It’s amazing how things can go badly when we’ve made the pattern before and it went so well then 🤷‍♀️ Been there, got the tee shirt . . . .

Thanks Hayley, so pleased how it turned out. It’s called the Charvelle compact from Sewfisticated Designs. It has loads of pockets and different flap designs.

I have finally finished my Elmstead pinafore (Itch to Stitch pattern) which I kept insisting on calling the Emerald pinafore at some of the socials when I first started (put it down to menopausal brain!) I’m very pleased with the end result. It...

Hi Suekhmet, I agree with Laura, sew maraflex with a straight stitch, the thread has a slight stretch in it so need for zigzag. I have used this thread on my Brother F420 with no issues. Also try re threading machine/bobbin & test on scrap jersey...

This is my make from Sunday’s Sewcial. This is a hacked version of the Matchy Matchy Ruffle Brunch Set Blouse. The sleeves in the pattern are short. I lengthened them for winter and gave them a bit more pouffe! I also left off the bottom ruffle in...

I have just realised that I didn't mean to say 'cotton' thread - I meant the usual polyester (I am the generation that used thread / cotton interchangeably). I am usually more careful - apologies!

Welcome to the group Suekhmet - my machine likes maraflex but only on a straight stitch, also use a jersey needle - what machine do you have? Good luck with it xx

Ooh it’s lovely Donnie. I agree that if you get a lot of wear out of something it definitely offsets the environmental issues. It doesn’t contribute to the throw away culture

Hello, and a huge welcome!! I’m not a fan of maraflex thread personally, I would try with a regular polyester sew all and a zigzag stitch. I’m also wondering if there’s something to do with the bobbin, could be as simple as a bit of fluff in the...

Thank you 🥰 I find the instructions fine, although they are a pretty simple trouser - sew each pocket bag to the front/back, sew down the side seams and around the pocket, attach the waistband. The Sedona looks a lovely pattern for babycord though

That's really odd. I've just made two needlecord pinafores (both with directional prints) and they are smooth down and rough up (as I would expect).
