Thank you Sarvi, the feeling is entirely mutual.

And just saw the photo of your cute girl — and great sewing!

Oh Jane, me too! The most striking ones for me are Jeanne’s daughter and Nicole’s son. From toddler/little boy to young lady/young gent!I have a special spot in my heart for ‘our’ kids. Lucky folks, who get to wear O+S from the beginning.

What a darling!
I love seeing ‘our’ babies grow.
Thank you Jane.

I have decided to jump ahead to the next pattern I want to use and am making headway in tracing the apple picking dress. The ironing board is now covered in “candidates”!

I don’t think I will cut any fabric right now though. I just don’t want to have heaps on the go and find I can’t sew it all in good time. Its just a bit busy around here at the…[Read more]

I have been thinking of you and your poor Mum, Jenny.

Masha, all the best!

How messy is messy Ellen?

When I apply a cuff, I attach it from the inside and the topstitch it from the right side.

I can find a picture if you need.

I got a good start on Elsa’s (15) trench coat, so far it is going together nicely.

We are having a ‘discussion’ about the length. She wanted in long but now would like me to chop a lot off.

There are lots of lovely new faces popping in everyday so I thought I would bump this thread up.

Jax congratulations! Twins wow! I wish you the best of luck for a healthy pregnancy and birth.

My baby Chloe had her needles yesterday and treated me to a blissful two hours of time in the sewing room (while she slept). During this time I pleated the front skirt of a smocked dress I plan to make. I’m using the most gorgeous checked winter twill…[Read more]

I had twins, happy to chat!

On a sewing level, Hopscotch dresses make the BEST baby gowns.

@LightningMcstitch, that would be amazing! I have it in the car to remind me about seltbelts – and it goes off if you have a heavy bag of shopping on the seat.

The most recent stupid thing has been sewing whilst ill! Don’t do it especially if you are sewing with napped fabric. I attached the frill of the carousel dress upside down so the nap is…[Read more]

Now there’s only 1 Oliver+S skirt pattern left for us to sew! This week we sewed up the Badminton Skort and Dress. Yep, another layering duo. We added sleeves to the dress, and we’d love to know what you think of them. And NOW it’s the last week to link up your own Oliver+S sewing creations and enter the Rafflecopter giveaway. Because we all…[Read more]
