Hi there, we'll it's been a minute. Vacations, puppy training and life have been busy. I have managed to sew a couple of things. I lost my sewjo for a bit, but I made the Cosmo blouse from Seamwork, the making moves pants (huge). And the classic pant...

Itch To Stitch - Acari Trench Coat

Adele · 1 day ago Community Member

Quite a stressful start with the welt pockets 🧐 (I find welt pockets really difficult) and then button holes 😬. I’m quite happy with how they’ve turned out. I’ve got the gun flap and storm flap all sewn and attached.

I've deleted my previous comment because it referred to someone else. I am so sorry Mandy. I'm glad you enjoyed Sunday and, if I get it right this time, I'm thinking you now have a sparkling clean overlocker to get going on. If I am still wrong...

I hope this works for this blouse. I was inspired by the shirts I saw people wearing at the Scots-Irish festival in Dandridge, Tennessee a couple weekends ago. Also finished my teacup zipper pouches I was working on during the sewcial. And a...

Itch To Stitch - Acari Trench Coat

Adele · 2 days ago Community Member

Now that the seasons have begun to change and we’re now getting some rain I had a sudden urge to make a trench coat. I made the Lagan coat last year and lived the process so when I saw that Itch to Stitch had a trench coat pattern, it went straight...

This is such a fun pattern!! I've not seen it before, I love the back detail, although I know I'd get really cold in it!! You've made a great job of it Anne Marie, it's fab!

Here is a couple of pictures of my Chicku sweater. I think it has such a funny name. I loved the colour in the fabric, which is a French Terry, bought from a shop no longer in operation. But the highlight is the back - it was very simple to do...

Light Up Fabric

That sounds like a really good idea. There is no rush for these dresses as festivals don't start till May or June but I don't want to leave it to the last minute. Christmas decorations are just arriving in the shops so I will have a look around....

Pattern Emporium Coco Pants

DonnieH · 3 days ago Moderator

My tuppence worth is that making them with the external pockets would make them look less like pajamas... but whether the pocket would be visible on a patterned fabric, I don't know. Frankly, if you love the fabric and the pattern I'd say go for...

Lovely to meet you here! It may be too simplistic, but I have a sheer curtain with built in fairy lights that gets rolled out every Christmas...I wonder if that might be the simple option as a base cloth for some kind of 'over' garment? I hope...

Wiltshire libraries apparently have one copy in large print. I've reserved it but will also see about picking up a copy. I think it's important to use the library where we can to keep the service going! Looking forward to the read and the discussion.

I just discovered the Coco pants and love them. I have some cozy checked cotton flannel I really want to make up for fall. Wondering if anyone has made this pattern up in this type fabric and if they gave off pajama vibes. Thanks!

This is lovely. I’ve never heard of this pattern company. I love the v neck in it. I have the same fabric and haven’t figured out what to do with it yet. I thought it was more summery, but your styling is making me think.

I have done that Sandybeth, but I can see that isn't the same effect. I can't help either, but had a lovely moment looking at this site: https://www.lumigram.it/

Light Up Fabric

Sandybethsews · 5 days ago Plus Member

Hi Anne and welcome. My first thought would be to use those tiny LED lights that come on flexible wire and are battery operated. They could be secured onto a dress with a few stitches and the battery pack could go in a pocket.
