@jay_1965vw congratulations sweetheart! What a wonderful piece of news to share and she looks a very special treat. I am so glad she is content at the moment (my Chloë was like that too) and that you are all doing well. Three isn’t as bad as what people say… I think it is just used as a deterrent myself! Dorothy has a beautiful meaning to the…[Read more]

I have been busy tracing and altering patterns for myself. As yet I have one dress in pieces yet to be sewn and I traced the field trip pattern last night in order to sew a few basics for the baby.

Today I will trace an adult raglan pattern for my eldest and see if I can get a few t shirts from the seemingly minimal knit fabric range I have.

Tamara these are brilliant! Thankyou for sharing these.

@ldk237 Thanks Lisa. As it so happens I jumped over to Lekala after I posted the above message and saw it. I just have to pin the boy down and measure him which will bring joy to both of us😉 – he is the worst to measure!

I am hoping that Liesl will do one in the men’s range as it would be nice to have another t shirt style to choose from. And if…[Read more]

Does anyone know where to find a decent raglan t shirt pattern for men? We want to mix up the styles this winter and use a raglan tshirt style along with the metro tee for the mancub. And I think it would be nice to sew for the hubby too.

Today though, I am printing, sticking, tracing and cutting out the patterns for various things. I may do some…[Read more]

@thejennigirl I can definitely relate to this. My eldest is only thirteen and busting out like you wouldn’t believe! She even notices the size! But then she has it in her genes poor girl with two busty grandmothers, who can compete? Think of it this way, at least your daughter will have no need to get an enhancement in this area because she’s been…[Read more]

I can relate @dubhels2003 motivation would be really nice right now!

I am currently stressing a litte. The promise to help tape pdf patterns together and cut out the tracings went totally out the window. I have only just measured the girl and she’s jumped two sizes! No wonder the jalie jeans I made her last August don’t fit, we are looking at…[Read more]

@mcholley1 have you ever made the school days jacket? You could do the pleat in the lining as per this and it should work. I would take it all the way down.

I have just finished the most darling little croquet dress! And here I go again dreaming of more!

Next though is another shot at a simplicity jumpsuit for my eldest. Seeing as I couldn’t get anymore of the original fabric I will start again and use linen instead.
