The shop is getting busier so I don't know how much I'll be able to make for myself and the girls, but I have a feeling that the Comfy Sews vs. Cozy Knits battle at luvinthemommyhood is going to be a fun source of ideas! Shannon's post perfectly sums up the battle in my own brain. Grab your own button and don your mittens because IT'S ON!
Autumn also means our house smells like cinnamon. What's better than coming home on a blustery day to a plateful of cinnamon scented cookies or a nutmeggy pie? Not much I tell you, except maybe a screamingly joyful hug and sloppy bo-bo (kiss) from a spiky-headed, gap-toothed toddler. Sigh. Life is good.

Thanks for joining in! I can't wait to see how it turns out either! Should be fun :)
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love all the precious pictures of the girls wearing things you've made. Wah. I wanna visit soon!
ReplyDeleteSaw your shirt whole reading MADE and loved it. How did you do the collar if you don't mind me asking? I am kind of new to sewing but have made several variations of that peasent shirt. Did you just not cut the neck line out or very little?
ReplyDeleteThanks
Hi Casey,
ReplyDeleteI don't know if you'll read this, but the pattern originally called for elastic (indietutes.com) at the collar and I just did four lines of elastic thread instead. Hope that helps.
I did read it!! I use that tutorial too. I just loved how yours came up farther up on her neck.I will give it a whirl and see how it turns out. You must just cut your out differently around the neck line. When I have made them they have more of a scoop neck. Clearly I am not a very visual person because I am having trouble figuring out how you make it come up so far on her neck.It's adorable!

ReplyDeleteI think if you try the shirring with the elastic thread you will find that the neck naturally comes up higher.
