thejennigirl I am so sorry for your loss.

@justsewit I hope Murray is doing better. I enjoyed your photos of your girls on Flickr. It sounds like school is going so well for Imogen, illness notwithstanding. Hope she is feeling better.

@dubhels2003 I always find clean slates to be exhilarating. Hope this change brings great things for you.

Call me a cab ‘cuz I’m late
Once again there’s too much on my plate
A skirt and some pants
To wear to a dance
And a new dress – perhaps Roller Skate!

I “thrifted” an old orange chair

Two of my younger siblings got engaged over the holidays and are planning fall weddings – my four children and my niece and nephew will be in the weddings. I will be sewing two sets of three flower girls’ dresses and hopefully just the one set of three Art Museum ensembles that the boys will wear for both. My sister and I chose a light gray cotton…[Read more]

I knew you’d have something great planned, @mama_knowles! Can’t wait to see.

I am starting on my Easter sewing this week. My three youngest boys are wearing their Sketchbook shirt with a new Art Museum sets. I am sewing these for a 10 year old and a 12 so the challenge is sewing them too look good for the older boys, they will lined fully in a chambray. The little one will have a bunny vest lined in chambray. Now the fun…[Read more]

There’s nothing that I would like more
Then to visit a distant shore
Lend a hand to a mate
Who is learning to skate
Ice dancing in Spain I adore!

Super Cute! For some reason the dress link routes to the pants….

So here it is again;

@with-love-heidi Yes!
Black coated denim, navy and light blue. Jeans and shirts is a pretty standard uniform for me.

Kwik Sew do a very nice jeans pattern that is easy to adjust due to the pattern layout.

I have had good success adapting the Sketchbook shorts too.

Hi @sallycsklarsky, I have been mulling this over for a few days now.

May I point out my tute https://www.pinterest.com/pin/73676143876173067/ ? Have a look at that and I will come back and add how I think a lining may work.

Sorry not to be more help.

Have a look at Titchy Threads patterns. The Small Fry skinny jeans should tick all your boxes.
I haven’t made them up, but I have made the Twisted Trousers which have pocket with pocket bag coin pocket etc and excellent instructions. I made them in denim and they’ve been great looking jeans.
Based on that pattern, I’m sure the jeans pattern could…[Read more]

What an interesting topic — now I want to go look for denim! I wonder if I can find anything locally.

Ack, that’s the worst! I narrowly squeezed out my Lisette pjs from the Liberty I purchased before the pattern was finished, and I was sweating that it wouldn’t work out. I spent more time arranging pattern pieces in create ways than I did cutting and sewing, I think!

@dubhels2003 , did you buy some after your meeting?

I just purchased some black coated denim (not from there, I wish) and I am itching for it to be my turn on the #sewingrota.
