    I haven’t been on the forums much lately so I’m not sure if this is new or if that’s how it always worked.

    I finished Sofia’s chocolate biscuit shirt in time for Picture Day and she said all her friends wanted to eat her up when she wore it.

    I have ordered more pink twill to make a new pair of Field Trip pants for her. She loved the old pair so much (as did I) I decided to track down some of that pink twill. It won’t be here for a few more days so I…[Read more]

    No, but seriously – the speed of a click is not something you can control – you either click or you don’t.

    My guess is Flickr is having server issues and the photos where you can’t comment are on affected servers whereas pictures that work are on healthy servers. Give it a day or two and try again.

    Some great ideas here!

    A ‘fun’ dessert I make for parties is ‘frogs in mud puddles’

    Small cups half filled with chocolate custard with plump greens grape ‘frogs’ hiding in it.

    Serve with a wee spoon.

  • Yay! I’m glad you went for it, doesn’t it feel great to try something big?

  • Sarvi replied to the topic Toddler Party Food in the forum Group logo of Cooking and BakingCooking and Baking 10 years ago

    Tons of great ideas above. I think the parents will appreciate having some healthy options and the kids will probably not especially notice anything but the cake. How much work do you want to put into it?

    I make this semi often and it is a big hit, but it’s a fair amount of work. You can make it go much quicker by using premade puff pastry and…[Read more]

    I saw them on instagram @katybellabug, so sweet!

    I finished Jed’s jeans, super heavy denim but they should wear well. I used some scraps from his Liberty shirt to make the pocket bags and line the back yoke.

    Next up, a muslin of the Lisette Attache peplum top for Elsa’s 16th birthday sew.

    Just checking in, it’s been a while! Blame the holidays.

    You have all been so busy! I have been sewing but it has been a run of school uniform, which I am always enthusiastic to start but by the time I am doing my last buttonholes, I am flagging!
    I’ve still got to photograph everything, but I have done Lunchbox Culottes, Music Class Blouse,…[Read more]

    I haven’t sewn much of anything all summer so I decided to ease into it with a simple project of a Field Trip tee for Picture Day on Monday. I used a soft knit fabric with chocolate biscuits on it and she didn’t want to take it off after the first try-on. I had to convince her that knits need hemming too.

    I also need to trace the size 10 Field…[Read more]

  • That grey cord is yummy!
    Liesl recommended reversing the nap of the cord for a really lush look, I always do that now and it does look wonderful.

    I crazy love that lining fabric. If you are worried you will be too warm (which I doubt, in Canada brrr) you could line the sleeves with the silk stuff and use a cotton or lawn for the body or just the back?

    How do you control the speed of the click?

  • I love the Kaufman London Calling line, it’s a pleasure to sew. I vote for the Butterfly set as I recall the Music Class being not the world’s quickest sew. You know your own sewing though, if you’re familiar with it and feel confident, I’m sure you’ll get loads of use from the blouse, in particular, well after the recital. I’d go for a darker…[Read more]
