Elizabeth has to be in there somewhere!

Awww T, can’t wait to see that. I finished the Popover #8 last night, _ the one that didn’t make the post in time, and have spent most of day taking advantage of sunshine to chose fabrics for a variety of projects. Job done, but my feet are killing me, and the mess I was attempting to clean up is not much improved. But I think I’m ahead on points.…[Read more]

Really looking forward to hearing what names have been chosen; a good friend and I are punting for Alice, and/or Helena. I think that there is also a reasonable chance of ‘Margaret’ being included in the “string”. (This was the name of the current Queen’s sister, and only sibling, dear Republicans).

A baby girl for the Duchess of Cambridge, so exciting!

I just found this via instagram http://www.stitchingupparis.com How awesome would a guided shopping tour of the out of the way fabric stores of Paris be?! Possibly too late for @mariasasse but maybe of use here as a reference.

I have Simplicity 1506 and 2741 but haven’t tried them as yet. One of them is for blokes on the heftier side and it also has boys sizes.

I spent a couple of hours making a teeny tiny music class skirt in mulberry drill. The 6-12 month size looks huge against the 0-3 sized garments but its still jolly tiny.

I just need to add elastic and photograph.

But in the meantime, I am on to the next…..

I have just whipped up the tiniest music class skirt! Its so cute!

I just bought some for full price but more locally. I figured it would save because of exchange rates but I wish I could have gone personally to get it and then would have saved the postage too.

I just noticed that Harts fabric has some really pretty colors of sweatshirt fleece:

@dubhels2003, do you have a link?
I wonder if it is the place mine comes from. I buy ‘seconds’ for the children’s sewing and the flaws are negligible.

Thank you!

My pleasure @Cheri, I look forward to your beautiful creation.

In the end, I rotated the top button hole by 90 degrees. My machine just couldn’t handle that spot between the seam at the yoke and the collar. But it has button holes now! They are resting with some glue.

Thank you Nicole ,
