JWo started the topic Has anyone made the class picnic shorts for a boy? in the forum oliver + s: class picnic 10 years ago
I want to make some shorts for an 18 month old boy. My friend likes to put her boy in short shorts because she likes his “chubby thighs”! Stubbies http://www.stubbies.co.nz/about-us/ were very popular in New Zealand and Australia in the 70’s and I’d like to recreate something similar for my friend. So, has anyone put a boy in this pattern or are…[Read more]

Brenda – YES, I found those patterns! I used the jumper pattern for Molly (which was the original doll I owned) as the base for all the dresses I sewed and it worked great.
Good luck with your jacket. My husband has a soft shell that he loves – but it cost an arm and a leg; even $20 fabric is a bargain in comparison!
I am finding myself with…[Read more]

Any special traditions you’d like to share with us? Favorite dishes? I managed to find canned pumpkin here in Madrid, so this weekend I’ll be making my Grandma’s pumpkin pie recipe. This evening we went out for sushi to celebrate–we’re not really big on turkey.
But my big news for the holiday is that today I finally finished the book manuscript!…[Read more]

Tamara replied to the topic Stupid things I've done while sewing O&S patterns in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 10 years ago
I am starting to think that this lingering bug is now wreaking havoc with my brain! I gathered up my supplies and patterns in hand decided to set up at the dining table to trace the next size off, 12-18 months whilst Chloë was asleep. I was tracing the sailboat pattern (because the kid has hips and even though I did trace the 6-12 month size in…[Read more]

Tamara, ironing is fine! As long as it’s not being forced on anyone, and people who need a crisply ironed shirt in a hurry are taking care of that for their own selves.

With the kids fed and watered early tonight, I might be able to get into the sewing room.
I have decided everyone in the immediate family will receive a clothing parcel from me this year, to boost up the closet choice and to save time on trying to find something else.
They will each get a pair of pj’s (boys will have sleep shorts)
and an outfit…[Read more] -

Oh hilariously funny! It is good to have a chuckle at all this.
When my son was born I was listing off all the things this boy was going to learn from me, to my mil. She fairly laughed! But you know save for a few things that he is yet to learn, we are doing alright. I may yet one day make any prospective daughter in law of mine very proud!

I am fine with a cheap iron. Nicer irons have lept off a wobbly ironing board to meet an early demise.
