Tech Know How / Downtime Today (5th November)
« on: November 05, 2018, 16:47:10 PM »
Just letting you know that the downtime we have suffered from this afternoon is down to our webhosts.  It was not under our control, and we had no warning of it.  The information is here - such as it is.

We have no idea whether there is more to come.

Yes - or make a new bodice from a T&T pattern in a toning fabric.

It's at the bottom - scroll right down to the bottom of the page and it should be on the right hand side.

If it's not there could you post a screenshot please.   :)

Patterns Discussion / Style Arc Mavis
« on: October 24, 2018, 16:24:05 PM »
Has anybody made the Style Arc Mavis top?



The line drawings show a fairly loose neck, but the reviews on Pattern Review make it look quite narrow.  The only photo on the Style Arc listing doesn't show the neck very well, and it has clearly been made with ribbed jersey anyway, so doesn't really give an indication of how it would be in ordinary knit jersey.

It doesn't matter terribly, because I will happily just give it an ordinary neckband, but I would like to know whether it's worth bothering with the polo in the first place.  I can't bear close fitting polos.

The other thing I wondered about was whether it would work with inserts made of woven fabric rather than jersey.

I think that (M7478) is a gorgeous coat.  If I went in more at the waist I would most definitely be making it!

Fun with Fabric / Re: Fabric Adhesive?
« on: October 24, 2018, 08:57:59 AM »
I've had this one delivered by Amazon several times, and it works brilliantly at sticking wadding to fabric. 

BTW the only thing about it that's violet (as per the title) is the can!

I think that is 7pm for us in the UK.    :D

Have a wonderful time!!
