Jo, why not check with a pair of pyjamas he uses, to get an idea of the ease he is used to?

Silk pyjamas sound wonderful....:)

Veg, that's lovely!  Just shows, you don't have to spend a fortune on fabric.

I know Veg..... :(  but DD reminded me that baby bump will expect a Peter Rabbit next year, and baby bump has a baby cousin who would like one too....

No rest for busy fingers.

I was taking some stuff into the local charity shop, and happened to look around while I was there.  There were 2 balls of a fawn coloured Sirdar 100g, and 2 balls of blue Sirdar 200g all for £2!

Absolutely perfect for the 2 Peter Rabbits which are to be done for next Easter!   :) :)

Try using a bit of Blue tac on the end of a cocktail stick for the teeny tiny bits.  I have big hands, and really struggled, but this little tool helped a lot.

When will we see it?  ;)

I bought some black last week, thought it would be good for trousers, but it's far too lightweight (it was double on the roll).  Wonder if a shirtdress is the answer?  I still haven't done the Bernina Shirtdress that's been threatened.

I'm so envious of all your lovely frocks.....

Has she any idea how embarrassed she could be?  :o

I'm waiting to hear how the fit compares to the Surefit Bodge, that will be interesting! 

Why are trousers so difficult to fit?

I saw that one, and the blouse fitted her very well.  I like Peggy, and I enjoy her sew-alongs, she also does the shorter Youtube videos on a Monday.

Never used her patterns, just enjoy watching her.
