@with-love-heidi, what is your browser History? 😉
Too funny.

I am thinking shorts with singlet tops as pjs @etc3 does it each year so well.

I have never lengthened a skirt that much Charlene but I would consider adding length in two places. I would divide the the panel into thirds and add the length at these lines.
Does that make sense? So you don’t end up with too exaggerated an A-line.

It is a lovely skirt.

I have a lot of Christmas sewing planned, whether I get there is another thing.
Is it just me or does ‘linky party’ bug anyone else? Even my Macbook doesn’t want to type it.

Link up party, maybe?

Hello Lovelies, so nice to read that people are sewing.

Tilly received a last minute 6th Birthday invite and the little girls mother asked me to sew something so nicely, I couldn’t say no. She requested something ‘Kardashian’ style and it took a wee bit of research (by the Twins) to find out that there is a children’s label.

That is great! Job very well done.

The party was awesome, huge and a lot of fun.

Well done, you should feel very proud.

When I searched the pool for monochrome, they only come up if it’s in the tag box. Easy to do from a pc but phone uploads perhaps not so?
More than half of the images were found by trawling the the Flickr pool as they didn’t appear in search results.
Rachel and i were talking about doing it as a link party and that’s heaps easier. That way YOU do…[Read more]

Yep.

Yep.

This is my bread and butter! 🙂
Happily it may be the push I need to redo my all time favourite pattern mash in a new, bigger size. It was the back if the After School pants on modified front of the Field Trip. I made about five pairs in the end…

Try doing this http://fiveandcounting-motherof5.blogspot.com.au/2014/03/garden-party-dress-part-two.html except for adding the waistband. Baste the side seams, fit and adjust yours gathers and then unpick the side seams and add the waist band.
Then you can make it as big as you need too.

Thank you @shokomoo, you are sweet. We are campaigning Liesl to make a dungarees pattern.
My sewing gal-pal @ock-du-spock tracked down the same pattern in a larger size.

It is lovely fabric.

Not to go against @with-love-heidi, she sews for a plethora of lucky children, I would only add to the back if she is really overweight.
Chubby little girls tend to have big tummies, which this dress would disguise well, if you add to the back it may get ‘tenty’ and lose the original look.
