I'm slowly trying to get myself thinking "there is always more fabric to buy".tigergirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09229270869667028807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-75994180518156589.post-13468204714404551282013-02-15T21:34:49.515+10:002013-02-15T21:34:49.515+10:00I'll definately be going the shorter sleeves r...I'll definately be going the shorter sleeves route, like you - love that look.

When I'm sewing a casing, I usually put the elastic/cord in the fold as I sew (to the right of the foot) so that I don't have to take the extra step of threading!<br /><br />I keep meaning to re-cover my sewing chair, but there are always so many other projects, and I'm foolishly afraid that I might want to use my fabric for something else. Although it's orange flowers and more "me" than "us." Sometimes I miss living alone ;)<br /><br />I'm on a stashbusting mission of my own, although I haven't signed up for the pledge.

With Butterick 5608, I've shortened the sleeve because it doesn't work to well if it's longer. I can't get my arm through the little gap! So Butterick 5608 is a good stash busting top option.<br />You really have a fabulous eye for prints and colour. If you can restrain yourself at all, your definitely much better than me. I'm too easily swayed, so I just need to keep myself busy - sewing;)<br />I look forward to Mr T's new shirt. Mr V will be getting something new next week too:)velosewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18241344721302194932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-75994180518156589.post-59838227255126821292013-01-31T08:49:44.010+10:002013-01-31T08:49:44.010+10:00I wanted the cover to be easily removed - it seeme...I wanted the cover to be easily removed - it seemed the easiest option. I had to go to the same shopping centre with Lincraft in it again yesterday - I stayed well away.<br />Tigerboy decided to join the stashbusting sewalong too (he's such a sheep!) - for him it's no more wood or tools for wood working, he's already busy trying to make excuses for purchases ha ha ha ha. Maybe if your family had hobbies that needed materials they might understand? Tigerboy wouldn't have had a clue until he took up woodworking.tigergirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09229270869667028807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-75994180518156589.post-15437049476692883422013-01-31T08:45:04.888+10:002013-01-31T08:45:04.888+10:00Thanks!

They arrived yesterday - the puffin and leaf fabrics are much better in person, unfortunately, as I feared, the background of the parrot fabric is more lemon in real life - not a colour that I'm fond of and I don't think it looks good on tigerboy either so I have to think about whether it should be an entire shirt or not.<br />tigergirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09229270869667028807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-75994180518156589.post-23224319341660645942013-01-31T08:42:36.328+10:002013-01-31T08:42:36.328+10:00I've never taken a pledge before BeaJay becaus...I've never taken a pledge before BeaJay because my will power is close to nonexistent but the overflowingness (yes, I made that up) is really starting to get to me so it was time.
