  • Ditto; so generous of you to take the time to ‘write’ all your work.

  • I’ll look out for your picture of your AP dress, Simpson5. I’d love to do it with both skirts – just for fun.

    Babies grow far, far too fast.
    Their childhood I know will not last.
    Some days might drag on
    Sewing goals are not won
    Before their babyhood is gone.

  • Edit: it should be “queen size overlay” not “Queensland overlay”. Stupid autocorrect πŸ™

    I’m so glad you agree! I will show here the two patterns (one I haven’t got yet) and she can decide.

    I am trying to pin sleeves onto the three playdate dresses all whilst having ChloΓ« on my lap “passing” me the pins. I have to give her a job to do or my job doesn’t get done!

    Tonight once she is in bed I can sit down and decide what to do the…[Read more]

  • I don’t mind too much if I’m in the headspace, although company is even better πŸ™‚ Some of the things have been in my mending pile since last year! I ended up with a spare day and felt like getting through my sewing “to do” list πŸ™‚
    Things done: blue onesie, school tracksiut pants mended, stripe jumper mended.
    Things skipped: sewing brown buttons…[Read more]

    @withloveHeidi may I send you my mending? I hate that kind of sewing!

    So all three yokes have minipiping firmly attached and I have one pinned and ready to sew – all whilst texting to find out how the outdoor ed camp went.

    I had a request to use the pink denim for a jacket – I can really see this as a moto and would use the Lisette pattern for…[Read more]

  • I can imagine that skirt on your twins πŸ™‚ Elsa in particular. I hope it comes out well.

    I’ve sewn my third baby onesie from Ottobre, there’s so many babies due this year I’m trying to get ahead on gifts. The onsies are so quick and easy and pair beautifully with the lullaby layette pants and jackets πŸ™‚

    Planning on working on my mending list…[Read more]

    It looks like a wrap skirt to me. Sounds like an interesting sew. I will be looking forward to having a look, no doubt you will blog it?!@motherof5

    Oh she wore pink on camp and the housemother commented they wouldn’t lose her because of it. I have my doubts as to it ever going away fully.

    I have some hot pink stretch denim she is aching for me…[Read more]

    Slowly does it I’m afraid @Nicole he is on “light duties” and we plan to start seeding the crop dry around Anzac and “plod” our way through.

    The gator is the best thing since sliced bread – very economical and uses less fuel oer km than the motorbike – so my digging in of the no bike heels has paid off to great advantage – never liked bikes…[Read more]

    There is not a lot of hand holding with this company though. My Twins love the style but I have to concentrate and do a lot of googling to figure things out.

    Enjoy your daughter liking pink, that will likely fade out…[Read more]

    I hope Murray continues to heal @justsewit

    @thejennigirl (moving the conversation over here) my husband was really excited to see a seed&super unit (farm equipment) for sale online, for a really good price, think $10,000 under what it should be. He spent the day ringing the listed number to finally contact the exasperated vendor. The listing was…[Read more]
