In the wardrobe / Jersey Courtney
« on: December 03, 2019, 14:39:15 PM »
Finished this SA Courtney top today using BF discounted jersey fabric. The hem is an utter disgrace, it just does what jersey does  :S

I renew my vow to never sew with this type of fabric again  ><

I love the top though  ;)

@Vezelay it's this one. I was lucky to find it in Jaycott's sale a few weeks ago  :) I made View A in size XL. From this pattern I've also made a nightshirt (C) as a christmas pressie for my bestie.

I've finished my robe  :)

It's in cotton lawn from Croft Mill, not quite the right time of year just now, but come springtime I'll be wafting around like a good 'un.

It's oversized and ankle length as I had hoped.

@blackcat001 this is precisely what worries me as I too, rely on my old Janome and don't have a machine waiting in the wings  :)

Fingers crossed all is well and that you get your projects finished on time  ;)

Capes look lovely, don't know if it would work for me. It's not a cape but I really fancy the Style Arc Lux coat pattern  :loveit:

Not going to win any prizes or owt but these cushion covers are what I did make today. One of my fave makes, quick and simple and make a nice change when one is needed  :)

I ordered the fabric for my robe project - as well as some other stuff for a christmas pressie - a few days ago and consequently got a phone call the next day to tell me my robe fabric was out of stock. I requested a refund and said I'd get back to them. So I had a look around and picked an alternative and called them the next day to check they had it in stock before ordering online.

All good, ordered, and received today - 2 metres short :S  They sent me 3 metres each of my two different fabrics but for my robe I wanted 5. Anyway another telephone call and they will send out the remainder and more to cover it.

Now this wouldn't be so bad but the last order before this one was c*cked-up where they didn't send the quantity I ordered.

It's just inconvenient really, as when I call them they always send out the shortfall, and more, to rectify the problem.  Just wondered if anyone else had encountered similar troubles?

@pip welcome, hello  :) I don't have or never used an overlocker, they scare me.  But I said that about the sewing machine I'm currently using and now I love it.

Please show us your makes when you've settled in   :loveit:
