcome Lucy!
I am keen to see the LTTS cape in a quilted fabric.

I am sewing a polo shirt for my husband but after that I have 1/2 dozen nurses capes to make for the school students for ANZAC day. They should be nice and quick, the pattern is based on a boomerang pillow case.

@Reeni, exactly!
They punch through two layers of denim.

@sayiamyou, yes, I do too.

I use Deb/My North’s directions for bagging a lining. Whenever I go it alone, I stuff up, I go back to Deb’s blog and it works!

Try the help forum on Flickr. I have had good success there.

By all means, sew it with fleece if that is what you have, but it is such a lovely sew and fleece doesn’t really wear that well….
One thing to be aware of is that it is a pattern for a woven, not a knit so you will have to be careful for the pieces stretching out of shape.

If you don’t want to go the vintage route (sizing issues, etc.) I second the comment about the School Photo Dress. People often call that the Jackie O. dress. A few easy modifications will get you exactly what you want.

Definitely vintage sewing patterns on eBay
I may speak from experience …..

It sounds as if they need a farm stay. 🙂

Finished the jeans and they fit really well, I am so pleased.
I ended up taking 20cms from the leg and added a few cm’s to the waist but they look really good and he likes them.
Win!

Next up a KwikSew polo top and some knit shorts for Jed.

And then some exciting sewing, a hot pink linen Garden Party dress for a special OS, O+S sweet girl.
