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.

Elmstead Pinafore

Dawn H · 2 days ago Plus Member

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...

Problems With Sewing Jersey

Dawn H · 2 days ago Plus Member

I hope this helps. Key Settings & Application Tips Stitch Type: Use a simple straight stitch—no zigzag or stretch stitches needed. Stitch Length: Set length to 2.5 to 3.0 (aiming for roughly 4 stitches per centimeter) for optimal...

Problems With Sewing Jersey

Dawn H · 2 days ago Plus Member

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...

Ruffle Brunch Blouse From Last Sunday’s Sewcial

Anniehen · 2 days ago Plus Member

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...

Problems With Sewing Jersey

AnnieRose · 2 days ago

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!

Laura F · 2 days ago Plus Member

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

An Autumnal Jarrah

SewHayleyJane · 2 days ago Admin

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

Problems With Sewing Jersey

SewHayleyJane · 2 days ago Admin

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

Hello Suekhmet and welcome. Everyone who enjoys sewing knows these awful moments - I have so many 'pieces from which I have learned something' that I layer in the winter! Did you sew test pieces? Not a toile, but lots of differenbt stitches on...

Hiya, I’m new to Thready Set Go and quite new to sewing. I’ve just stitched my first cotton jersey tshirt and I think the whole thing needs to come apart… the sewing machine hasn’t enjoyed sewing it and I don’t know why. This is the first time I’ve...

Corduroy Nap

Wendy_sews64 · 4 days ago

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).

A fantastic list Donnie - I would like to add the Pattern Scout Vivi blouse and dress - I made the dress a few years ago but changed the skirt for a half circle which was much better for me. But the blouse is lovely ...

Corduroy Nap

SewHayleyJane · 6 days ago Admin

I believe that this is the "proper" way for needle cord to be - rough going down, smooth going up! which seeing as this is a directional print makes sense. However... when it's a solid colour I'd say stroke yourself however you like!!!

Corduroy Nap

DonnieH · 6 days ago Moderator

I think it’s me rather than the dresses! Using chunky cord was a mistake - apart from my tummy, I’m quite small and chunky things wear me rather than the other way around! I’m going to try shortening the Noa to see if that helps - it’s currently what...

Corduroy Nap

I remain completely befuddled Pam. The saving grace is that the two corduroy pinafore dresses I have made are in the sad bag at the moment because I don't like them on!

Corduroy Nap

Pam · 6 days ago Plus Member

Interesting discovery today - cutting out my French Navy Atlas top in a needlecord this morning - it’s a directional print - and the nap, when you run your hand down, is rough. When you run your hand up, it’s smooth (contrary to, I’d say, what I...

The Book Club is a lovely idea Hayley. I would love to have to joined this but already have a commitment on Tuesday evenings. I have just got hold of a copy of the book and will read it alongside the Book Club. I could leave feedback in the forum?
