Its from the simply sewing magazine, has anybody made the claudia skirt?  I am having a complete brain meltdown trying to make the waistband and how the ties attach.  I have even emailed the magazing to ask for help, does anybody know where there is a video tutorial for this skirt, I cannot find one on you tube.  Lucikly i am doing a toile first otherwise I would have given up by now! Any help appreciated 😀

Thanks Hayley! Yes, I used the paisley for the binding, it came out really well and tied it together 😊

Hi Hayley.

I think not filtering out the pattern was where I was going wrong.

Around £2 a sheet is a much better number!

Many thanks, Pauline

I have been having a slow time with my makes lately, due to college. 

But I managed to make some new pj's from the paisley fabric from January's box and the supplementary fabric from march's box. 

The bottoms are a Simplicity pattern and the top is the Helens Closet Orchard.

Hi Pauline, I've just been to take a look at the pattern as I thought 7 A0 sheets was quite a lot. But there are 5 different cup sizes and a very wide size range. It might be worth seeing if you only need 2 or 3 A0 sheets for your size. 

But yes I agree with Helen, there are a few places online where you can upload your pattern and pay around £2 per sheet. As well as Patternsy there's The Fold Line and CLC Prints. I don't know if it's the same for all of them but for CLC you upload your pattern and then you need to add the correct number of sheets to calculate the cost.

Thank you so much !! 😁 It does make sense, as I was doing a muslin, I just wanted to check the fit and I did not do the pockets ! Thanks to you, now I understand !

I'm going to try again, with the pockets !
