On phone please excuse grammar
As long as this does not leave the sleeve cap and under arm too tight
How about two back French darts at the back , below the shoulders and darting the centre back of the sleeve ?

There’s nothing that I would like more

Nicole replied to the topic What are you sewing now? in the forum off topic 10 years ago

I have finally finished my daughters vintage pattern trench coat. (Happy dance)

I am looking forward to sewing her twin’s Lisette Moto jacket. Far less fabric to negotiate.

Sewing friends sure are the best
Better than all of the rest
They’re there every time
To offer a rhyme

Oh Masha.
I wish a speedy recovery for him and as much help can be mustered for you. If only I lived nearby….

Nicole replied to the topic Patterns from other companies? in the forum Sewing for Yourself 10 years ago

First tip from me, when I sew a muslin, I put my seams on the out side, easier to alter.

#1 It appears you need to take fabric from the back piece, not the front. Unpick and move the back until you get the right fit, then pin and re-mark and trim to your new seams.

#2 That bust dart looks pretty good and your front arm looks nice!

#3 I wonder…[Read more]

My kid has got arms like an ape
There’s no way she’ll fit in this cape
I’ve lengthened and lengthened
Reinforced seams and strengthened

I can’t see any problems with that Ellen. If you get ticked off, blame me 😉

If you are nervous, perhaps post a link to a Flickr photo and people can comment on that?
Nicole replied to the topic Washing the Garden Party dress? And two changes I made… in the forum oliver + s: garden party 10 years ago

When I made mine, http://fiveandcounting-motherof5.blogspot.com.au/2014/03/the-garden-party-tutorial-part-one.html, I added a wee spot of interfacing to the bottom of the ‘V’ and also sewed the’V’ with a narrower stitch

Both dresses have washed like rags.

One washing tip from me, reduce spin and goffer the gathers a little and then let the…[Read more]

Just typed a long post then lost it, anyway mine did the same thing @juliamom2009 and it was good old quilting cotton. Now in the mending pile.
Perhaps we need to interface both main and yoke. The same issue was found with Badminton dresses. What do you think @liesl an errata or warning required?

Coat sewing but I wish it was frocks
Wool lint is all over my socks
It’s not all that bad
‘Least I’m not in Baghdad
Sewing hundreds of pairs of men’s jocks

(sorry, got carried away with 2 lines there 🙂 )

Nicole replied to the topic The Limerick Thread in the forum off topic 10 years ago

It took me an eon to sew
She’s going to just love it, I know
French seams throughout
But still, there’s a doubt
Will she pick they are not true but faux?

I hope that is it and they work well next time. I am sure your little one will look as cute as can be in ‘garden grubbies’

I can hear your frustration and I am very sorry for it.
I made a smaller size here http://fiveandcounting-motherof5.blogspot.com.au/2012/07/after-school-frolics-part-two.html
This size seemed to be fine.

This is a curved seam which will need easing.

Please don’t lose heart. 🙂
