I am not sure what it’s correct name is but I use this stitch, not too tight with the tension.
A small stitch to the tube (or the dress) and then a longer one to the other, but don’t pull too tight!
Good luck!

Well, as a child of the seventies in the US I remember when President Ford announced we would be joining the rest of the world and going metric. And I remember getting a crash course in metric measurement in grade school.
And then, nothing…. The people spoke and said, “We don’t like change. And we like all this confusing non base ten stuff and…[Read more]

Nicole replied to the topic Has anyone paired the B6183 top with the Everyday Skirt? in the forum liesl + co: everyday skirt 8 years ago
Lovely fabric @lotuspeachblog
Have you started? I think the top could look stunning colour blocked, particularly if you used darker colours to your advantage. I, personally, wouldn’t mix plains with florals in a top, I would make the top or skirt from the patterned but that is purely personal and as I wear mainly black, grey or navy I am probably…[Read more]

Thank you Big4 big seam allowance 🙂

@yeppoon4703 Fabric requirements for all our patterns are a pretty simple and straightforward 1:1 conversion.
OK, not really, but pretty close.
When we do our fabric requirements we do them to the nearest 1/4 yard because most stores won’t sell in quantities of less than that. We always use our pattern development software to calculate the…[Read more]

I think if you got a good fit of your bust /waist it could look lovely. I am not tall or willowy so avoid too much ‘floatiness’. I did wear the skirt with the Weekend blouse but I had good bust/under bust definition.
This skirt sat really low on me, with looser tops I felt a bit ‘messy in the middle’.
I am not sure I am being much help…sorry. -

I wore my Everyday skirt through out my last pregnancy with a fitted black tee. I quite liked that silhouette.
