I think Sarvi was being kind.

I think Sarvi was being kind.

We all choose to do things in our own individual way Sarvi! They are necessary items that take five minutes to make so its not as if I am breaking any unwritten rule or anything. I’d rather be comfortable and not have unsightly wet patches on my clothes!

Besides, my baby is two weeks old and the last time I sewed was Boxing Day. And I consider…[Read more]

The sewing fairy whispered in my ear that people who’ve given birth are allowed to take more than a week off 🙂 The sewing machine won’t grow legs and walk off.

Thanks a lot Nicole! I love your blog!

Aww @Deepa, you are a sweetheart!

Welcome @Rhythm, I get so excited to see new people post here. How wonderful to be able to spend such a lot of time with your daughter.
(And sewing, that is second best)

Hello everyone. Deepa, make that three members from India! I am a newbie sewist who fell in love with Oliver and s. I have a two year old daughter for whom I love to sew.

@cybele727 how did you work through it all? I mean I know that this nearly happened to me even though the doctor didn’t actually say but you can…[Read more]

@justsewit while my C-sections were not quite dramatic, I do know that I would not have survived my first without it, nor would he have.

I remember my complications with my second, hearing the doctor swear as she was ripping my scar tissue from bad healing with the first. Eventually I had a hysterectomy about 2 years after the last due to…[Read more]

It did indeed.

Wish I could use the same die for both size snaps. The snaps are pretty cheap, but I would need a die set for each size. Sigh…so many things I want.
