spinny

Clever!

I do a lot of darning by using a small piece of soft interfacing ironed to the back, over the hole, and then I hand sew it with a matching thread making sure not to pull it too tight. A good press afterwards flattens things down.

Often it will just look like a slub in the fabric.

You’d never believe it, I swear
But I’m sewing a bikini to wear
To swim at the pool
But I’m nobodies fool…

Incredible, and thanks for the link to the site.

Slightly off topic but after 3 years of aggravation I have had my overlocker/coverstitch serviced and set to purely a coverstitch.

I really, really wish I had just gone with a coverstitch in the first place.

I used to do yoga, sigh, I love the idea of a bag!
A bottle holder sounds fab, something with a elastic casing top to hold all sizes.
How about a ring attached to the inside to clip keys to?

I have a new nappy bag which has lots of mesh pockets on space dividers, it is fab as I can separate but see the contents.

Knits may be quick to sew but to get a quality looking garment you have to put in the time to get the grain straight and the fabric smooth.

I like to lay my fabric out a few hours before cutting to let it relax and re shape. Ball point pins are great as is using a combination of pins and weights.

@Kerrilyn, that was before I was blogging, but thank you!

I bought mine from O+S, sorry Kerrilyn.

I am so glad Melanie helped you, she is so clever at this sort of thing.
Just a thought, my girls are older still, 15, but Empire line is very fashionable for their age group.
I actually hunted down a Laura Ashley pattern that has a similar feel to the Garden Party as they both loved the look.

The Birthday Party facing is a clever ‘wrap around it self’ type facing so you would need to be aware of that.
