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!

@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]

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?
