Thank you @needlewoman, she is beyond thrilled.

@ann-maree, I just took my time, and used a very fine sharp needle. Zara would like a peplum top made from the remnant but I told her I need a break before tackling that cloth again.

Thank you!

I finished a pair of Named Alexandrina Peg trousers, for Zara, in velvet backed apparel vinyl. It stretched, it slipped but the finished garment has produced far more joy then is decent for an item of clothing.

Total Rock Star moment.

I went with my normal L&C size, too. I found it just right. I am a D and skipped the FBA, first by accident, but it worked out well so I didn’t bother with it the other times, either. I suggest a muslin, also.

Best.news. ever.

@georgeandizzy Everything will come out at the same time.

Exciting! Which will release first, O+S or L+C?

We’re waiting from confirmation from the printer yet about when everything will be ready, but we’re tentatively planning on the second week in September. We’re at that point in the process where it’s mostly up to how fast the trucks can move back and forth across the country.

I have to lengthen the sleeves on this one, but my kids are tall for their age. When I made my son one without, it ended up being more of a 3/4 sleeve.

I haven’t made an all knit one yet, but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work. Just be careful that the collar and placket don’t stretch too much and distort.

Good memory Sarvi.

Yes, that was me and it was so frustrating. I ended up cutting the body to grain and cutting the cuff to the pattern but then interfacing the whole cuff so it was a bit more stable.

Does this help Purl?

Please let me know if I can be of anymore help.

Welcome Jessica, it is lovely to meet you!

I am not sure the protocol on linking other’s Flickr photos, so admin can remove if it isn’t okay. She gives a description here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/magonomics/15347834474/in/photolist-7uM4MS-fPh3gD-fF7ccm-pamHD9-fKGzXQ-t3o9z5-poeEtL

Good reminder to everyone who uses digital patterns. Ours are made with Adobe Acrobat and are guaranteed to work when you view and print them with Adobe Reader. If you use a different PDF viewer, the chances are good that the file will not print perfectly.

If any of the seams give you grief try ironing a small scrap of interfacing to stabilise the seam before sewing.

Good luck, they sound very groovy.
