help, help!! i am making the sailboat pants in age 4 and i am having big leg problems! the front of the pants are much narrower than the back, it’s almost like they are a totally different size. I bought the pattern online and printed it off very carefully, I have triple checked and I cut out exactly where the age 4 size was marked for the front…[Read more]

Hi B.T.,
Did you get an answer to the difference in leg widths? I haven’t bought a pattern yet but was encouraged by a friend to buy the
(first) book.

Oh my I was thrilled to see your sew a long! I haven’t made a swimsuit before and picked up a pattern for the two piece for my daughter – I have the bottoms all most finished! Super helpful visuals and process. Thanks! After I finish this one, I’ll try my hand at making a the one piece for myself (gulp)!

Sew Alongs 8 years agoHi @Liesl
Just a comment to add to the others here re: the usefulness of the sewalong. I knew I wouldn’t be making the swimsuit until around now for my summer vacation, but I already liked your patterns when they first went on sale, and, honestly, the fact I knew there was a sewalong was a major factor in going ahead and taking the plunge into…[Read more]

Sew Alongs 8 years agoI definitely think these sew a longs are helpful! Even if people do not make the patterns during the time frame (like me, I made 6360 afterwards) I always look for these when tackling a new pattern. The tips and tricks are so useful!

Tamara replied to the topic Smocking in the forum
Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 8 years agoAgreed! I have to go back and search for that sailboat top… But yes you certainly are correct, who knew that pockets would be perfect to smock on? Gathering gives the clue.
And of course there are more than just the counterchange and geometric/ English smocking.
I haven’t yet tried using ribbon but want to one day.

Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 8 years agoI have added smocking to the bubble shorts, the garden party dress,tje fairy tale dress, and the sailboat top. I am working on a smocked popover dress as well. I think anything really could have a bit of smocking added to it.

Tamara replied to the topic Smocking in the forum
Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 8 years ago@sewgirl23 if you look at the line of the style of garment, it will give you an indication of where the smocking can go. I have used smocking on the carousel dress, the school photo dress and the school days jacket, not to mention the croquet dress.
For a motif the carousel dress would be perfect. You could also do a picture smocked panel and…[Read more]

I think the 2+2 would be gorgeous. Just under the tie, instead of the tab.
ASM Blue did a gorgeous Ice Cream blouse. I would use gingham, so I could stitch the squares, rather then pleat.I still love French knots.
I think simple smocking looks cleaner and more modern.

Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 8 years ago@motherof5 I’ve always wanted to get into smocking, and am just trying to figure out which patterns I could adapt to have a bit of a smocked motif! I did so much embroidery in the 80’s and 90’s, I’m the same way when I see fine needlework.
