    Oh yes we are laughing here too! Only to keep from crying instead. Its just too warm for winter and just so ridiculous how I have to put the air conditioner on to get the temp to ideal.

    I finished the pyjamas and she’s wearing them now. But they are a little big and I made the arms very long! They are cute though.

    I hope to continue on with the…[Read more]

  • I’m having a laugh at the “below 18”, I don’t think we had one day this week where the maximum was 15 let alone 18 🙂 (temperature conversion for USA 18C=64.4F 15C=59F)
    I’ve been working on the WIP box again today. I finished one pair of PJ pants, 3 shirred dolls skirts and one dress up cape. I also discovered the second box is at least half…[Read more]

  • Yes, for cutting out in the beginning. But diagram to me looks like it is showing open on right. It is very slight in picture.

    I think I need to send the mending your way Heidi. I just hate mending! Probably because the things needing to be mended are work shirts with huge rips in them and generally are tossed in the rag bag.

    I am happily plugging away at a nearly completed Kimono top to accompany the bottoms. Hopefully, the lamb will sleep long enough for me to finish…[Read more]

  • Oh wow, so exciting!
    Yes, I have now replied to you. I had to go and find the private messages. Looking forward to sewing up my new patterns 🙂
    Thank you, Rachel, Liesl And Todd for running the competition and having great patterns.

  • I’ve a few things in my mending pile, boys are so hard on their knees! I have one pair of synthetic trackies with holes where he’s managed to melt the fabric! It must have been some impressive slides on the floor 🙂
    Nicole, I don’t mind mending if I’ve got good company to talk to while I do it 🙂

    Its been a week of wanting to get to sew but not getting to sew for me! Lots of distractions including the baby not sleeping too well during the day. Thankfully, I have been rewarded with the chance this morning and am now up to binding the legs of the sleep over pj’s I managed to cut out this morning. They have only been sitting there on the…[Read more]

  • I find if I carefully stretch the main to match the binding, just a bee’s whisker mind, there are less puckers.

    I will pin her down Britters, I don’t think I have ever so anyone something and received such an ecstatic result.
    It is so nice.

    Heidi, it’s a pity you are not closer, my mending pile is huge! 😉

  • I would slash and spread along the middle of the buttock and mark the point on the facing adding the same amount to that.

  • Is there a direction written to place one side on a fold?
