Masha, I have been thinking of you constantly since you posted your news. I am so glad there has been improvement and that you seem to have a really awesome network of support. It is probably for the best that Niko is having formula some of the time.

Of course like Janice has said in her post above, the success rate of recovery from strokes is…[Read more]

It is probably for the best that Niko is having formula some of the time (although, I have never done this and am wondering how it would effect your supply).

On phone please excuse grammar
As long as this does not leave the sleeve cap and under arm too tight
How about two back French darts at the back , below the shoulders and darting the centre back of the sleeve ?

There’s nothing that I would like more

Sewing friends sure are the best
Better than all of the rest
They’re there every time
To offer a rhyme
And to help if you’ve messed up your vest!

I have finally finished my daughters vintage pattern trench coat. (Happy dance)

I am looking forward to sewing her twin’s Lisette Moto jacket. Far less fabric to negotiate.

Oh I am sorry life has been so tough Masha, but oh so glad you have help at the challenging time. Great to hear that he has shown some improve too.

Tamara you could try burda 9606. I have used it for my boys, despite the fact that there is a girl on the front.

Thank you ladies. We are fortunate to have very good support – so many people have brought food that we don’t have room in our refrigerator. And I have lots of help with the children. I am trying to balance spending time with them and being at the hospital, as my husband is sad when I leave. My in-laws are here so we are taking shifts.

How frustrating Tamara!
I’m trying my first straight stitch society pattern, I have all the pieces cut for the Have It All Wallet. Now to see if I can find the interfacing!
