Popped baby girl down for a sleep and managed to cut out a small supply of nursing pads. I managed to finish two pairs before she woke up! So nice against the skin and I can now get rid of the rediculous bought ones!

Phew! Home less than a week and back sewing! What an accomplishment.

@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.

Nothing dramatic at all about feeling as though your child is a gift. Congrats, glad all is well now.

Will do @Brittney, it is nothing fancy but it does the job. I made a Hopscotch nightie and I am super pleased with it.

Tamara, I am in Sydney and have ordered many times from Shaukat, their delivery is quite fast between 1-2 weeks. Ordered material from Rocywoods in USA, still waiting that was 12 weeks ago.

I was thinking of Book Report dress with plain pink on the bottom as Miss Fussy’s birthday is the end of February.

Congratulations on your beautiful new…[Read more]

Will have to check to see if they do an international shipment mim22. I was looking at the AliceCaroline Etsy store for instpiration as she puts the price in your currency. I think it would be better for us Aussies to buy from the Uk because unfortunately you oay for postage twice if you buy it at home – $43 odd dollars from Uk versus $55 from…[Read more]

Yes I used the 16s for the baby outfits. I found the 14s just a little too small and the 20s are better for bigger things.

Do you want to do a one-piece dress? I made a dress out of the Little Lisette blouse with a plain top (in velvet) and skirt on wool plaid — fabrics chosen for winter wear, as the kids’ school show was Christmas in the Country. (pic in the o&s flickr)…

I’m planning on using sz 16 snaps, but it would depend on your fabric– the prong on regular Kam sz 16 might not be long enough for a thick or fluffy fabric. You might need to get the long-prong ones.

I have a KAM snap press and normally use size 20 snaps. However for the back of clothing and the lullaby set I am seriously considering getting the size 16 snaps as well.
