Sherry, I should think flannelette would be perfect!

Sarvi, it is just what we in the west have been experiencing! We seem to get it first but by the time it gets east, it’s made world news and you see people looking as they are dying from the heat ( well it isn’t really a laughing matter because they forget to hydrate themselves and end up in emergency departments across the city with severe…[Read more]

@cybele727 it is certainly not a decision we made lightly but when you witness a leaving class of just one student at your school you do tend to sit up and think do you want this for your child? Because of the many many issues we have faced at this school, we also had to face the facts that our kids would not have the opprotunities that they could…[Read more]

Oh I’m so sorry I haven’t read your post above. My hubby has just texted me to say that a neighbouring farmer to us was killed in a head on collision at a town we pass through to go to Perth. I’m a bit teary because it happened the day we went to Perth and just after we passed the town. I am so very sad! Two valued farmers gone in one week! His…[Read more]

@cybele727 its often the most painful when the relationship with school fractures or is damaged in someway, especially when you are a parent that is “on the front” so to speak. I did that too until this year. I stepped back mainly because of the baby but also because I’d had enough of the complaints from school about my kids and being hauled into…[Read more]

You are the parent and you know your child best. I completely understand the dilemma you are facing as I think it has been made obvious on this forum that my household has had its fair share of issues with our school.

I wish you a very calm and cooperative meeting with many positive things coming out of it on Friday. As for your daughter, we had…[Read more]

The dress turned out fantastic and she looked very grown up – the Principal even commented on how pretty it was and her shoes! Alas I didn’t get to take a photo – hands full with a wriggly baby. Now it is covered in meatball sauce and needs a wash.

I think I will make it a tiny bit longer next time as she had issues when sitting (it rode up…[Read more]

Hi @emilyg I think it would be a very personal choice. My daughter was around this age when I started sewing Oliver and s patterns for her. Alot of the things weren’t worn because I forgot one important element in the equation – to have her make some of the decisions.

Does your daughter like relaxed outfits or does she like to dress up and go…[Read more]

I stitched the lining to the zipper but badly and will have to repeat the action properly so that we won’t see the stitching from the outside this time 😱😳.

I am currently altering the Lisette B6183 pants pattern to fit the body of mine. The aim is to make a pair of navy linen trousers to wear later this week.

Ok the dress is done except the stitching of the lining to the zipper. I can do that tomorrow night when I have some time to sit and stitch by hand. It looks lovely (even if I do say so myself) and I will attempt to have my (somewhat grumpy with me) daughter model it tomorrow afternoon.

I shifted the bust dart point back 1.5 inches and it looks…[Read more]
