I’ll be watching this thread with interest. I have only used rayon once, for the skirt of a dress with a cotton bodice. I had to wash it as I’d dyed it with indigo, and thereafter I machine washed it along with other cottons. I have probably machine dried it by accident once or twice (kids’ clothes always sneak in there) but usually line dry. It…[Read more]

Very well done. I am just catching up on this thread – it was so nice of you to go to all that trouble to make this little cutie happy on her important day!

@dubhels2003 night feeder here also, so definitely not alone (and again don’t feel lonely). So glad you popped in to say hi and fill us in on what has been happening. Once things settle down further, I am sure sewing will return – everything needs some adjustment time I guess.

@dubhels2003 , I am still night feeding too, don’t feel lonely!

The party was awesome, huge and a lot of fun.

Well done, you should feel very proud.

Wow! It looks perfect! So glad the experience was a lot less painful than first thought😀

Hi Mardee

Such a lot of wonderful sewing ideas and what a huge project in the quilt! I have quilted table quilts and a bedquilt (which was really a large lap quilt) each for my two older children. It all depends on the design of quilting you go for. I searched through Leah Day’s site (freemotion quilting project) for ideas and tutorials of the…[Read more]

I am so glad it is all coming together nicely. I hope she loves it feels very pretty in it. Looking firward to seeing the photos.

When I searched the pool for monochrome, they only come up if it’s in the tag box. Easy to do from a pc but phone uploads perhaps not so?
More than half of the images were found by trawling the the Flickr pool as they didn’t appear in search results.
Rachel and i were talking about doing it as a link party and that’s heaps easier. That way YOU do…[Read more]

I take it the maiden voyage was a huge success then😜 I am thrilled you have had the chance to sew, let alone finish the project. Hip hip hooray! Have you had the chance to put it on flickr yet? Need to go looksee.

I have been sewing the two bubble dresses I had planned for this week but hit a slight snag. The front outer skirt was a tad longer…[Read more]

Finally finished a long-planned outfit for the baby – a long-sleeved Lullaby Layette shirt and set of Playtime leggings using Lillestoff jersey I splurged on while I was pregnant. Most exciting – it was the maiden voyage of my new coverstitch machine! I have been stretching the hems incessantly just to watch them streeeeeetch without popping seams.
