@juliamom2009 I love her response! Both for the sweet concern for her friends, and for how proud it must have made you feel!

I got our Hiccup (http://wm.schoolofdragons.com/SoD/Joomla/templates/schoolofdragons/images/DTV_cg_hiccup_03.png) costume done in time thanks to @maraya giving me great tips on which patterns to use, and then had to make…[Read more]

@with-love-heidi, what is your browser History? 😉
Too funny.

I am thinking shorts with singlet tops as pjs @etc3 does it each year so well.

Thank you @liesl Gibson , I will, it was a lot of fun.

My favourite moment was one of the uncles dragging Hugo’s old go-cart up and down the track with passenger after passenger while 30 odd whooping children ran after them, like a noisy parade.

The no gifts/bring a salad worked beautifully. The mix of delicious food was wonderful and we ate the…[Read more]
Nicole replied to the topic Where to add length in the forum liesl + co: everyday skirt 10 years ago

I have never lengthened a skirt that much Charlene but I would consider adding length in two places. I would divide the the panel into thirds and add the length at these lines.
Does that make sense? So you don’t end up with too exaggerated an A-line.

It is a lovely skirt.

We don’t have costumes and we don’t have a party to go to this year (the youth centre put one on for the kids last year). The kids are throwing suggestions around and dh has just told them we are Not doing any of it. I have had to explain to him the origins of the Halloween tradition and how it has become commercialised.

Anyway, I hope everyone…[Read more]

Hello,
I have made this as written and it turned out beautifully. I am excited to make more, and was hoping to turn this into a maxi skirt. How would I do this with the side panels though? Adding length to the front and back seems easy enough, but the side panels are A lined and I’ve never done that before. Thanks for helping this (relatively)…[Read more]

But I love the idea of pyjamas and holiday wear, can’t wait to see all those adorable/gorgeous things everyone makes! What are people planning? I think I might go for red plaid/tartan (what’s the difference? I think somebody asked before) this year, and flannel pyjamas.

Haha, Heidi, your tablet is so cheeky!

I confess that I feel unable, with all my grey hair, to say ‘linky party’ with a straight face. These internet catchphrases are a bit past my time, or should I say, past my timey-wimey, haha.

The kid’s costume got completed this morning….at about 5:30 a.m.! She had a Halloween costume parade at her school, where the kindergarten kids wear their costumes for all the older kids. As they were lining up, Julia was checking out the other costumes – she pulled me aside and said “Mom, I think all these people BOUGHT these…[Read more]

Nicole, I hope you’ll post photos of everything so we can see! And I hope it was a fun party for everyone, especially the parents! xo

I’ve just traced off a mash up of the lullaby layette bodysuit with the top of the badminton top!
I’ve also made changes to the class picnic top to make a beautiful dress 🙂

My tablet wanted to change the “l”, in linky, to a “k”! 🙂
Nicole replied to the topic 'Big' Cake Recipes in the forum Cooking and Baking 10 years ago

Thank you all so much for your advice and help. I made the cake and saved a small fortune!

@Ann-Maree, I used your excellent idea of two cakes. Whilst Hugo and Co were making speeches and ‘cutting the cake’ a good friend and I were cutting and plating up the other cake, close by.
By the time speeches were done, cake was ready to be eaten.

Thank you!

I have a lot of Christmas sewing planned, whether I get there is another thing.
Is it just me or does ‘linky party’ bug anyone else? Even my Macbook doesn’t want to type it.

Link up party, maybe?

Hello Lovelies, so nice to read that people are sewing.

Tilly received a last minute 6th Birthday invite and the little girls mother asked me to sew something so nicely, I couldn’t say no. She requested something ‘Kardashian’ style and it took a wee bit of research (by the Twins) to find out that there is a children’s label.

Luckily, I had a…[Read more]

It’s very cute 🙂 It’s drying as I had to wash out the stabiliser I used for the hem. Yes I’ll get pictures up 🙂
