    I’m doing what every crazy person does: I found out I’m one of 5 finalists in a nationwide sewing contest on Tuesday (had to submit 1-3 pictures of garment and a paragraph about said garment, and using a pattern from a provided selection) and so I promptly took my project almost completely apart and am obsessively and painstakingly putting it back…[Read more]

    I’m so glad you like them! You’ll have plenty of time to sew for Easter, @justsewit. They are on their way from the printer as I type! We should have time in stock shortly.

    It certainly can be challenging running from one end of the house to the other. But if you plan it out it can be doable – i love my slow cooker for that purpose!

    I had to help cut out a dolphin pattern with Imogen the other day. She sat there and stitched it together by hand minus instructions. With no power I have had no chance to sew but hope…[Read more]

    I’ve made a head start (seeing as I put a child to work – she wants to have so much homework this year to get out of doing dishes – every kids dream escape plan) and am back to the usual on the dishes anyway. The laundry is another story!

  • Not for Easter, but I have been planning Beatrix’s outfit for her 11 month photo.
    I have taken a portrait of each of my babies at 11 months of age, wearing a smocked outfit.
    Beatrix was lucky enough to receive two smocked dresses from her honorary Nana in Canada and the little white dress will be perfect for the photo.
    11 months is such a lovely…[Read more]

    We can hit the machines together @justsewit.

    @lattemama, that sounds amazing. I did some screen printing at school and loved it. I still have my carved lino prints somewhere…. I was heavily influenced by Margaret Preston.

    I understand where you are coming from MC. My husband has offered me his office and he will move to the children’s office/my sewing room but then I will be shut away and probably get less chance to sew.

    I actually sewed today, so excited about that. It is two weeks since I had my surgery but it knocked me for six.

    Congrats on the power back and the all clear @justsewit!

    I took an introductory screen printing class yesterday at a workshop in town. I paid a (very modest) fee for the class and now I have full access to the workshop for a year to make as many screens and print as much as I like. I can even bring the kids there and let them help if I feel like…[Read more]

    I love all of them and the dress is fantastic! I wonder how that will go for nursing? I am suspecting it would be easy to adapt.

    They won’t be ready for Easter will they?

  • Good for you Meleliza! Actually, I have the Edwardian daygown I made for a Royal Agricultural show a few years ago handy should it be that time runs away from me. It’s actually longer than I thought it would be but so very very pretty.

    But I really want to make Mignonette before she starts walking and running away from me! And then I can put it…[Read more]
