Hi @carries12345 I am very glad you managed to get the sba sorted because the bustro is such a lovely dress. I made this for daugther’s interview to her new high school last year and it turned out beautifully.

In terms of your question on blending, what I would do is first measure your front waist and compare this measurement to the pattern to…[Read more]

@cat75 I’ll preface my response by saying I have no bust so haven’t done so myself, but I suspect you should.
It’s a top with a moderately wide neckline and a dropped shoulder. If you go with your full bust size you might find the whole thing too saggy sack like.
With a decent high/full bust difference if you fit to your high bust/shoulder it may…[Read more]

I got this photo through the other day. All the girls made one for their mums so I thought I would share it here and wish everyone a Happy Mother’s day.

@sewgirl23 oh wow you are on a roll for sure! I love the pinwheel tunic and dress but as yet haven’t made it for my youngest daughter – made two for the eldes a d they unfortunately sat in the cupboard after the initial wear. And the afterschool pants make the best little girl jeans!

Speaking of jeans, I have drafted off the pattern I am going to…[Read more]

Well the concord is ready to use and now I am on to altering the j stern designs jeans pattern I bought for myself when I first got the make your own designer jeans class with Angela Wolf on Craftsy. I had to cut the alterations short thanks to an all too keen to get outside toddler but she is now wrapping herself in sticky tape and having a fine…[Read more]

I am slowly gathering a hefty sized parcel of items to send to Imogen next week. I didn’t end up taking them with me this last trip as I just simply ran out of time so the photoshoot of the pyjamas will just have to wait until midterm break (beginning of June). I made sleepover pyjamas to “match” the Lisette pj’s for Imogen. I used the Jumprope…[Read more]

Oh yes! It looks womderful! I especially like the colour you chose.

I am most interested! I love seeing how people fix up new homes, and I’m sure your stylish crew will give the new place a fantastic look. How lovely to have a city home in addition, for when you want a change of pace!

Oh that is a great piece of news. My late parents in law did the same thing when their elder two went to the city to study. Unfortunately it was sold a few years ago so we don’t get to be independent from family anymore. At least this will give them a good base as they transition to fully independent young adults – they will learn so much living…[Read more]

Excellent, I look forward to seeing yours (and sewing this one up too).

So very excited. We sign on a city flat for our Biggies today.
We had always planned to send out chaps away for years 11+12 but our local school is just so excellent, there was no need. The money we have saved for fees has made a good deposit on the flat.

It is very central and close to good public transport (and University)and a gym plus the…[Read more]
