The season for sewing has changed
My skirts and I are estranged
But my jackets and coats
Are garnering votes

Channel the 90s and wear a t-shirt under it?

I decided on the 6 with 8 length. It is a bit big but she likes it except for one thing.

She is only in kinder mind you and she said sadly- but mommy what if a boy pulls the bow and they see my body.

Sigh. Feminist mommy says wear it and punch the lights out of anyone who touches your clothes and does that to you. Since it is her body and if…[Read more]

Why don’t you colour block and cut the 2 for the top and then make it wider, gradually, with a bit of trimming as you go?

I can’t decide which is my size
Do I go by my waist or my thighs?

@eboyd83 I have tried a few but my latest ones are from Cash’s name labels.

There is rumoured to be a new book
The cover, it has a good look
But I just can’t decide
If I step up or hide
Perhaps a challenge to be undertook

Jenny, I get “rattled” watching what is happening in the US. And it’s hard to work in the industry you do.

Sew something pretty. Hug your kids.

So wish I could just pop by for a gab and some stitching. Hang in there.

So I have been in an absolute FUNK. 🙁

I’m wearing a merino fleece Metro T right now! Have a look at http://www.thefabricstore.com.au the have an L.A. store so US shipping should be reasonable.
There’s an amazing outdoor fabric supplier in the UK that I’ve purchased from, and I keep finding one in Canada when I’m searching online, but I forget the name….

@thesimpson5 I am pretty new to this fitting business but I find if my seams are on the outside they are easier to adjust.

I finished my jeans. I had a few issues with the back yoke fit but I have that sorted now (I think), and have cut a second pair.

@lesliegug would this help? http://fiveandcounting-motherof5.blogspot.com.au/2012/04/sketchbook-shirt-tutorial-part-1.html
