It could be a once off fluke situation Nicole. My hubby is hoping this one will “take after him” – we will have to attend a wedding when she is ten months old so she can run to the keg if this is the case then.

Trixie sounds like she is gaining in strength which is a good thing but (with fingers crossed), it doesn’t mean she will be running by…[Read more]

@justsewit, in regard to pockets with a ‘V’, I don’t 🙂
But thank you!

Nicole I literally don’t know how you do it! But I am glad the second lot of pockets turned out for you.

Oh yes coffee can be a lifesaver! At the moment the pets are training me not to sleep – four times last night!
I generally sleep well and get to sleep fairly fast but living with a husband who likes noise all the time, it can be draining when you wake in the middle of the night to an infomercial or the big bang theory on repeat! I dont feel rested…[Read more]

I often leave the darts out of the front of my skirts and trousers as I have a round tummy.

Funny, I think of myself as a great sleeper, even though I wake several times a night, every night (and think this is why I remember so many dreams). I think what I’m doing that makes me think I’m a good sleeper is that I stay very relaxed and drowsy. Alcohol knocks me out but it’s awful, unrefreshing sleep. Interesting what kind of sleep feels…[Read more]

Thanks Ladies!
I will have a play after Christmas.
I pretty much live in linen tunics but I don’t like ‘tent-like’ tops. Too dangerous cooking if nothing else.
I liked the way it gave fullness from the bust down.

I think the challenge lies in getting the finished dart to have the same dimensions/fit as the original.
You’d need to cut and spread the pattern before cutting out the fabric in order to add the seam allowance. That way once you’ve sewn the gathered dart it hopefully ends up the original shape.
Take pictures of what you do, I’ll be curious to see it!

Yes!

Yes!

Don’t you wish there were a pause button?

Oh no Sarvi, what a pain!
(And I can vouch for your excellent present giving skills)

My baby is growing too fast, I just lay her on my bed after changing her and she rolled over and pushed herself up on her hands, in a bulky cloth nappy!

My others have all been ‘late’ babies. Late to roll, crawl or walk. I really hope she is not the exception…..

Wow, @scgoble, that must be tough. I must admit I am not good at getting to bed. I rarely go to bed before 11pm and I am often up at 6am but I do grab a 10 minute Nana nap whenever I can.

I envy those that go to bed and fall asleep quickly, it takes me at least an hour.

Its coming togethr nicely Heidi. Tomorrow I will work to complete it – just hoping I have enough buttons.

Still going on the school days jacket … Despite finding two baby jackets already! This is special though – its handmade!
