What are you sewing… for Christmas?
I have decided to sew a garment for each family member. We have cut way back on purchases this year and upped our donation to our state children’s hospital but the ‘under-the-tree’ is looking a bit bare.
Sooo… Japanese lawn shirt for Jed- vintage Butterick pattern as it is quite full, for his belly (I…[Read more]

She loves that dress and is wearing it for a second season *bonus*
The chest measurement is a great place to start, at least you know it will do up!
Babies come is all shapes and sizes. I made this https://www.flickr.com/photos/motherof5/5018893031/in/album-72157625264790776/ for my now 7 year old and her baby sister (not 2)…[Read more]

Hallo @hannahjosie, this is the bit where you have an internet random giving advice so take it with care 😉

I hope I am not stating the obvious but change your needle just in case that is bent.As my machine was second hand and we live in the country (no repair place) I…[Read more]

Hi @spinny , I have only made the largest size http://fiveandcounting-motherof5.blogspot.com.au/2015/05/lovely-girl.html and I had to add a few inches to make it hit my daughters knees and she is short to average height.

@joanholt I am in AUS so things may be different… but I printed the first page, measured that the test square was 1 inch by 1 inch and the printed off the rest.

It was a good as you said it would be @lisamm.
Marilyn was tiny!
She looked to be so curvaceous in her movies but it must have been her tiny waist over emphasising her bust and hips.
Tildy was enthralled with the movie clips, Hugo devoured all the written memorabilia and Liddy, Zara and Elsie swooned over the clothes.

Very cute Fee.
I am deep in the depths of sequins, tulle and satin… formal dress sewing. It is going surprisingly well and I am enjoying it.
