Oh, this is amazing! Thank you so much, @timpson! @Robin, if you have a chance to look for it, I’m very interested in it. I’ve been told it’s a knit, but it doesn’t really look like it in the photo, does it?

How exciting @avashmava! I love baby girls and their layettes😉 having a recent one myself who is now a toddler and in need of size 2 (already?) clothes she’s tall for her 21 months of age but slimmer than my two older children (and has waaay more of an outdoorsy nature to boot!)

I’ve made the cargos with reinforced knees.
This photo links to the flicker tutorial I made for the double knees on the cargos.

Just purchased mine and 2 more for gifts!! @thesimpson5, boy can I relate!! And a women’s book would be wonderful Liesl!!

My daughter is already jumping in on the fun too with her ideas. I have some great ideas for my boys too!! This book is even better than I imagined it would be. Thank you so much for all your hard work that went into this Liesl!

I’ve lost count of how many instagram posts I’ve seen with photos of newly delivered books. 🙂
Postage to here will be much slower but I’m still excited!

I’m so glad you’re all excited about this! We’re going to have a lot of fun with it, I promise.

My husband has learnt his line.
I say “check out this invisible zip”
He says “what zip?”
