Well that could be a real “out of the box” type thing. It could be colours, the kind of fabric and print of fabric and also the pairing of fabric and sewing pattern. It could be a really surprising project to undertake (and take a look at). I guess it could have the potential of what it would be like to make something in the kitchen without so…[Read more]

Looks perfect for a pear 😉 This must be her first pattern release as I can’t see any others.

The Garden party dress is complete! What a satisfying sew😀.

Thankyou so much @robin! I will forward that information onto Matt and should he “need” any flavours he can’t get over there, I will just send them along with the milo.

@nzsewist oh yes I think it would be a perfect holiday project to do! I was just brainstorming ideas of what other projects/ challenges we could do in future😀.

Oh that Bella pattern looks interesting Heidi. Do let us know how it goes.

I have a multitude of things on the go at the moment but haven’t really had the opportunity to sit and sew all week. I did this morning when Chloë finally slept for more than fifteen minutes and I took advantage of the time by getting started on a garden party dress I had…[Read more]

Are you using fabric from your stash or shopping specifically with this dress in mind Lynda?

Generally what I do when I am figuring out how much fabric is required, is to lay some out (in alot of cases I audition fabric and check to see if I have enough that way) and place the pattern pieces on top to try and fit them.

You would need enough…[Read more]

@Robin he sent through his address and we are guessing ON is Ontario? He’s not very specific otherwise.

Sounds like a wonderful exhibition!

I’m really unsure as to variety of flavours or anything for overseas. I’m even not that sure about how accessible it would be for him to access them from the US. Even that would incur some research. I think he just mentioned it because that was something he missed about home. I am happy to send to him. It would help relieve the homesickness.

I say go with what feels right. Maybe do a circulation or one pattern at a time? I like the circulation bit better myself that way you don’t run the risk of being bored with the same old twenty times over. You could do them assembly style if you did chose to do say class picnic tops all in one go though.

The hopscotch skirt is one I really…[Read more]

He tells me he has milo on everything 😜😳 but then he is training with the wrestling team and of course needs the stuff for energy. He tells me it tastes wierd (no offence to Canadian products or anything. I think he is used to the way it tastes at home). He’s also been looking for timtams and can’t find them anywhere.

I did look up some…[Read more]
