Ditto; so generous of you to take the time to ‘write’ all your work.

I’ll look out for your picture of your AP dress, Simpson5. I’d love to do it with both skirts – just for fun.

Babies grow far, far too fast.
Their childhood I know will not last.
Some days might drag on
Sewing goals are not won
Before their babyhood is gone.

Edit: it should be “queen size overlay” not “Queensland overlay”. Stupid autocorrect 🙁

I’m so glad you agree! I will show here the two patterns (one I haven’t got yet) and she can decide.

I am trying to pin sleeves onto the three playdate dresses all whilst having Chloë on my lap “passing” me the pins. I have to give her a job to do or my job doesn’t get done!

@withloveHeidi may I send you my mending? I hate that kind of sewing!

I had a request to use the pink denim for a jacket – I can really see this as a moto and would use the Lisette pattern for…[Read more]

I can imagine that skirt on your twins 🙂 Elsa in particular. I hope it comes out well.

I’ve sewn my third baby onesie from Ottobre, there’s so many babies due this year I’m trying to get ahead on gifts. The onsies are so quick and easy and pair beautifully with the lullaby layette pants and jackets 🙂
