Since my finger has healed up nicely I have decided to brave the machine and make my Mum a set of napkins for her birthday.

If all goes well I will be cutting out a pair of shorts for Isabel today.

The Jump Rope and School Photo are still only pinned and I have to work out something for the collar of the School Photo one. Nicole suggested linen ..I like that but I don’t have any.

Could it be that I have to visit the fabric store? Oy vey. Woe be me 😉

[needlewoman]

Oh no, LM; how terrible for you! (LOL)

[lattemama]

Heh – I’ll try and bear it as best I can *dramatic hand gesture*

I have FINALLY finished two long sleeved sketchbook shirts. The instructions were very well done but I’m afraid my execution left a little to be desired with the cuffs. I’ll for certain be making some more short sleeved shirts but until I work up my courage again I just might leave the cuffed shirts to the professionals 🙂

[Nicole]

What bits weren’t you happy with homefire,may I help?

Sorry Lotta xx

Still plugging away at Liddys birthday dress.

I still have the wretched pencil case to finish – had to buy more zips! Reading folder is now the correct size and just needs a little hand sewing.

Looking forward to tomorrow – going to craft group for the first time in ages! It means K can work on the unfinished quilts!

I made a green mini gingham tea party playsuit, with self flat piping, I just need to add the snaps. Today I finally started to make my husband some PJ pants, that I got the pattern for a month ago. And it’s not Oliver and S, so not as good instructions. 🙁

Finished some doll’s clothes for Isabel today. Not the fabric combos I would have picked but it’s her doll and she likes them.

I was going to make napkins for Mum but she asked me to make her a new hot wheat bag for her neck and shoulders which works out perfectly since it’s an easy sew. Getting started on that as soon as I have washed the fabric.

Nicole: don’t be sorry. You know me – I love my fabric store.

After much planning and over thinking, I finally cut into the fairy tale first communion dress. It’s gotten a little nerve wracking, I admit. Fingers crossed!

[Tamara]

Good luck Meleliza! Hoping it works out beautifully for you!

After cleaning up the pig sty I have made in the sewing nook, I am planning to cut out shorts for miss 10 and get sewing on some much needed clothes.

I didn’t get to craft group today – the pink bottom line thread went walkabout so I chose to come home and clean up instead. Next week I will be there will bells on – a great chance to get the quilting done without having to rearrange the sewing space at home.

Finished Lidia’s dress and Elsa’s top.

Just working on her skirt loosely based on the 2+2 skirt.

[Lightning McStitch]

Any pics yet? I’ll have to have a nosy…

I’ve just cracked a pattern in my stash and made my first Birthday Party dress. What a lovely pattern (of course). I can see myself making plenty more of these.

[Sarvi]

Lidia’s dress is unbelievably beautiful! I was trying to picture what you’d make with the shot cotton you’d requested, but wow, I truly had no idea. Utterly inspiring.

Good luck to everyone taking on tough new projects, I’m going to be de-pgstying today too.

[Nicole]

Thank you Sarvi,you are so kind-flattery will get you anything including hand-me-downs!

I finished the dolly dress and I am kicking myself that I did not make a pattern as I went,it fits Amanda so well.

What’s the bet it was a one-hit-wonder?

Tilly is next,tossing up between a CC Chickadee blouse or a Puppet Show in red shot cotton,for Kindy.

She is *supposed* to wear a polo top but why be dull?

I hope to finish Elsie’s skirt tonight.

[Tamara]

The pigsty is not so bad now but still needs work. I am hoping to get to the machine tomorrow and sew something! Anything! I am having serious sewing withdrawal!

I’m thinking pretty seashore dresses for our hot temps! Or another type of sundress. That is *if* she will let me measure her yet again!
