Jan Andrea at home on the web The URL for this page is: Fleece ring sling with sewn-in pleats the finished ring sling. Cutting out the excess material allows the sling to be adjusted far more easily than if it is left in, and it doesn't compromise the security of the sling. You can make a fleece sling with regular overlapping pleats, but then a lot of material is going through the rings, and it's thicker and less comfortable. Materials needed: Fabric yardage : See chart below. What size to make? See my sling sizing page for more information, and add several inches to the numbers shown there, to account for hemming and sewing in the rings. Polar fleece caveats: Polar fleece usually has some stretch going from cut edge to cut edge, and a lot of stretch going from selvage to selvage. Fabric widths: Most polar fleece comes in a 60" width. Sewing the sling: the finished ring sling. Link to me! Did you use this pattern and like it? Here is a little graphic you can use:
Welcome – St. Jude's Fabrics Search for the Perfect Dress Form | Whipstitch As any woman who has ever had a baby can tell you, our bodies are not rubber bands, and they don’t bounce back right away. It’s almost funny (almost) how many men seem to really think that: enter hospital pregnant, have baby, leave hospital in pre-pregnancy clothes. If only. Five months ago, we brought home our fourth baby. So right now, I’ve been working with a lot of knits, things that I have some hope of fitting into now and that will fit me again later, after nursing is done and I’ve had a chance to get running again. Enter: the Dress Form. So today, a round-up of the candidates as I narrow down my search and get ready to commit to a dress form. Rae inspired me to look at Uniquely You, a dress form I’d heard of previously and whose adaptable sizing makes it my front-runner. On the whole, these dress forms range from $99 up to $750, with most falling in the $200-$300 range. For myself, I’m still on the fence.
Faux Fur Peter Pan Collar Tutorial (with free pattern!) Inspired by vintage accessories, we came up with this cute Peter Pan collar. The pom poms are a favorite around here and add a fun touch. Not only is this a cute project, but it comes together quickly. You can easily use leftover fabric from the faux fur coat collar, as we did. In that tutorial, we drafted a custom collar to match a coat. In this one, we’re giving you a free pattern, making it a much faster project. Because this collar is tied on over a blouse, sweater, or jacket, it’s quite adjustable and would make an adorable gift. Download the pattern here or click the link at the bottom of this post.

Wayward Daughter: Peter Pan Collar Tutorial Peter Pan collars are my absolute favourite. I bought this little nautical dress and an identical floral one weeks and weeks ago with a view to adding cute collars to them but I've only just found the time to actually do it.
