    I’m looking forward to reading the details! Wedding as such fun things but the organising can get stressful if too many people have a say.

    Its like anything!

    I’ve been having fun with Chloe learning to roll over just this week and have indulged in some on the mat in the sewing room time. She’s been delighted in her new trick, with her big…[Read more]

    Are you in a rush? You can have my copy.
    I purchased it in case Trixie was a boy. I am happy to swop for that tee pattern.

    This morning I made a start on the 2+2 blouse while Chloe was enjoying herself practising her new trick on the floor – rolling over slowly without surprise but with big smiles.

    I was planning to take a photo of her wearing her (mismatched) rainbow hopscotch dress and hot pink playtime leggings, but I realised I had only stuck the label on. So I…[Read more]

    Thanks Nicole! How funny that that is the liberty print I’m using for his tie in a different color to go with a very similar striped vest!

  • Today I plan to modify my TNT Penny pinafore Tee into a jumper (hoodie)/jacket Pattern.

    This is cute and the boys look like an elegant tied version.

    Anyone have a rec for a boys bow tie tutorial or pattern they would recommend? I don’t want a clip on…one that you tie. And it can be small…my five year old is about 35lbs.

    Something like this….

    Oh she is used to it Fiona! And she actually sleeps well through it. I just got carried away when she wasn’t in deep sleep either that or she didn’t go to sleep – which happens occasionally.

    Yes they are all for her because my big kids have outgrown Oliver and s and right now are preferring bought things (if I can find them to fit) but I hope to…[Read more]

    T, that poor baby is going to need the sound of a sewing machine recorded so she can develop good sleep patterns.Lol. Are all these outfits you’ve detailed in the last zillion posts, ALL for Chloe?

    Finished yet another Popover – size 4 lengthened – in autumn colours, and nearly finished a size 5 Hopscotch Skirt with a frill to lengthen it. (Do…[Read more]

  • Dear Audrey, thank you for your kind comments about my Badminton Skirt; there’s a new pic in Flickr of one of my bunnies wearing her new Hopscotch. I wasn’t participating in your Sew a long; just serendipity.

    Dearest T, thank you!! No, I seriously doubt I’ll be asked to sew – too much distance between Adelaide and Sydney for it to be practical – besides the fact that sheer fabrics are my bete noir. I shall content myself with cross stitching a magnificent wedding sampler (probably with rabbits hidden in it somewhere – don’t ask), and maybe making a…[Read more]

  • I didn’t end up going and postponed all appointments til next week. I just feel really tired at the moment and have been keeping an eye on the health situation. But the plan is to definitely go to Spotlight as the chances of needing something are higher now I am sewing like mad.

    I managed to actually find some patterns they actually stocked the…[Read more]
