    OH I love Prince George’s outfit, his mom has such classic taste in her clothes and children. The ones I adore the most are the smocked outfits though! My littlest one dresses much like her little boy and loves those outfits as well. Kate really helped bring smocking to younger generation. I am for one excited to see how she dresses the new baby girl.

    Well, my quest for the perfect fit is improving almost daily, as I make more and more mistakes…no, seriously I am finally getting g to grips wit it, I think. I’ve made some Oliver+s patterns too of course, a new bubble dress for my granddaughter Rose and teaching my daughter to sew the baby layette pattern for the new baby, Chloe. But also lots…[Read more]

    Wouldn’t it be great if Kate turned out to be a secret sewist and she started ordering dozens of Oliver+s patterns and posting them in our Flickr group?

    Liesl could introduce a new boys blazer, called of course, The George, and a new unisex baby pattern called The Charlie… Or alternatively, a girls’ pattern could be called, Buckingham Palace…[Read more]

  • Sarvi, a little bird tells me that “washed like a rag” means it washed well; it’s sturdy. And “goffer” means to fluff out. ๐Ÿ™‚

    My kid has got arms like an ape
    Thereโ€™s no way sheโ€™ll fit in this cape
    Iโ€™ve lengthened and lengthened
    Reinforced seams and strengthened
    But it’s now whipped my arms into shape!

    Sewing friends sure are the best

    What beautiful photos! Prince George is just a stunning little fellow isn’t he? And little Princess Charlotte is just so delightful!
    I am certain we will see some very classic styles coming to the forefront as she grows.

  • Sarvi, I use the large messenger bag as is ๐Ÿ™‚ I can fit an A4 notebook, wallet, phone, drink bottle and lunch. And there’s often a little space left for some shopping, fabric of course ๐Ÿ™‚
    This is the 3rd one I’ve made myself, it’s the bag I use every day. I must get photos of the original one I made that shows the wear marks ๐Ÿ™‚ I’ve made 3…[Read more]

    Kensington Palace released pictures today. http://gawker.com/new-royal-baby-meets-old-royal-baby-in-british-baby-pri-1709556864

    I’m not in love with Charlotte’s outfit, mainly because I think all the white is boring. She certainly does look comfortable and very sweet. I do like the piping on George’s shirt. I also like that, despite not yet being…[Read more]
