The bag is done

Karen · 8 hours ago Plus Member

All done apart from the strap, which I will do shortly. Would I make another? I am not sure about that. At the moment, I am saying 'no'. But maybe after I have left it a while, I may change my mind. I am happy with it though

Re-purpose a long vintage skirt into a dress

Merv · 12 hours ago

Hello! I recently purchased a long, vintace skirt at a local vintage shop. It is super long- I am able to put over my head and wear the waistband as a neckline, and it still falls below my knees. It has an invisible side zipper (9inch) with buttons....

My Luna’s

These look amazing! I got myself a Prym Vario creative tool to install rivets and eyelets etc and I would absolutely recommend it, it's pricey but it makes those jobs sooo much easier! Alma xx

well I had to size down on the hips but I would suggest making a toile first but it was easy to alter before the facing went on but only if it's too big

Thoughts please

I think it is fine as is and the colour is good for you. I've seen patterns where a very full sleeve is balanced by a long tight cuff (eg Itch to Stitch's Busan top), but that might not work with a more standard sleeve.

I started upcycling denim into bags & other bits & bobs last year. I thought you would like to see some examples of what I have made. I've even made Christmas decorations from the leftovers

The next challenge was requested to be easy, so we have to make something, anything that represents the first letter of our first name, so it could be any format. For example for D I could embroider a daffodil or make a stuffed doll. No hints...

What a lovely project - this is a pretty cute jacket - thefoldline.com/products/poppy-jazz-baby-child-honeydew-hoodie?_pos=23&_fid=69487d8dc&_ss=c

Thoughts please

Glenda H · 1 day ago Community Member

I think it looks good as is. A too long cuff may look a bit off proportionally but a deep enough cuff to make it wearable would be fine - perhaps to mid forearm.

October Pattern Club - Studio 7t7 Luna Backpack

I was editing the video tutorials yesterday - they will be ready very soon. It would definitely be an ambitious project for a beginner, there are a lot of layers of fabric that you have to battle to get through the machine. It would be a lot easier...

I've just another pair of Rosemary's for a second toile and I'm in the process of cutting out the Opal coat. It's a lot of pattern pieces (lining, lots of different interfacing and the main). I'm not rushing this one 😁

The cutting stage always takes longer than you think it's going to! Especially with a trickier fabric. But the reward is the sewing so it's worth it!
