Great ideas for making this a bit easier for a wiggly little one!

@mcholley1 we’ll be sewing twins this week, I just cut out a skirt and top in chambray (linen, does that still count as chambray? it’s a red/white crossweave) and Liberty.

Say, any ideas what to sew for a golfing birthday party? I was thinking Lunchbox tee and culottes.

I think what’s in that tutorial is effectively a lining, though I get why she’s calling it underlining, as the seams are still exposed. If you did that with flannel, it would be, as you suggest, ‘grabby’. Wonderfully cozy, certainly!

Sigh, it’s that time again … time to figure out what to do with outgrown clothes. Every time there’s a growth spurt I have to figure this out again as though it’s a brand new problem.

Thank you, great to know!

I’ll second Brittney. A lot of people swear by a nice pashmina wrap but I’d need a Pendleton blanket at least. I sort of thought the upside to weight gain would be not always being the first to get chilled but no such luck. A cardigan’s a better bet. I think fabric choice for the bistro will be your friend. And hey, here’s your excuse to get some…[Read more]

I had a sewing win the other night. I managed to make a lullaby bodysuit and pants in one go.

Jay I have no words of wisdom to add on the whole driving on the other side of the road thing as I have never done it! But I should think it will be a really great experience to be equipped with the knowledge of knowing how!

Welcome, Renee! I believe my grandma made most of her family’s clothes on one of those, and the motion was very hypnotic.

Don’t worry, you’ll get the hang of driving soon. I’m told that it’s the right turns that are trickiest, my friends who made the switch kept hitting the curb at first.

I’ve been having a lot of fun trying to sew as much as I can from my stash while I save up a bit for a trip to a friend’s wedding. Lodging in NY is just so expensive! And a chef…[Read more]

I’ve finished up the first of four gifts, and the next two should be pretty quick sews. I’m doing a lot of swatching for the fourth since I want to incorporate a few different small details I’ve been really liking. It’s funny how far from the original a given idea can evolve over time (and Pinterest). Right now I’m working on a certain style of…[Read more]

I have an old treadle in my sitting room, I keep a block of wood under the foot pedal to stop the babies pinching their fingers. 🙂
