Aww, that would be cute?

Do you generally do a usb back up Nicole? Or how do you back the photos up generally?

I have all my photos on the ipad but don’t trust cloud. So when I go to “empty out” the camera, I download onto the computer and back up the photo file to the usb.

We had one computer die on us a couple of years ago (thanks to too many storms) and I didn’t do…[Read more]

I made some with a stretch drill which worked very well but I think the quilting cotton would not have enough ‘give’.

I am having to follow on my phone now, my husband tipped a glass of wine in my laptop and it is obviously tee-total.

The tech guru is hopeful he can save my photos.

I think I can help. I do this for my Twins as they have tiny waists and curvy botties.

#1 Unpick the back waistband about two inches either side of the centre back seam.
#2 Unpick the centre back seam as far as needed.
#3 Try on jeans and re-fit, pinning out excess.
#4 Re-sew centre back seam, fit again, adjust, trim, neaten and topstitch.
#5 Cut…[Read more]

Love it @dubhels2003 Front loader I presume?

That is soooo cute!

That sounds very pretty, Reeni.

These are all great ideas, thank you! I think the patches are too big for a strap for a child (they’re about the size of my palm) but I bet if I made a messenger bag for my husband they’d work great for that.

And yes, a vest or messenger bag would be spot on, and could be used both as part of a costume and as part of more regular gear.

Thanks!…[Read more]

Oops, looks like I missed the controversy. Hope folks were able to smooth things over! It is such fun to ‘shop’ on another person’s behalf 🙂 Johanna now I will be picturing cowboy boots in the shower, haha, though I confess I was thinking more of a low bootie in suede, with a kitten heel perhaps?

I tend to sew the tab with a smaller then usual seam allowance, trim well and trim off the corners. If you can’t find tweezers scissor ends wrapped in a bit of tape will work too.

Oh, the locking kind? Those get a great grip.

Why would we recommend a spring dress to somebody who’s specifically said she’s concerned about getting cold? That would be so weird? Apologies if you were asking for Irish spring wedding and I misunderstood! I was replying to mcholley — different circumstances, different person, different needs.

Haha, all right, now we’re talking! I think I still have the selvedge from some Armani cashmere coating around here somewhere. Like Nicole said, the only thing worse at that price than buying too much is buying too little. Cashmere coat with the grain going the wrong way on the collar because I tried to be clever — now that would not be cute.…[Read more]

What on earth are you guys sewing with that a third of a yard is so high-stakes? If somebody has a line to cashmere and is holding out I’m going to be furious.
