I had to google what RealTree fabric is. Are you sewing it for a girl or boy, and is it meant to be worn soon? I was thinking a layette jacket out of sherpa or berber fleece (if meant to be worn while it’s still winter) with bias trim in leftover RealTree or hunting orange fabric would look nice (if for a girl, you could trim it in a rose pink or…[Read more]

I am working on Lullably Layette pieces. I am doing a long sleeve, snap crotch top in a RealTree fabric. Not my choice of fabric, but my niece loves the stuff. I have brown fine wale corduroy for the pants. I want to do a jacket also but I am not sure what fabric to use.

Justine-We finally convinced BK to give up her special blanket (Yellow) as it was about to start falling apart. I’ve washed it and put it away in her keepsake box. I think I’m more sad than she is…she was my only kid with a special lovey.

I’m partway through a clever Charlotte orchid blouse for my middle girl. And I had a special request to…[Read more]

@Rhythm, thank you!

@Nicole, sure just steam the desiccated coconut before adding.

In the mail, but they are not fancy ones. #9 sharps. 🙂

I agree, I made a large per my measurements and wore it a lot, pregnant, 😉

I made this tonight http://www.pinterest.com/pin/73676143879970347/, I doubled the recipe but used much much less oil and substituted tinned tomatoes for fresh and 1/3 cup curry powder for green chillies.

It was so yummy, everyone had seconds, even Tildy.

@Rhythm, could I use desiccated coconut?

@Justsewit, it will come in time! My #2 ended being higher risk than #1 (having contracted H1N1 during the pregnancy, and having taken a belly flop in a parking lot, and having developed a life threatening sinus infection, and having developed serious anemia) and Gigi (@Nicole- Thank you! That’s short for Gabriella Genevieve) was my end result.…[Read more]

I am going to suggest you make a muslin. It goes together beautifully, but has tons of ease. You may not need the size it says you need. You may be able to go down one or two depending. Or you may need the size for the front of one, but a narrower cut/ size down in the back. The back has extra and for some of us, ahem, there can be a bustle…[Read more]

Today’s sewing has consisted of:

1 hour cobbling Lucy’s Sheepie (her security blanket) back together – she has many, many sheepies, but only one Sheepie 😉 – it is really disintegrating at a rapid rate…

1 hour making alterations to a RTW tee that Harry bought for himself the other day. Rosie (unfortunately) has introduced both the boys to her…[Read more]

Rice and coconut crêpes are a staple breakfast at my place. This is a super easy recipe that takes ten minutes to whip up. I think all the ingredients would be available at an Indian store.

In a blender process 1 cup rice flour, 3 heaped tablespoon grated coconut (fresh or frozen), 1 cup Luke warm water. Blend till really smooth. Add another 1/2…[Read more]
