Had a lovely time thank you - did you?  Loved your suit for the catwalk.  Already planning next year - planning on staying in London and maybe doing some workshops 🤞

I'm hoping the Frankie counts. I haven't made it yet, but I have some great fabrics. If it turns out, I'll order the long sleeves and try that too.

Jan from Eureka CA, way up north on the coast where it is mild to moderate, but not warm like So Cal.

This looks great Tamlyn, so many beautiful blouses to choose from I can't wait to see them all. 

Which pattern will everyone be making? I'm on the lookout for something similar to the Anna Allen Anthea blouse but with a lower neckline. I did try adjusting it but it didn't work out too well

Have you looked at the Sewing Patterns by Masin Amalfi blouse? That has a very similar vibe but a lower neckline. it's on my list for this month

Hi I can't get my pdf to print out at the correct size. Tried changing sizes , even tried it on another printer still the same. Little box that you have to measure is coming up 1/2 more than it should be.

Any advice would be great , 

ps it's a chalk and notch fringe dress.

thanks

Invisible zips are my nemesis-the two sides never match up😬. And v-necks are a challenge too.

Once you've sewn in the 1st side close the zip and mark on the unsewn side where the waist seam is, undo the zip, pin, tack and sew the 2nd side making sure your mark lines up. I hope that makes sense?

Great outfit. I have the Petra pant pattern and have been intimidated to make them.

I would give them a go nothing too crazy in the construction. They look worse than they are x

Here is the Size Me Serene Jumpsuit pattern that I've just finished making, using my material from the luxury March box. Love it! So comfortable and the best bit is it unwraps so you can go to the loo without having to take it off! Material is perfect for it too!

Its funny as I had the cami material for some time not sure where it came from loved t he colours but just could not imagine what I could make that I would be able to wear as I am normal very much a plain Jane when it comes to clothes . The trousers sewn up beautifully your material was such a pleasure to sew and I wanted to match them with a top and the print material went perfect.

Lost my sewjo for a bit after a bad make but was asked to make 2 memory bears out of my daughter in law to be grandads clothes. Have made bears before however never used the collars or a tie. Really pleased with how they turned out.
