Oh no @jwo
I made Trixie a gorgeous white Hopscotch nightie yesterday which will stay pristine as I used a too firmer knit and it won’t go over her head.
Le sigh. -

I love flannelette pj’s. Amy Butler flannel is amazing. I have some jammies that are onto their third owner.
I finished Beatrix’s ‘go’ on my rota, on to Matilda, starting with a Jumprope school dress.

I love my (two) Tefal irons. They get nice and hot with lots of steam. I kill irons and this brand has lasted the longest.

@with-love-heidiHeidi, I am *finally* about to tackle that pattern. I hope I can call on you if I need to.
I have been sewing for Trixie. A Playtime tunic&leggings, a Bubble dress+bloomers, a Puppet Show+ shorts, a 2+2 blouse and now a Sailboat top and trousers.
I love how quick and rewarding tiny clothes sewing is.
What are the rest of you…[Read more]

The size will determine my answer @frances-suzanne
Up to size 2T, yes. After that I found it perfect.

@Cathbe, the best way to determine whether you need the twill tape (which I would actually recommend even if you don’t “need” it) is to check the stretch from selvedge to selvedge. If it stretches or if the fabric is quite heady you’ll almost certainly want it. I hope that helps!

Nicole replied to the topic Which pattern size should I get? in the forum oliver + s: fairy tale 9 years ago
@lightningmcstitch is correct. This is one pattern that needs to fit well in the girth. Get the smaller size.
(And make a muslin bodice)

Nicole replied to the topic Help finding this coat pattern! in the forum off topic 9 years ago
I would do as you suggest but sew one side of your collar to the jacket ( the under collar) and the upper collar to your facing/lining.
Then sew those together

Ah, that makes me so happy, @mychurchdoll! I’m headed to Paris in a few weeks–maybe I’ll get to wear mine, too! It’s been too warm here to wear it so far. Can’t wait to see photos, everyone! xo
And @sanitystitches, I completely understand the fear of heat with wool. I’ve found that the wool setting on the iron is absolutely perfect, and if you…[Read more]
