Its Spencer Ogg's weekend bag - I picked it because it matches Air Canada's personal item dimensions - but I've gotta say that the video which comes iwth the cabin taught me an awful lot about bag making (I've made garments for ever but this was only my 2nd bag). Escape-Pod Travel Collection. PDF Sewing Pattern & Video Tutorial – SpencerOgg I like the gusset too - depending on materials it makes it MUCH easier to see inside as it holds itself up when empty. Thank you for the link to the web site. There are lots of great items that I want to make, but I really should finish some of the stuff that I have started...... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least the last two times I've cruised through the fabric store I haven't bought anything. But I haven't finished an old project either. The benefits of having a 'studio' for painting, sewing and other hobbies are great, but being able to leave things FOREVER is not one of the benefits. It's just shameful. I think I'll march out there right now and SEW SOMETHING. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, at the moment no sewing is happening as DH and myself have volunteered for the Tim Hortons Brier in London, ON 🥌🥌🥌 But the uniform required black pants or jeans, dashed to Fabricland and purchase some black denim and more black thread and made the Jalie 3243 Pull on Pants and shorts. Sorry, no pictures at the moment but they went together fairly easily. As most of my height is in my legs I added an inch at the bottom and if I make them again I would also make the pockets a bit wider and deeper (to hold phone better) have a great week, Sue >M< 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redlady62 Posted April 1, 2023 #1656 Share Posted April 1, 2023 Ta Dah! I have images of the Jalie 3243. It is a challenge to photograph dark coloured items 🤣 The other image is from the final round robin game and one of the volunteer's is a photographer and she has been uploading all of the photos she had been taken during the 10 days of the Tim Hortons Brier. She has requested that her photos not be cropped and the watermark to stay.... I have no problem with that 💕. The young kids with us are Future Stars of curling and they were hosted by the 'home team' on sheet A. That night it was Wild Card #3 Karsten Sturmay from Alberta. The 'kids' each received a team shirt as well as other collectable memorabilia from the team. Watching the team practice prior to the start of the game. Have a great week every one, Sue >M< 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pattern would be good for scrub pants as well, the initial reason for the pattern purchase but I never got around to it and now that I am retired I have no need for scrubs.

gail-s Posted May 2, 2023 #1659 Share Posted May 2, 2023 Has anyone ever come across a pattern for something like the Diane Kroe Wear Ever dress? It's a jersey dress that has snaps along the long side so you can wear it multiple ways. I'm tempted to buy one to template it. https://dianekroe.com/en-us/collections/wear-ever-skirt-dress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! I actually had 2 of those dresses that I never wore and eventually got rid of. It sounds like a great idea in theory, but I could never make it look good. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrgabriel Posted May 8, 2023 #1663 Share Posted May 8, 2023 Christine Jonson has a multi-tie dress that gives options, although not exactly like the dress you posted.

redlady62 Posted May 15, 2023 #1664 Share Posted May 15, 2023 A bit more sewing done, just some no show briefs from Green Style Patterns along with their Nora nightgown. The nightgown is made in a polartec fabric that I purchased many, many years ago to make some thermal underwear as well as nightgown... (purchased in 2004!!! Ekk!) and the briefs are made from Chitosante Interlock from Discovery Fabrics. The fabric did not have the required stretch and I found a blog (How to Choose a size with Negative Ease) that helped with determining what size I should cut in that fabric. I also did cut for the Full Tummy adjustment. These will be coming along for our July cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geocruiser Posted May 18, 2023 Author #1666 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Help with sergers. I uses Viking macinies and do have a serger. But I want one that does a cover stitch and air thread. The only one that I saw with Viking is Amber air 600. What do you use for a cover stitch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a coverstitch that also has the option for top coverstitching - like you see on athletic wear. It's a bit finicky and takes some time to master but once you get it, very professional results. The only thing I dislike about the coverstitch is needing so many spools of thread (or winding a bunch of bobbins). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geocruiser Posted June 6, 2023 Author #1668 Share Posted June 6, 2023 I am still looking at machines. Will wait for a sale to come up. The viking models, the store does not have them in stock now. So I can't go look at it.. I will use the surger that I have nw until a good deal comes along. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I first started sewing I did not know the difference. But once I used the right type of needle with the right fabric, What a difference it made.

One chart is the finished size and there is another chart based on body measurements Does it run true to size?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
