Oh the idea of no alterations. I would see all the time for myself if I didn’t have so many curves.

They had both linen and merino jersey on sale — I got a bit of each. I’d been wanting to make a jersey top and linen slacks to match a pair of unusual shoes I found for my daughter, and they had the perfect match. They were so lovely and helpful, too — their receipt includes a little card with care instructions.

Ok, good tip — I have some thread a bit like that in a bright color I don’t often use — will try it, thanks!

Gals, any tips for marking wool? I’m off to google tailor’s tacks in the meanwhile.

Thanks @ann-maree for the great tip, I visited yesterday and there was a sale, too, got some wonderful fabrics at great prices!

I’ll bet she looks great in that skirt Tamara.

Last night I made the Lisette 6182 top in z rayon challis and I’ve worn it all day today and love it. I’m also appreciating my lack of boobage. No bust, no alterations, no muslin, just sew! I’ll make the skirt next and then get some pictures.

I’ve been working on hopscotch dresses. The dog has a death wish. He stole the pattern off my sewing desk, ripped open the envelope and ate a hole in the pattern. Death wish dog.

He’s trying to be sad and apologize. It isn’t working.

There are some good seams to take it in by @vothgirl. A little from each would give you the best result.

@sarvi, I would love that!

I finished by husbands long waited Liberty shirt, I have only had the fabric for two years. 🙂

I have moved on to a trusty KwikSew polo top for him, in a vibrant green/pink stripe.

It’s like grown up Sunday Brunch! I can see why you’d want another. No help with a pattern sorry, but I’ll bet there’s one out there that’s similar enough.
Good luck

Liesl’s FBA instructions are top notch. I was leery of trying it when I first started sewing for myself, but I shouldn’t have been.

I would think so, but I’m not an expert fitter — @motherof5?

Ooh, great tip! That’s close to me, will be paying a visit.

@lightningmcstitch yes I do have a pic! @hazel I’ll attach it below. Liesl’s instructions made it so very easy!

I’m actually in the position of needing to alter that lovely eggplant chambray cinema dress I made because it is too loose, what would be the easiest way to size it down? Just pinch in at the sides?
