Just picked up my daughter, Elsa, (15) from work experience at an animal reserve.

She handled everything from pythons to possums and even minded a monkey!

Then perhaps consider a cloth with some stretch.
I made a maternity version in wool spandex and it gave me quite a bit of ease.

(I would post a link but I am worried the whole photo would appear and no one needs to see that huge belly here)

Don’t you love when the fabric gets to decide?

After a busy few days I am still yet to complete the hopscotch dresses. Just the hems to do though.

I pulled out my basket of knit remnants and have been fishing through sorting them out by colour. It is the project for the long weekend, to try and use up as much of it as I can with the playtime…[Read more]

That sounds so pretty Lisa

I was in Spotlight yesterday @Wagyu Burger amd couldn’t even get the pram down the aisle it was that junked up with stuff! I have already made one complaint about it. It doesn’t look good to have that much stock crammed into a tiny space because as you say, it can’t be seen! Besides it looks untidy also.

I didn’t get to see any lawn but will have…[Read more]

Will do! Gracias!

Can’t wait to see you Sarvi! Holler if you need anything when you arrive, and have a great trip!

No tips but I wish I was coming to carry your bags.

May I suggest using wondertape. I have had this stuff in my stash for a while and never thought to use it until last night whilst sewing the knits.

So darling! Where on earth did you find that great fabric?

Another bump — any last minute tips? I’m wondering what I might be able to get in NY that I can’t get in LA. My stash is really bursting and I just don’t think I can justify buying unless it’s a case of missing a unique opportunity.

I plan to visit Purl to refresh my memory of the colors for Brooklyn Tweed as I want to buy yarn to make…[Read more]

Ellen, I agree with Nicole. I usually let things slide, and it’s fine while it’s just me — but that garment has a life after your kid’s use of it. I find I am too embarrassed to give away some outgrown clothes because of those moments that I didn’t go back and unpick. I have the same exact problem with stitch-in-the-ditch and insides…[Read more]
