I’ve made two pairs of sailboat pants, size 12-18 momths in preparation for Christmas parcels etc.

Today I am continuing the alterations of B6183 and hopefully will get to actually sew a pair.

I am also tossing up whether to sew a pair of stretch denim pants for Imogen as she is going on a school trip to Perth this Sunday and they are going to…[Read more]

Thank you, Helena! I saw this a few days ago but my computer was wonky and wouldn’t let me reply on these message boards. Anyway I saw that they ship to the U.S. but then I found a pair on eBay so we are all set (they are not quite mustard yellow, more sunny, but it seems that other family members have gone the sunny route so we won’t stand…[Read more]

Wow! Lucky you Nicole! What make is it? It is just so important to have a good comfortable vehicle to drive around in, especially with growing children. We made our one and only trip across the Nullabor when I was 16 in a Nissan pulsar hatchback! Guess who had to sit her six foot self in the back all the way to Murray Bridge? NOT comfy so it is a…[Read more]

I did four hours of ironing last night.
Slightly less enamoured of it at present.

We are heading into very hot weekend, 40d+.
Thank goodness for our swimming pool.

I get very nervous as we live on the edge of a National Park, bush fire risk is always there.

I have some very exciting news. My husband purchased me a van for Christmas.
I have been researching then for two years and I am so excited to have one.
It seats 12 adults…[Read more]

How kind of you Helena.

I finished Trixie’s turn of the sewing rota and I am getting stuck into Tildy’s.

I drafted off the School Bus tee, size 4 with the length of a 7.

What are you sewing now? 🙂

It is a size 10 but will fit a size 12.

A play dress up for grabs

It has been worn by two children but has no stains or tears. Yellow is not Tildy’s colour, it clashes with her hair.

Do you have any of the recent Lisette for Butterick patterns @roundtheworldgirl? If so then maybe grey lisette skirt or trousers with a nursing friendly (if needed) top in probably mustard if it suits your skin tone? Sounds exciting.

I have been busy cutting bottoms for the baby and am only now starting to sew them, starting with a pair of…[Read more]

I”ve more or less completed the Christmas doll sewing (more or less because I still vaguely want to make a few accessories to go with the outfits – I really need to start making sewing plans so that I don’t waste so much time wondering what to start on next). I’m simultaneously trying to plan my kids’ outfits for the large family portrait we are…[Read more]
