Finished the layette bodysuit; thanks for the push Tamara! I think it will be very comfortable for the baby as it is made of double-faced gauze that was a major pain in the patoot to sew. Major. But it’s all done and maybe tomorrow I will finish the pants. Check!

Ooh, is that a hint? Are you getting a present?

Haha, that link is great!

“There’s nothing quite so nerve-wracking as knowing that somebody is seam-ripping right by your butt.”

I second the After School as definitely worth a go. The back yoke on those is fabulous for giving sufficiently high back coverage. So much so that I’ve used the back half of those mashed to other pants fronts.
I imagine if you use a yoke, like Nature Walk, you can shape that how you like, then add a straight hemmed skirt underneath.

Last night, after reading about multi sensory spelling techniques, I decided to make fabric flash cards of elements in the Periodic Table! I made the first 3 alkaline metals, Beryllium (Be), Magnesium (Mg) and Calcium (Ca).
One of the more unusual things I’ve sewn 🙂 These are quite large 6″x4″.

Oh yes I could definitely get behind a swimsuit and cardigan pattern. And for sure any charming boy patterns!

A swimsuit would be amazing! I have tried a few out there and haven’t found one that I liked the fit/instructions yet. Just imagine one designed by Liesl- it would be perfection!

Do the baby stuff first Masha. The layette is a very quick sew. You could do several pairs of pants altogether in one sitting they are so straight forward.

Baby Chloe is now wearing her pyjamas but the bubbles didnt get cut – yet!

Awwww, nice to think I’m having an effect even from the US 🙂

thank you so much for checking for me!
i hadn’t completed the order because of the shipping charges so i’ve sent them an email now asking about it, i hope it gets sorted and i can order the fabric!

I just set up an order for 6 yds @ $24 total and the shipping was $13.30 (in USA) so I think you need to contact their service line.

I never had shipping charges like that. Perhaps you should call their customer service line or send off an email.

my wish is some interesting pants for boys that are more old fashioned – less cargo pant, more knickerbocker. i wish the boy patterns had the same charm that goes into many of the girl ones! but maybe parents that dress their boys like that are less common.

just curious about shipping, I went to order $18 of fabric and the shipping was $22. I know there is a sale but it still seemed quite high, just curious if this was normal.

I also machine sew all my hems!
