Nicole replied to the topic lightweight/durable/blackout fabric? in the forum off topic 9 years ago
Rubber backed curtain fabric with washers sewn in the hem makes a very effective block out. Often curtain making shops will have remnants.
@kgiff, you will be very popular with the school. I have 27 drawstring bags to sew for the 2/3’s. The teacher wants to sort the skipping ropes.

Have you tried the fold in half, fold in the edges to meet and fold press then topstitch, to make roulette?
Or use a similar colour in a lighter fabric. My hair ties did not work well.
I used webbing on this one http://fiveandcounting-motherof5.blogspot.com.au/2013/07/kindy-days.html
Good luck, I loved sewing this one.

(blushing) Thank you Heidi and welcome Judy.
The pocket definitely works, I have just made one, but by all means leave it off.
I have done that and it still looks adorable. -

Nicole replied to the topic Added a Skirt Lining-How Do I Sew the Zipper? in the forum off topic 9 years ago
You girls are the best!
I went with the lining attached to the bodice and then did a few cm’s stitch-in-the-ditch sewing at the front back and side seam.
I hand sewed the lining to the zipper.Thank you so much, I was pretty much flummoxed on this on and it turned out so nicely.

I am making this dress https://www.flickr.com/photos/motherof5/16120786621/ for my cousin and as the voile is so light I have added a bemsilk skirt lining. The zipper is added after the skirt is attached so what I normally do in this case is treat the lining and main as one, the fabric is light enough that with some gentle pressing it works.

@mim22, thank you.
We had a scary and vigilant few days but the weather has broken now. We had a huge fire last year and lost a lot of fences, crops and sheds so we had cleared a lot of trees and scrubby undergrowth in anticipation.

Happy New Year to all!
I hope everyone is safe and well.
My sewing goals for the New Year are to sew more thoughtfully (do we really need it)? and focus on finishing and fabric choices.
I also plan to downsize my stash. I am frequently given bags of fabric and patterns from ladies that no longer sew, which is lovely, but I think I need to cull…[Read more]
