You are the parent and you know your child best. I completely understand the dilemma you are facing as I think it has been made obvious on this forum that my household has had its fair share of issues with our school.

I wish you a very calm and cooperative meeting with many positive things coming out of it on Friday. As for your daughter, we had…[Read more]

I’m in a stressful week. WeeGee’s Kindergarten teacher has been a bad fit. Our daughter adores her because the teacher makes school “fun”. I know the teacher adores our daughter, but it is a bad fit.

I have no problem with the fun. Kids should enjoy learning. But we’ve had incidents about the “fun”.

Since starting kinder, my daughter…[Read more]

4 messenger bags done! Including the snaps I add as closures. Yay! And with a couple of days to spare 🙂
Just need photos and wrapping.

My six-year-old vastly prefers knits to wovens. I make a lot of Playtime leggings for her. They are her very favorite thing to wear. She also really likes a knit dress I made for her by lengthening the Sailboat top pattern. That said, she will wear most dresses. She does not love collars but I can usually talk her into them. It’s funny, she…[Read more]

I hope you will post photos of the dress, Tamara!

Speaking of sewing tiny things, I am knee-deep in doll clothes to accompany the dolls my girls will get for Christmas. There are a billion free patterns for the 18″ dolls online, but as is often the case with free patterns, I am finding them to be hit or miss. I can’t bring myself to pay money…[Read more]

Glad the dress was done! And how exciting that the Principal noticed how well dressed she was!

The dress turned out fantastic and she looked very grown up – the Principal even commented on how pretty it was and her shoes! Alas I didn’t get to take a photo – hands full with a wriggly baby. Now it is covered in meatball sauce and needs a wash.

I think I will make it a tiny bit longer next time as she had issues when sitting (it rode up…[Read more]

Please call on me if you need 🙂 I have at least one more to make for my mum and I’m thinking I might make another 4 for another family of kids. Partly because I can almost make the patten in my sleep having been unwell and quite stressed I’m loving straight following the pattern and having it already traced out 🙂
Don’t forget to check the errata…[Read more]

I am so pleased it worked out @enbee

@with-love-heidiHeidi, I am *finally* about to tackle that pattern. I hope I can call on you if I need to.

I have been sewing for Trixie. A Playtime tunic&leggings, a Bubble dress+bloomers, a Puppet Show+ shorts, a 2+2 blouse and now a Sailboat top and trousers.

I love how quick and rewarding tiny clothes sewing is.

What are the rest of you…[Read more]

Aiming to finish the last of the 4 messenger bags. I need to get them to my friend I the next 2 days as they fly out next week!
