We have just returned from a quick trip to the city for yet another review of Murray’s injuries. Good news!! We are now down to three monthly visits and the humerous is healing up which means we can step up the physio and he can work with it a little more.
Not so good news was that his movement hasn’t really improved a huge deal and he has been…[Read more]

Nicole replied to the topic Has anyone paired the B6183 top with the Everyday Skirt? in the forum liesl + co: everyday skirt 8 years ago
Lovely fabric @lotuspeachblog
Have you started? I think the top could look stunning colour blocked, particularly if you used darker colours to your advantage. I, personally, wouldn’t mix plains with florals in a top, I would make the top or skirt from the patterned but that is purely personal and as I wear mainly black, grey or navy I am probably…[Read more]

I am a metric-baby but swing between the two with the aid of a ruler.
Funny thing is, I trained as a hairdresser in the 90’s and we used imperial in college as well… -

@markjebobarrhotmail-com aren’t they fabulous?! It is such a nice surprise to have not one but two choices also. Are you planning to use both styles or just one? I have both on my list as I can see these being very well used.

@dubhels2003 Thankyou! She is very “into” what I do and very much a helper. I will eventually make the blouse. I have cut a denim music class skirt which I intend to sew along with a pair of afterschool pants (also denim) and a button up skirt and pair of jeans for my eldest. The shirt will come after as I am spending much of the holidays sorting…[Read more]

I didn’t trace the skirt pattern in the end but I did finish two field trip t shirts. I left the pockets off for these ones and used the coverstitch machine around the neckline just to try it out. The result gives them more of a pullover type look. They are the perfect size so no need to size up just yet.
Next project will be the button up skirt.

Finally got started with the t shirts today after a few non sewing days. I completely mucked up the neckline of the first Jalie raglan t shirt. I do not like the instructions for the binding at. all! Instead for the second one I did it the normal way and gained a much better result. It’s actually wearable and everything is approved by the…[Read more]
