Velosews

These are brilliant examples of the 60s

I never thought about that aspect of our living Grace. Cycling on the road locally isn't safe and our cycling bodies advocate for safer riding conditions all the time. It's ongoing

My coord aka tracksuit for #st4s25 A coord for summer or Winter as the case may be Full on brushed tricot polyester from Minerva UK.

Remember polyester tricot knit? It still exists, hence this 70s tracksuit

I went meeting room 'shopping'

And it's still being sewn now. I do like stripes though😀

Thanks. I'm a bit like that ... pattern matching geek

Excellent seam pattern matching!!

Thanks Grace. I've made that adjustment now

Velosews is here. She sews. She bikes. She podcasts. Sometimes, she sews bicycling clothes velosews.com
She's in Australia, which is why she is sewing coats right now

Thanks for explaining why I'm sewing Winter clothes Grace😀😀

'When hoarding patterns is worth doing.'
McCalls 3184 from 2001 was never culled from my stash. I added 12cm to the width, lengthened the bodice and sleeves (now shirred).
My shape has changes but I still suit fitted styles.

Let's just say, lots of pins were used.
Thanks heaps

The more I look at it, the more impressed I am by your pattern matching, too.

Is there a setting to allow dms

Thanks. There was a lot of planning and measuring...and unpicking too
