They are so cute.

What about using the sketchbook pattern for the top and merge it with the bottom of the lullaby bodysuit?
Of course this would only work if you want the sizes larger than 6m.
Another option would be to to add the collar and placket from the Jumprope dress. This would again only work for the sizes larger than 6m.
Now it sounds so cute, I might…[Read more]

I drafted a collar and put in on the shirt. I like the way it looks but it isn’t perfect so I will try again. Unfortunately I accidentally threw the pattern I drew away. I was hoping to find one here.

Thank you! They look so short.

I haven’t made this pattern, but I have made a few fleece things over the years and just made my stepson some fleece pants. I interfaced the pocket area (zipper pockets), using an interfacing intended for knits, with some stretch. I use a wet press cloth and haven’t had a problem with the fleece.
Long ago I made a fleece jacket and the…[Read more]

That would be amazing! And she lives quite close to us 🙂
Thank you!

@Heidi, one of my sisters has a cottage at Egg&Bacon Bay, I will try and fill her boot next time she is over.

It is perfect, my 4 month old still fits in them.

I did pretty poorly on my resolutions — my organization is worse, if anything, and I have one piece for my advent calendar, made in January, I think. I did finally make successful forays into sewing for myself, however, which felt really huge. I didn’t resolve to cut into more of my ‘good stuff’ but I did do it and was really happy. I think this…[Read more]

This year I am going to continue to focus on the quality of what I make. I started doing that this year and my sewing is improving no end.

I am going to find my teenage me and embrace having a go at sewing for me. I didn’t care about how complicated the pattern was I would try it and wear it, pretty much regardless of what the end product was…[Read more]

Happy New Year!
I had a lovely night with friends. We went into the city to watch the 9pm fireworks. I love living in a small city, the traffic was still very manageable immediately after the fireworks finished. 🙂
Nicole, if you really are getting rid of fabric I’ll put my hand up for some 🙂 Let me know and I can pay postage.

My reflections on how I achieved the goals I set for myself at the beginning of the year. Overall I’m very pleased 🙂

1. Sew from my stash and make do!
I sewed up 255.6m of fabric this year! 63.65m of knit fabric, 163.1m of woven and 26.7m of fleece.
Since overall I bought 121.05m of fabric this means I used at least 134.55m of fabric from my…[Read more]

I noticed I need more…[Read more]

Happy New Year to all!

I hope everyone is safe and well.

My sewing goals for the New Year are to sew more thoughtfully (do we really need it)? and focus on finishing and fabric choices.

I also plan to downsize my stash. I am frequently given bags of fabric and patterns from ladies that no longer sew, which is lovely, but I think I need to cull…[Read more]

I was going to suggest the Jumprope placket instructions, but Nicole beat me to it 🙂
