@Justsewit, it will come in time! My #2 ended being higher risk than #1 (having contracted H1N1 during the pregnancy, and having taken a belly flop in a parking lot, and having developed a life threatening sinus infection, and having developed serious anemia) and Gigi (@Nicole- Thank you! That’s short for Gabriella Genevieve) was my end result.…[Read more]

Oh Nicole…. we are good. I wanted to give @justsewit some support, some hugs.

The stats on maternal mortality around the world are truly terrifying. We are so lucky to live in this world today, compared to even a few generations ago, when pregnancy and delivery were truly life threatening.

@justsewit…
When I was pregnant with #1, I was almost 36 at his birth. I had unchecked, undiagnosed gestational diabetes, and was on the edge of preeclampsia. Extreme pelvic pain. So I was high risk for being “old” and for everything else. I am only 5 ft tall and ballooned to 180 lbs. I literally couldn’t move. I begged my doctor NOT to…[Read more]

@justsewit while my C-sections were not quite dramatic, I do know that I would not have survived my first without it, nor would he have.

I remember my complications with my second, hearing the doctor swear as she was ripping my scar tissue from bad healing with the first. Eventually I had a hysterectomy about 2 years after the last due to…[Read more]

@justsewit Time to rest! Enjoy your newborn snuggles, she is beautiful.

I am preparing my pieces for the culottes sew-along and my fusible interfacing is refusing to adhere to my fabric. Very maddening! I have no idea why but I am getting it to stick just enough.

I am making the Lunch Box Culottes, but is anyone making the Girl Friday version…[Read more]

Congratulations @justsewit. Rest up!

42d here today and high temps expected again tomorrow. We have not been threatened with bush fires but we remain vigilant.
My heart goes out to all those who have been.

Good luck @justsewit.

Class Picnic blouse and shorts finished. I piped the shorts facing which actually made the easier to sew. How often that does happen?

Now I must finish this dress for my cousin. A sweet baby boy named Eoin placed it on hold for 12 months.

Good luck @justsewit.

A fabric gift is pretty much my dream gift, lucky you! I just use a fine needle and guterman, I’ll be interested to know what anyone else uses.

@justsewit Really looking forward to seeing your little arrival in her new and beautiful clobber!

@justsewit, in regard to pockets with a ‘V’, I don’t 🙂
But thank you!

I’m so sorry for your loss @justsewit.

I’m off on a business trip for the rest of the week. First time in years that I have reason to go away on business and of course Rickard has to go away too. So both girls were shipped off to school this morning and their grandparents will pick them up and have them stay until Saturday. We were there on…[Read more]
