Sewing Bee

[Cocolapew]

New thread for this weeks 🙂

37 pieces?!

My friend is dating a chap called Terry who she refers to as Terry Towelling.

That includes the triangles and the belt.

Just how long it would take to cut out. I can take longer cutting than sewing.

Do like these historical bits.

Cutting out is always the worst bit.

Yeah, it would probably take me two hours to cut it out and then two hours to make a total pigs ear of it.

I want one of these dressing gowns. Maybe with googly eyes stuck on.

I bet they are a right bastard to turn through

😂

Googly eyes would be perfect!

The eyes they have are very dead. Do you think they would object if someone did slit eyes instead of round?

I usually get my DH to turn belts out for me. He has the patience for it.

“I don’t understand how the child works”

I have 25 years experience and I still don’t understand how the child works.

Noone use the ribbon trick for turning out.

Hi, kids. I've made you a mole rat bath robe!

I basically only sew for myself so I want to see things i might make!

Fauve has done a Welsh dragon!

The teeth just ruin these entirely - they should have been doubled for stiffness and smaller.

I agree. They don't work and I'm not sure how to get them right.

I don't suppose any of us wear clothes made out of paintings. I quite like children's week although I don't make clothes for children much any more.

And you don't want to make and wear a dragon dressing gown?!!!

Sometimes I find Fauve annoying and then she really makes me laugh. I'm enjoying her so far this week.

I have never been able understand bias binding.

To be fair, I kind of do!
