    Heidi do you enlarge the larger size, or is it big enough as-is?

    I’m a deer in headlights at the moment, frozen in between numerous baby projects and not knowing what to make for which baby.

  • Is ‘washed like rags’ good or bad? And what’s ‘goffer’? AUS to USA translation, please?

  • Big hugs, Marsha!
    Like Shelley, if only I were closer and could help with some of the practical things! Hang in there, give the kids a big hug from me. I’ll be praying for you and your family.

    Oh you poor darling! What a horrendously stressful and worrying time for you. You are top of the prayer list for me now Masha. Please make sure you rest and take care of you! I know that would probably be the last thing on your mind right now. Do you have family rallying around you in support?

    I pray your husband’s condition improves.

  • Oh Masha.
    I wish a speedy recovery for him and as much help can be mustered for you. If only I lived nearby….

    Heck, I have no idea how you are coping with this and with a new baby too. My thoughts are with you, and I wish there was some practical help I could offer.

    Oh my! I can only imagine all that you must be feeling right now! There are no good words for something so scary as you all must be navigating. But, know your family is in my thoughts now. I am rooting for you all.

    I feel strange posting about this but as I feel I have gotten to know many of you over the last years, here goes. My husband suffered a stroke yesterday morning. He is in the intensive care unit at the hospital and in critical condition. His left side is completely paralyzed. He is only 37 years old and we have no idea what happened. Our lives…[Read more]

    Ok, I have to bite the bullet and sew big kid pants! There is NOTHING in the shop that remotely looks anywhere NEAR acceptable! Truly disappointing but, hey, I knew it would come around eventually.

    So off to Spotlight I trotted and bought denim. Now I have to find a pattern to fit Noah as I have the Jalie to fit Imogen. I will compare Thread…[Read more]

  • First tip from me, when I sew a muslin, I put my seams on the out side, easier to alter.

    #1 It appears you need to take fabric from the back piece, not the front. Unpick and move the back until you get the right fit, then pin and re-mark and trim to your new seams.

    #3 I wonder…[Read more]
