Absolutely @reeni !
I’m so bored of sewing navy pants and my seven and a half year old is fast outgrowing his current ones.
I’d love to give them a home and a new schoolyard!
Name your exchange….

I love this skirt too! Especially on little girls with their cute toddler swagger😀 It’s an absolute keeper of a pattern for sure.

Bahahaha😂

Bahahaha😂

does anyone have use for a few pairs of navy pants, sz 8 Sketchbook lengthened into pants with buttonhole elastic and zip fly? One is washable wool with houndstooth pocket linings and the other is cotton twill.
These were (and could still be) uniform pants, no embellishment but reinforced knees.

A friend text this image to me after word of the “incident” got around. I’m tempted to do a bit of engraving 😉

Oh @thejennigirl😂 That sounds all too familiar. I have a confession to make! I ran off with my daughter’s sewing scissors because they were sharper than mine – and she hasn’t noticed yet😉😱

There is one little problem though with “Pheobe” – she has measurements that would accomodate a size that Chloë would wear but she is long. She is actually the size for a 3 year old so I am thinking of sneaking a little one into the mix just so I can play dress up with a life sized doll that doesn’t wriggle and get dirty before the photos are…[Read more]

Yes, yes yes @motherof5!! That would be aaaaahmazing!

@housecall, if I may be so bold, here is a tute http://fiveandcounting-motherof5.blogspot.com.au/2014/03/the-garden-party-tutorial-part-one.html

Unless your ribbon is very firm I would be inclined to sew it on top rather then replace the yoke and waistband.
