    My son passed his driving test, so excited for him!

    Thanks @Justsewit, I am sure all will be fine.

  • 🙂 That would be a trial run, not a trail run, dear oh dear…

    If it was any other fabric, I would say, ‘Go for it’. I know your time is super precious, but so is Liberty. 😉

    Welcome back Fee, I hope you have fun sewing up all those little things.

    I must admit, I love a birth story, you would have think I had had enough but they always thrill me. If anyone else is inspired to write theirs, feel free. (Or post links)

    Thank you for your best wishes, just a straight forward Gall Bladder removal, I fit the criteria of…[Read more]

  • Thinking of the shape, I would extend from the bottom, following the A-line but I would definitely make a trial run before cutting the Liberty.
    You could use it as a nightie.

    I would add a fair bit of length, a few inches not just a few cm’s.

    No sewing, it was a washing and ironing day, but I did prep some cornflower blue cotton poplin for Music Class school blouses (short sleeves and pin tucks) for Lid’s and Tildy.

    I *was* going to cut navy Badminton skorts as bottoms but I am seriously considering Lunch Box culottes with all the lovely versions popping up in the Flickr pool…..

    I’m tackling a fake leather moto jacket for my teenage daughter. This is the most complicated pattern I’ve ever sewn…I hope it turns out nice!

    • Oh, good luck with that!

    • Thanks, Todd! It was a huge challenge but I did get it finished…finally. If I’d known that there was an upcoming Lisette moto jacket pattern coming I would have waited for that!! Ah well, I suppose I can always make one for me.;)

    Yay @vothgirl.
    @Dawn R, that will look so cute.

    Don’t you love it when a experiment works?
    I made Trixie a Hopscotch top and skirt today but I adapted the skirt to have the Tea Party bloomers built in.
    And it worked!

    It was not with out a few head scratching moments though. As I have said in the past, I take my hat off to pattern designers,…[Read more]

    Yes, do, maybe even the 2T?
    I make this for my girls as a school uniform and is a dress that can be worn a little big with a deeper hem.

    Justine-We finally convinced BK to give up her special blanket (Yellow) as it was about to start falling apart. I’ve washed it and put it away in her keepsake box. I think I’m more sad than she is…she was my only kid with a special lovey.

    I’m partway through a clever Charlotte orchid blouse for my middle girl. And I had a special request to…[Read more]

  • @Rhythm, thank you!

  • Nicole replied to the topic Hand sewing needles in the forum off topic 9 years ago

    In the mail, but they are not fancy ones. #9 sharps. 🙂

  • I agree, I made a large per my measurements and wore it a lot, pregnant, 😉

  • I made this tonight http://www.pinterest.com/pin/73676143879970347/, I doubled the recipe but used much much less oil and substituted tinned tomatoes for fresh and 1/3 cup curry powder for green chillies.

    It was so yummy, everyone had seconds, even Tildy.

    @Rhythm, could I use desiccated coconut?

    I have a Juki and love it!
