Oh have to run around and find someone who will print karge sheets nearby!!

Would love to be included.

I’m putting my hand up for future testing from emailed 36″ files, now that I know my local print shop has a roll!

You are lucky! It is a beautiful range but then I don’t think I have ever not liked what Liberty release. Its just so jolly expensive! So I would hve to use it soaringly and carefully. This would be a wonderful print to have.

Ok, I’ll help you justify using it for yourself…would be a shame to use that fabric on something that will be outgrown. You’ll get longer wear out of it 😉

@georgeandizzy that’s adorable! I love it – would also be cute using a lengthened LTTS tutu for the skirt part.

@onehappymamma, another suggestion (for a pattern I don’t own, haha) would be a jumprope dress with a circle skirt modification – I feel like I’ve seen several floating around Flickr, and it would be adorable in denim & cotton lace, or…[Read more]

Hi @admin — if you ever run completely out of other things to do (and not sure this bit is even your job) — it looks like the logo needed to be pushed just a speck to the left. Screencap attached. See how the lower right loop of the ‘s’ is shaved a bit?

Or has it always been that way? Like the little scissors have trimmed its seam allowance?

@kgiff, new teacher. I may as well earn a few Brownie points 🙂

@with love Heidi, flexibility but responsibility. Roots and wings, as Jed and I like to say. 🙂

@EllenMCM, it has been so very hot here it seems a bit bonkers to be sewing trousers.

I made a tiny Tea Party for Beatrix today, purely as sewing therapy after the dress for my cousin. It was palate cleanser indeed.

Next up, some nighties for Trixie…[Read more]

Reeni very clever of you. I used to teach a group of boys tap when I was still dancing. It worked the same way but my own lessons were the exchange. Love tap dancing!

This year creative projects include doing up the kids’ bedrooms – painting decorating in their style/preference.
Curtains for every window in the house!
Possibly a reno project but it depends on funds, there is a door in the sewing room that needs to be removed so that I can shift the wardrobe up a bit and put the doors on. We decorated the sewing…[Read more]

@Reeni, very smart!

What a huge effort, you are doing them a massive favour. How kind of you.

Much more relaxing then my threading method….which involves tweezers, me swearing a lot and the children advising each other to stay away from mum.

I had an annoying afternoon and thought I’d relax for a few minutes and watch a video on using my serger. This might have been … too relaxing.

Create, that is beautiful. I think I shall focus on sewing being more about creating, then working.

What a great idea, I can’t wait!

@vothgirl, Hugo has printed me up a ‘rota’ that everyone fills in. The Twins change their minds a lot before I get to them but that is have the fun. Once it is cut, that is it.

I finally finished my cousins dress. It is beautiful and if I have fitted the muslin correctly, should fit like a glove.
It was a lot of work though. Lots of pieces,…[Read more]
