  • If you don’t want to go the vintage route (sizing issues, etc.) I second the comment about the School Photo Dress. People often call that the Jackie O. dress. A few easy modifications will get you exactly what you want.

    Definitely vintage sewing patterns on eBay
    I may speak from experience …..

    Meleliza, if you want them separated also I will have the train loving son for a while – it may turn my house upside down but will keep my own boy entertained with some juvenile male company.

    Nicole could have one and I the other and then we could swap – and have two farm stays far away in Australia!

    Running away sounds like a great plan though!…[Read more]

    It sounds as if they need a farm stay. 🙂

    The puppet show dress with madeira app.ique hem is pretty much done. I just have to do the buttons andshe can wear it. I have a half made corduory puppet show on the table at the moment which I really wanted to finish for our city trip but won’t now. It can wait to be finished when we return.

    Finished the jeans and they fit really well, I am so pleased.
    I ended up taking 20cms from the leg and added a few cm’s to the waist but they look really good and he likes them.
    Win!

    Next up a KwikSew polo top and some knit shorts for Jed.

    And then some exciting sewing, a hot pink linen Garden Party dress for a special OS, O+S sweet girl.

    Yes @Todd Gibson, my phone is on a different provider.

    Awesome!

    @lilypadmontana, my pleasure. Sarvi & Colette sent me some divine hailspot muslin and I made one for Trixie. She is still wearing the blouse and bottoms but grew out of the bodysuit very quickly.
    It was fine over a disposable for a bit longer. I actually gave it away in a sewing store. The owner was raving about Beatrix’s outfit and she promptly…[Read more]

    Great ideas Kerrilyn, lots of food, sleep and exercise works for my only boy. He had broken two (yes two) very expensive European irons throwing his footy in the house.

    I am very glad to live on a farm, he was encouraged to start hiking and camping from a very young age 🙂

    Masha did a few of these. I think she bound the arm so the binding was inclosed (all on the inside).

    Oh, good grief Nicole! Look at how gorgeous the two of you looked on that day! Timeless beauties–both of you. I wouldn’t have been able to tell if that photo could have been taken 150 years ago or just last year.

    Congratulations!
