Excellent, I look forward to seeing yours (and sewing this one up too).

So very excited. We sign on a city flat for our Biggies today.
We had always planned to send out chaps away for years 11+12 but our local school is just so excellent, there was no need. The money we have saved for fees has made a good deposit on the flat.

It is very central and close to good public transport (and University)and a gym plus the…[Read more]

More paper pretties for the USA lovelies http://www.ebay.com/sch/m.html?_odkw=&_ssn=montanagirl2424&item=361546427303&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2046732.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.Xoliver%2Bs.TRS0&_nkw=oliver%2Bs&_sacat=0

@sarvi , thank you!

I now have an outer shell finished and bits of lining sewn to vents and I just have to do fabric origami and put it all together.

I have not made this polo but I have made a lot of polos. 😉
I usually transfer the markings from the pattern front.

PS Don’t forget to stay stitch the neck line, it can ver very useful for safe clipping when easing the collar in place.

Good luck!

I do, I use fold your own bulky towelling squares. 🙂
I simply size up, usually two sizes then when they are out of nappies, you have shorts waiting.

@Buratti made some good points. My youngest is not as easily amused as my older children were, so my sewing is back to only a couple of hours a day (but my house is sparkly and washing up to date as she likes to help with those)

I have a new ‘most difficult project’ a jacket I am making my son. I have already put in 9 hours and only 1/4 of the…[Read more]

You are correct @sanitystitches , it presses forward and is decorative.

I hope Murray continues to mend, poor chap, he must be so frustrated just over seeing the workmen.

So sad to hear Prince has died. I have several of his songs in my running playlist, I got quite a lump in my throat working out today. 🙁

I have started my sons blazer and I am grateful for being sleep deprived/fearless/don’t care as there are next to no instructions.

My fabric is a nice wool/poly mix, but not expensive so if it is a cluster it can be donated to the local Am-Dram group.

I am predicting this will be at least a two week sew.

If you want really pointy ears, I wonder if a scrap of boning would work?

I sewed it in cotton velvet and my ears were a bit floppy (but oh so cute)

Much the same as @markjebobarrhotmail-com but it was a wedding dress and the bride was pregnant and her boobs were too big on the day!
I had to hand sew the dress to her bra.

It was a pretty embroidered voile and was all split by the end of the night.

My favourite sew was a Peacoat for my son, it was a big sew but not hard, just a lot of steps…[Read more]
