    It turns out I only needed to make three pairs of shorts for camp. The third of which were finished this afternoon! She’s all packed ready to leave at sparrows!

    I am in the process of cutting and sewing six pairs of shorts using a Jalie pdf pattern I put together this morning. They are for Imogen to take on camp and will pass the length test much more so than the current rtw ones! Poor girl can’t help being so tall!

    Pinwale corduroy or even denim (for baby jeans) would be perfect!

    What a wonderful event to be looking forward to and to sew for! Congratulations!

    @enbee are you in Australia or overseas? I found a place the otherday as I am looking to change mine (they aren’t fabric) and I found a place called labelsandribbon.com.au. They look rather good.

    Sounds extremely exotic! I actually might make some for our speedy trip south in a couple of weeks – even though it was only 14 degrees here today it is much colder south so they may be handy.

    I will pay some attention to a shorts pattern tomorrow in order to make six pairs for this camp!

    Today was perfect sewing weather – 47mm and still raining woohoo!

    I haven’t really had the chance to sew alot this past week and with more visitors coming tomorrow, time is running out to whip up something durable for Noah to wear. I am at the moment trying to make a pair of track pants using a pyjama pants pattern. They look huge! But I hope they will fit with room and it doesn’t matter if they are basic, they…[Read more]

    So I measured the children yesterday – the two biggies that is. I was referring to the body measurements chart on the Jalie patterns I am using to make some warm clothing (Noah in particular). He fits into what is a size 14 for chest and hips but is a small man’s size for the waist. He keeps saying he needs to lose weight but a growth spurt (and…[Read more]

    I am currently printing and sticking various Jalie pdf patterns together in the hope that I can find something matching Noah’s size. He badly needs winter clothes and his birthday is on Saturday so I thought I would attempt to use these patterns to make him something. If they work, I will be measuring the husband and the workman aswell! There will…[Read more]
