I have had good experiences with Onlinefabricstore.net. I plan to get some of this to make dd new uniform skirts:
navy brushed 100% cotton twill

it seems pricey but it is 60″ wide so good value. they also have a
regular (not brushed) cotton twill… this is the more hardy stuff that is not as soft, have used this for ds’ pants.

Welcome Jessica, it is lovely to meet you!

I have had this this organza on Etsy in mind for a special occasion dress for a bit. I think it would make a lovely Pinwheel overdress or Apple-picking or Carousel with a pale lining.

@mcholley1 I was thinking of you, after your comment on my blog about your daughter eschewing bright colours, as I’m due to start work soon on a zebra print Fairy Tale dress! Mine is for opening night of Carnival Of The Animals where children are invited to dress up as their fav animal (I vetoed fake fyr onesies!)

@erysiphe well that’s maybe slightly better than what I was immediately reminded of: Swine Erysipelas. Disease of pigs caused by Erysipelothrix bacterium.
Perhaps we can invent the Greek muse of sewing AND powdery mildew and call her Erysiphe.
Welcome!

If any of the seams give you grief try ironing a small scrap of interfacing to stabilise the seam before sewing.

Good luck, they sound very groovy.

A very soft pinwale would be lovely. The pants fit for a long time too.

Congratulations Nancy, I am so excited for you.

I had my last lot made by Cash’s name labels. I think they are international, try Googling them.

Absolutely gorgeous, individually cut and iron-on-able.

I’m in!
I don’t use Facebook very much ( I hate that it keeps trying to work out who I am and where I live) but I’m always happy to see what people are making with these lovely patterns

And as an extreme face warmer…

That’s a very clever idea @kerrilyn !
This is how it looks as an oversized hairband:

I find this a good fit, not sloppy, for the size chart given. It is my skinny, broad shouldered 11 year old’s shirt de jour.

I do add some length, maybe 3 inches? You can always shorten it.

Hope that helps.
