Took a break from sewing last night to organize my patterns. I have a few binders and 2 boxes that I store patterns in. And then I decided to count them. Wow, I way underestimated how many I have. 215 is the number. 55 were free (gifts, internet, pattern testing) and 52 have not been sewn. Of the not sewn, 15 are $1.00 patterns from Joann’s.…[Read more]

Oh rats, Audrey!! I’ve made that pattern only once, and I had to sort out the straps several times to avoid mixing them up. So lots of sympathy.

Sorry about the gastro, T, and S, I hope your chap knows how lucky HE is. His birthday present is truly cool! And so different. I finished two size 8 Roller Skates, today, and they both look great – looking fwd to posting on Flickr tomorrow. Both for the same child, and rather late in the season but they are her favourite style to wear, and over…[Read more]

When I was making the Swing Sew Tunic I got the straps twisted! Talented, I know!!!

Alright! Another Oliver+S skirt sewn! This time it was the Swing Set skirt and tunic. And I used my favorite fabric line ever. Is it wrong for me to want one in my size? Also, I think my drawstring ended up too short…what do you think? Thanks to everyone who is sewing up Oliver+S patterns and linking them up; it’s getting to be quite a…[Read more]

Ugh @justsewit hope you’re better soon.

I’ve got one more pair of side opening parachute pants to make for school uniform. I had them cut out Wednesday but haven’t got to them. This will be the 4th pair!
I also want to finish her Parachute Polo/Tea party birthday dress for tomorrow. I’m really looking forward to seeing this one finished 🙂

Helena, I would love to put my hand up for the “textile arts” bits and bobs. I belong to a quilt group that makes quilts and laundry bags for “Aussie Heros” men and women in the armed forces. Each one is made to match their specific favourite things (e.g. camels, football teams etc) and also another group that makes quilts for kids going thru…[Read more]
