I love these older names. So pretty and elegant.

We are exhausted here at my home. Gigi has suffered from chronic constipation since birth- which led to difficulty controlling her bowel.

Next year is Kinder, so I wanted this under control and I was done with all the normal interventions, ala diet and over the counter meds. They weren’t…[Read more]

Estelle is such a pretty name. I knew a little girl named Estella, who is about Imogen’s age.

I adore the name! I wanted Chloe to be a Charlotte! Elizabeth was a given for me I think because its Catherine’s middle name and Carol’s and also ties to Her Majesty. I think they chose beautifully.

Although I do hope that the next generation choose versions of the old names, like Elise instead of Elizabeth, just to mix things up slightly.

I made a little library dress from silk dupion and I did the version with the collar. I also have a pink silk one waiting to be sewn up.

It wouldnt matter where the silk came from or if it were dupion or Thai. It works beautifully with the pattern.

You may have to take care with laundering.

I’m not sure if I took a photo of the dress I made.…[Read more]

I love hearing when someone’s sewing does well!

Our pant are servicable. That is all that matters. Up next in my sewing is a banner for first communion. My son designed his ideal and I promptly vetoed it as it was frankly impossible. At least for sewing. I almost said… here glue your drawings on the fabric.

Sometimes you can lose some seam allowance if the seam is not perfectly flat. Perhaps try dampening in and rolling it under your fingers.
Is the the step you are referring too?

Thanks Fiona, well done on your frocks doing so well.

Good on you Fiona. I expect you will put a plan in place to sew things for the Mayfair throughout the year. It feels quite rewarding when your things prove to be popular.

I started the hot pink hopscotch skirt yesterday and had fully intended to finish it also. Alas I think we have some pearly white teeth coming as my poor baby has been terribly…[Read more]
