@cybele727 it is certainly not a decision we made lightly but when you witness a leaving class of just one student at your school you do tend to sit up and think do you want this for your child? Because of the many many issues we have faced at this school, we also had to face the facts that our kids would not have the opprotunities that they could…[Read more]

@cybele727 its often the most painful when the relationship with school fractures or is damaged in someway, especially when you are a parent that is “on the front” so to speak. I did that too until this year. I stepped back mainly because of the baby but also because I’d had enough of the complaints from school about my kids and being hauled into…[Read more]

Thanks @motherof5 and @cybele727 for taking the time to respond!! We will be sewing a size 4T, with added length to the hem, so maybe we’ll be okay :).

@cybele727, @lightningmcstitch? Any suggestions as to type of challenge and start/ finish date? It’s pretty busy here at the moment but I should be able to squeeze in some time for another challenge between now and February (in amongst harvest, Christmas, first birthday and school prep). But then I would imagine you guys in the northern hemisphere…[Read more]

So Reeni, have you popped a photo up yet? Can’t wait to see. I have a pair of puppet show shorts that didn’t quite make the deadline but they will be in the pile someday (soon I hope).

@cybele727 (just pretend this is a dancing emoticon)😃 That means I can get all the yellow fabric out of my stash. I don’t know why I have so much but its there and…[Read more]

@cybele727 – I love the ugly fabric challenge idea!

Ok I have gone back and tagged the ones already uploaded and uploaded the ones I didn’t do before. All have the tag you’ve requested @lightningmcstitch and @cybele727 so hoping you find them. They are all in Flickr as my instagram account is private so may not be able to see them there (even though some of them are in there).

I have had a lot of…[Read more]

😂@cybele727.

We have a printer paper thief in our house and I stole it back to print out the men’s metro tshirt! Unfortunately I was found out and it was nabbed again! But thankfully the pattern is printed so I can (at last) put it together. But only when I have my hands free from picking up the baby who (sob) wants to stand up😕. It’s just going…[Read more]

Thanks @cybele727 I went on a mad monochrome cutting spree. Butterick skirt and top for me, play date dress, jump rope dress and swingset skirt and top for my daughter.
So far the Playdate is sewn…

Thank you everyone for your feedback. I’m sold! There are online auctions I’m watching for some really good quality second hand pairs that close this Thursday, so hopefully I will be able to get those. Otherwise I will be ordering some brand new ones that will come direct to me all the way from the States. I will have to wait three weeks for them…[Read more]

Maybe I need to encourage shoes of prey to do a children’s line also. They say they are going to branch in to the mens shoes but I think it would be more fun designing shoes for kids with interestingly fitting feet.

Oh yes my feet went wider after the children also – with each of them! Glad I never had more than three or there’d be me going…[Read more]

All I know is that I grew out of women’s sizes in “normal” shoe shops when I was 12! It was not fun and I had an awful time finding…[Read more]

Don’t I know that dilemma well @cybele727. We don’t even have kids shoes in a proper shoe shop near us! We have to go to Target 😱 and even then I don’t, simply because they don’t fit and I hate having to try on every pair of shoes in the department to try and find something that does! That’s why I’d be interested to know if they cater for wider…[Read more]

@cybele727 she is the best thing since sliced bread and more! She’s on my hip pretty much all the time so we get to do lots of things one handed together. Except helping with drafting sheep for shearing – she’s in the carrier then and really I need to employ it alot more than I do. But with her crawling and big kids having no concept of putting…[Read more]

Oh @dubhels2003 that made me snort laugh!
But I’ve actually wondered about that; what does one do when the iron on interfacing is scrunched?
@cybele727 I have to admit I was surprised to see this thread refreshed with someone else’s name on it! 🙂 but then, there you were after all. I was cutting a swing set top last night from tiny scraps and was…[Read more]

Its cute fabric. Do you have ideas as to how you are going to use it?

I am in the process of making a white class picnic blouse that believe it or not was cut and started before the challenge was mentioned. I am tossing up what to team it with.

May I ask if we can (at some stage) do the same challenge but for the big people too? We could use the…[Read more]
