Reeni started the topic what can I make for myself with a yard of 60" velvet? in the forum off topic 10 years ago
is there a pattern you like for a top that uses only a yard of 60″ woven? I bought some royal purple velvet for a great price with no pattern in mind… my problem is that I’m a size 14-16 depending on the style, I guess I don’t sew enough for myself to realize I need more fabric!

interesting, perhaps it stabilizes the wool so it doesn’t lose its shape? I wonder if that makes it stiffer, and if what they use to stick them together affects how to clean the project.
I’m thinking ideal for a messenger bag or clutch to test it… then if it holds up, a garment. -

I’d do the 18-24 mo tulip sleeve, because it attaches to the shoulder… the difference between the sizes in the sleeve piece is about 1/4 inch, so a little more or little less on the overlap should not be obvious.

I would make the 2T. If she feels awkward with the shoulders too big, (sometimes we forget that the actual wearer’s comfort is the most important!:D) you could make some discreet vertical tucks along the shoulder line to pull it in a bit for now… most children start getting long without gaining breadth around this time, so she can grow into the…[Read more]

You *can* absolutely, but it can be a little rougher in texture so if your child has sensory issues, perhaps check that first?
Check your width too, make sure it is not too narrow or it is just horrid to attach.
You are right Lucy, it is a lot quicker. 🙂

I am with Heidi on this one. This is a dress that will look okay a bit big, particularly if you have a bow to cinch it in at the waist, it also looks very pretty swinging a little free.
You sound as if you really want to make it? So make it in the 2T and it will fit, at some point. You can always add a largish hem too.

Have fun with the coat Heidi. It’s such a lovely pattern. Many little steps leading to a summit of awesomeness!
What have I been up to? Well, I can’t make a Fairy Tale dress without imagining another, so I’ve just cut a second. This one will be simple, no collar, no sleeves, and a pleated skirt.
This week I sewed another Knight Hoodie. This time…[Read more] -
