    Wow. Everyone is so busy. I’m at a stand stil of sorts having broken my machine. I took it in yesterday and they said 2 weeks. I cut 4 hopscotch dresses last night from knits I got at Mood when I was there in August. So I will be ready.

    But it’s ok because I have a trial on Friday. I’m not going to lie. I am anxious and nervous. But no lawyer…[Read more]

    I saw them on instagram @katybellabug, so sweet!

    I finished Jed’s jeans, super heavy denim but they should wear well. I used some scraps from his Liberty shirt to make the pocket bags and line the back yoke.

    Next up, a muslin of the Lisette Attache peplum top for Elsa’s 16th birthday sew.

    The birthday party dress is complete. Such a cute little dress and what a fabulous pattern! I can see many more of these being made.

    Photos are on their way!

    Now on to the task of measuring myself up for a shirt! But first a cuppa with hubby as it’s smoko time.

    Wow I think you’ve been busier than all of us combined @katybellabug. It is so lovely to hear from you again @lattemama.

    The buttonholes are stitched onto the family reunion and puppet show dresses but they are still waiting for buttons. I have commenced work on my very first birthday dress which is rather exciting. I am currently up to…[Read more]

    Just checking in, it’s been a while! Blame the holidays.

    You have all been so busy! I have been sewing but it has been a run of school uniform, which I am always enthusiastic to start but by the time I am doing my last buttonholes, I am flagging!
    I’ve still got to photograph everything, but I have done Lunchbox Culottes, Music Class Blouse,…[Read more]

    I haven’t sewn much of anything all summer so I decided to ease into it with a simple project of a Field Trip tee for Picture Day on Monday. I used a soft knit fabric with chocolate biscuits on it and she didn’t want to take it off after the first try-on. I had to convince her that knits need hemming too.

    I also need to trace the size 10 Field…[Read more]

  • Thanks for the encouragement, I took the plunge and ordered! I should have fabric by next week, exciting!

    Nicole, I have seen some of the projects you have made with the reversed nap, it does look beautiful! Thanks for reminding me!

    I will update with my progress on the jacket. I haven’t been too productive with my sewing lately what with my…[Read more]

  • Lisa, I think you latest fabric choices are perfect! It looks like a wonderful pattern. I’m interested to find out how you go with it as I have a feeling my own teen will be wanting one when our winter rolls around again.
