I would use the larger size if you really don’t want to try and merge 2 sizes, however if you’re willing to try it’s not to hard.
I would trace the 18-24 size through the shoulder, neckline and half way down the armhole. Where all the armhole lines cross over I would change to tracing the size 2T for the rest of the bodice. I think this would…[Read more]

I’m working on a size 7 School Days coat. It’s got a purple pinwale courduroy outer, fleece scraps interlining and navy satin lining with purple board cloth hood lining! I’m constructing the linings first then the outer 🙂

I just finished a gorgeous bright blue courduroy and floral short Tea Party Playsuit for a friend’s baby girl due in a month. This is the fourth Tea Party item I’ve made this week.
I’m planning on moving onto the School Days Coat for the first time, in purple swirly courduroy, lined with fleece 🙂

There are threads all over my house
The silk fabric frayed from the blouse
But it’s twenty below
And going to snow

I’ve made a beautiful midnight satin tea party dresse with matching shirred bloomers! It was so nice to just cut and sew!
I now have a lengthened playsuit cut out in green and black 🙂

Happy birthday Liddy!
I finished up the last two pairs of Colette Iris shorts for me 5 mins before I walked out the door to school camp on Tuesday!
Now I’m back after 4 days away I’m going to sew up something Oliver and S!

I’ve done a pair of navy shorts up to the zipper and I have some brown one cut ready to sew. Now I need to waste an hour going to get zips. I’m fairly sure I’ll get these two done, I’m not sure if I’ll get any more though. I think two will get me through 🙂

Thank you! Even though I have made my own version I will enjoy this one too 🙂

I think I might nearly be up to a muslin 🙂 In some ways the pattern no longer looks like the original, but I have a much better idea why most RTW and sewn straight from the pattern pants pretty much never fit!
It’s been about 4 hours work so far just on flat pattern adjustment and probably another hour or so before it’s ready for the muslin…[Read more]

Thanks Nicole! I have a 50cm/20″ one which has been fantastic but not quite long enough for my crotch curve 🙁 I Know postage within Australia is shockingly expensive!
