I have been pretty much living and sewing vicariously through facebook, instagram and flickr feeds! How sad is that, never mind, I won’t be this tired for ever!

Nicole, I’m amazed by the birthday planning, hope you all had an amazing time. And that oven…total envy for me there. Can’t afford to get our kitchen sorted for some time!

Hi Mardee

Such a lot of wonderful sewing ideas and what a huge project in the quilt! I have quilted table quilts and a bedquilt (which was really a large lap quilt) each for my two older children. It all depends on the design of quilting you go for. I searched through Leah Day’s site (freemotion quilting project) for ideas and tutorials of the…[Read more]

I am so glad it is all coming together nicely. I hope she loves it feels very pretty in it. Looking firward to seeing the photos.

Wow, those Ice Cream dresses are BEAUTIFUL! My daughter gets baptized in 6 months and I’m totally using that pattern after seeing how gorgeous those fabrics are!

I went over and measured the little girl. Her bust is 36 inches. Her waist and hips are also 36 inches wide and she is average height for an 8 year old. I debated using the Ice Cream…[Read more]

Love these versions with contrast fabric. Thanks!

Hello, all! It’s exciting to read about so many sewing projects! Right now I am trying to finish a patchwork quilt (queen size) that I am making for my daughter and SIL for Christmas. All the piecing is done – I just need to add the border, batting and backing and then quilt. This will be my first large quilt using freehand machine quilting, so…[Read more]

Ok,I think it’s fairly easy to add it to the “tag” section using the phone app.

When I searched the pool for monochrome, they only come up if it’s in the tag box. Easy to do from a pc but phone uploads perhaps not so?
More than half of the images were found by trawling the the Flickr pool as they didn’t appear in search results.
Rachel and i were talking about doing it as a link party and that’s heaps easier. That way YOU do…[Read more]

I take it the maiden voyage was a huge success then😜 I am thrilled you have had the chance to sew, let alone finish the project. Hip hip hooray! Have you had the chance to put it on flickr yet? Need to go looksee.

I have been sewing the two bubble dresses I had planned for this week but hit a slight snag. The front outer skirt was a tad longer…[Read more]

I think @lightningmcstitch will do the round up. Where is it most easily searchable for a tag??

Finally finished a long-planned outfit for the baby – a long-sleeved Lullaby Layette shirt and set of Playtime leggings using Lillestoff jersey I splurged on while I was pregnant. Most exciting – it was the maiden voyage of my new coverstitch machine! I have been stretching the hems incessantly just to watch them streeeeeetch without popping seams.
