@katybellabug it is way too fast 🙁

I finished the Lisette Attache peplum top in neoprene (scuba knit) for Elsa.
It was a great fabric to sew but not fun to unpick, the stitches ‘sunk in’. I did make a calico muslin first and also did the petite adjustment and scooped out the neck…[Read more]

Good point! But how do you explain this? I click on a photo and comment. The photo is in the flickrpool for the group. I click after commenting and go back to the pool to look at other photos. The first photo has completely disappeared!

Its getting very wierd 😕

Maybe I need to encourage shoes of prey to do a children’s line also. They say they are going to branch in to the mens shoes but I think it would be more fun designing shoes for kids with interestingly fitting feet.

Oh yes my feet went wider after the children also – with each of them! Glad I never had more than three or there’d be me going…[Read more]

All I know is that I grew out of women’s sizes in “normal” shoe shops when I was 12! It was not fun and I had an awful time finding…[Read more]

Haha. I love momster though!

I fear my children have been cursed with bad feet. Mine grew in pregnancy from ladies 4-5. It’s like a 32 until I had them. The kids will have similar struggles finding age appropriate shoes as they get older. Mr Sunshine has really wide small feet. WeeGee has feet with heels so narrow that we either have…[Read more]

😂 whoops I meant Monster!

Don’t I know that dilemma well @cybele727. We don’t even have kids shoes in a proper shoe shop near us! We have to go to Target 😱 and even then I don’t, simply because they don’t fit and I hate having to try on every pair of shoes in the department to try and find something that does! That’s why I’d be interested to know if they cater for wider…[Read more]

Goodness me. I hope I remember in our spring. Our long time local children’s show shop closed. I had the darnedest time finding my girl even sneakers because no one “fits” kids anymore. She’s literally got one pair of shoes (not counting ballet, tap, and cleats). And I’m willing to spend a fair amount on decent shoes. My kids feet grow slow.…[Read more]

Sorry, Sarvi. No emoji for you, I guess.

Maggie I loved your Paddington set so much. Makes me wish I’d tracked down a better lining fabric. I’m hoping to make a suitcase following your lead, to have as a backup costume for this year. Her plans are entering the change-every-second phase.

Haha, I wish the tractor incident had happened, it would make a great story! I’m afraid it’s a hyperbolic tractor 🙂

One Butterfly top and two butterfly skirts complete!

I printed off a couple of Liesl and co patterns tonight, with a view of making them for my eldest. They may be a birthday gift depending on how fast I get them made.

We’re huge fans, too. S has worn them since she could walk. We buy a pair every spring and they last and last.

Nicole is spot on. You could run them over with a tractor and they’d still look good. They were my favorite shoes to wear as a child, and now my kid always has a pair. She doesn’t give them the same hard wear I did since she’s usually wearing school shoes, but I’ve never known a pair to give out before being outgrown.

Are they a standard width though? I found that Clarks were the only shoe my kids could wear because the size and width were fitting. With a standard width we would have to go up several sizes and then they’d look like clown shoes. Both my older ones are now in adult sizes!

I have been referred to this place for more grown up type shoes for my…[Read more]
