Hello everyone!!
Just a quick one. Want to join in PolkaDotFrockFest, live in the UK but haven’t yet got your pattern?
Good news, jaycotts have got New Look patterns at half price.
Just checked this morning and we haven’t depleted their stocks of New Look 6000…… yet!!
Oh dear, I’ve now bought the pattern and a whole pile of overlocking thread. Internet shopping is a dangerous thing
Hehehe! I know – luckily I *really don’t need* any more patterns at the moment so am able to resist, but this feels like a first- I usually find some great reason to snap up the deals!!
Hello! Am I too late to join in with this? One slight glitch in following New Look 6000 – I’m 20 weeks pregnant! But I am rather taken by the idea of making a polka dot frock ready to show off my bump when it makes a proper appearance. Can I still join in? Am just looking on Jaycotts now – you have spurred me on to buy a pattern or two…
Not too late at all Janet – but congratulations!!!
Maybe you could make a New Look 6000 inspired dress that will see you through your maternity?
http://kitchentablesewing.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/dreaming-up-polka-dot-frock.html Here’s my progress so far – not exactly New Look 6000, but I am going all out on the polka dot front. Think I will opt for the lovely big and little fun silk polka dots on navy… eek. Most definitely the most money I have ever spent on a piece of fabric. This had better work (and will hopefully be adaptable to a post maternity smaller frock so I get loads of wear!)
Hiya
I was just about to buy and participate but it says this is a misses pattern, does that mean loads and loads of alterations?
Oo, sorry, I never notice things like that. I don’t think it does hanny, correct me if I’m wrong but I think some patterns companies use the word ‘ misses’ but doesn’t mean it’s for youngsters and no curves…I am generally more curvy than most patterns so always treat the side seams and darts with caution and am prepared to make adjustments. This might not help you though!! Anyone else got any thoughts?
Hi Winnie…erm…not sure what I am supposed to do exactly, but finished my polka dotty dress! It’s on my blog: http://sewmanju.wordpress.com/2013/02/08/new-look-6000-polka-dot-frock-fest/. Also, is anyone else having problems showing your badge on their blog? Or is it just me? Looking forward to seeing everyone else’s…Manju
