    @jay 1965vw, I will do some research for you, re my Juki.

    I am so excited. I may need to buy some licence labels!

    When I was in hospital, last week, Trixie was ‘baby-napped’by the nurses and they loved her clothes. Jed (my husband) is very proud of my sewing and he unpacked and showed off her School Days coat, her Tea Party dress, her Hopscotch…[Read more]

    Really? That makes me so happy, thank you!
    PS (I love your name, I wanted a Mimi)

    @NCMimi, great idea.
    I found we had to have a ‘system’ to get the Jumprope dress on my little girl, she had a big head.
    She soon learned the ‘procedure’ 🙂

    I love your dress.

    I saw this advertised on Foxtel whilst I was in hospital. It looks fantastic, I wish we could get it. 🙁

    I wonder if she found the shoulder fit a wee bit snug…..

    I made this for my daughter and, as per usual, sized back and added length. It was a bit of a tug around the shoulders but fine once on.

    Perhaps try a knit or a cotton poplin with some stretch?

  • Really @Sarvi, that is so exciting, thank you!

    I *finally* posted it off to its new owner.

    My son passed his driving test, so excited for him!

    Thanks @Justsewit, I am sure all will be fine.

  • 🙂 That would be a trial run, not a trail run, dear oh dear…

    If it was any other fabric, I would say, ‘Go for it’. I know your time is super precious, but so is Liberty. 😉

    Welcome back Fee, I hope you have fun sewing up all those little things.

    I must admit, I love a birth story, you would have think I had had enough but they always thrill me. If anyone else is inspired to write theirs, feel free. (Or post links)

    Thank you for your best wishes, just a straight forward Gall Bladder removal, I fit the criteria of…[Read more]

  • Thinking of the shape, I would extend from the bottom, following the A-line but I would definitely make a trial run before cutting the Liberty.
    You could use it as a nightie.

    I would add a fair bit of length, a few inches not just a few cm’s.

    No sewing, it was a washing and ironing day, but I did prep some cornflower blue cotton poplin for Music Class school blouses (short sleeves and pin tucks) for Lid’s and Tildy.

    I *was* going to cut navy Badminton skorts as bottoms but I am seriously considering Lunch Box culottes with all the lovely versions popping up in the Flickr pool…..

    Yay @vothgirl.
    @Dawn R, that will look so cute.

    Don’t you love it when a experiment works?
    I made Trixie a Hopscotch top and skirt today but I adapted the skirt to have the Tea Party bloomers built in.
    And it worked!

    It was not with out a few head scratching moments though. As I have said in the past, I take my hat off to pattern designers,…[Read more]

    Yes, do, maybe even the 2T?
    I make this for my girls as a school uniform and is a dress that can be worn a little big with a deeper hem.

  • @Rhythm, thank you!
