    Yes, the reviews all say it is fabulous to wear and doesn’t come undone. I showed my sister the pattern and she got very excited about the cup sizing it caters for (she has been very blessed in the bust department). Of course I have to make mine first before really convincing her😜.

    At the moment though, my guests have departed and we have two…[Read more]

  • I’m doing the final press of the pleats before adding the elastic, the Anna coronation skirt is nearly complete!
    Tamara the Appleton dress is wonderful! I wear mine a lot. It’s become my go to dress for dressier occasions but also when I just want to look fantastic but fell like I’m wearing pajamas 🙂

    Well the instructions were from the doctors to do “nothing” but being an active person there is no way he can sit and have a forced holiday for the whole 6 weeks! Besides we have people coming out to help with the broken down windmills so he needs to be up and at ’em. Mind you last night he was really feeling it as he has been sitting around and…[Read more]

    If you are asking after my darling hubby, then yes he is but he can’t do anything and it is driving him (and me) insane. He is doing silly things like reversing the car out of the garage because he “wants to help” but he twinged a muscle getting Chloë from her cot after her nap the other day and was feeling very sorry for himself.

    And you should…[Read more]

    Yes, I am grateful and lucky. Who would think that a school with 7 Kinders alone would be a gift? Although there are only 6 classes of 1st and 2nd and 3-5 only have 4 each. (Our Kinders max out at 16 students per class, so it isn’t as huge as you’d think.)

    But based on after school behavior today only, if that continues, this was SOOOOOO the…[Read more]

    My shoulders are on the broader side so i think I can get away with a slightly bigger size. I will measure again and try doing a FBA. Thank you for your help!

    We are still plodding away at the curtains – but I am so itching to sew a garment😳

    We are just about finished sewing the curtains for the lounge room and then hopefully we can get onto the tab tops for the sewing room. And we HAVE to put the tinting stuff on the window to save my fabric!

    I went to Spotlight yesterday and bought this most amazing…[Read more]

    Oh she had totally crossed the line with the secrets thing!! Oh.My.Goodness!! My mum is a teacher and has been for as long as I have been around. She would be absolutely appauled at the things you’ve mentioned about the teacher’s behaviour. You just don’t do those things without some course of communication between the parent, principal and…[Read more]

    I would do a FAB. I also have a large difference between my ribcage and full bust and do FBA’s on knit tops. Also how wide are your shoulders/highbust? As this will affect the fit of the shoulders and neckline. Good luck!

  • sasha started the topic Lisette B6295 in the forum off topic 9 years ago

    I am going to sew view B (tank top w/ built in bra) from the Lisette pattern B6295. I am sewing it out of a cotton knit with spandex to wear as a sleep top. I have not sewn for myself before, just my kids. I have a a small rib cage compared to my cup size. I am excited to make a top that actually fits. Should I just take my chest measurement and…[Read more]

    Oh the scissors. My son came up to me with my office/paper scissors and said they weren’t cutting. I examined them and found sticky gunky tape residue on them. My son is a tape fiend. I told him they wouldn’t cut because they were covered in sticky residue. I watched the light bulb click on over his head. I washed them. I gave him the evil…[Read more]
