I have just downloaded your Tailor's Ham pattern. I have been wanting one for ages, but didn't want to pay such a high price for it, so thank you very much!
Hello. I am wanting to make dressing gowns for my bridesmaids for my wedding thst we can wear when we are getting ready. Any tips for a simple pattern. . And an easy material to use xx
This is an amazing blog, I love it! I've been wanting to make my own clothes for such a long time but have been too nervous. I love sewing but tend to hand stitch where possible as I get in such a muddle with my sewing machine. This has inspired me to give it go. Thanks! x
Hi there, I have zero knowledge on sewing and using the sewing machine. Am very interested to learn sewing, making play dresses for little girls. What machine should I get to start of with and how do I take up lessons for beginners? Is your blog suitable for me to start? Kindly advice your expertise.
Hello, I am a man and I am writing this with a very deep voice! I am retired and disabled (left leg) and I have been looking for something to do at home that will challenge me. Sooooo I bought a sewing machine and have decided to make simple things for gifts and if I get good flog on ebay! My wife is astonished but then so am I ha ha! Found this site by mistake and love it. It's given enthusiasm and hope plus lots of ideas....thank you.
Hi Tilly, I've been trying to buy this pattern all afternoon, but when I click on 'Buy' it doesn't seem to be playing ball. Not sure if this is a problem with Paypal, with my computer, or just my general incompetence at the wheel of it?!
Very excited to find your blog via the Polka Dot Chair. I am getting back into sewing after being away for about 15 years! I am making the Mathilde Blouse. Many things have changed in sewing but the basics are still the same. Thanks for your awesome tutorials/refresher courses and I look forward to posting my finished product online for you to see!
Hello and thanks for giving me a kick start back into the world of sewing . I have a request please sometime ago you mentioned a book , not yours! Which I have ordered !!! but a book about fabrics what they made of how you can use them what they are called and most importantly it had samples in it as I buy my fabrics online I think it would help me make better choices I have forgotten the title can you tell me what it was. Many thanks and much happiness in your life
These are great fabrics for Mathilde - lightweight cotton, silk or polyester fabrics with drape, such as lawn, voile, viscose (rayon), crêpe de chine, habotai, charmeuse. Avoid slippery fabric if you’re a beginner. And bear in mind that plain fabric will show the tucks better than patterned fabric.
One thing to add: to reduce raffle threads, sew a diagonal seam at each end is fabric, across selvage and onto cut edge. Time consuming but will really save your fabric.
