Thankyou for those links @liesl. Metal teeth are a definite however the colour of the zipper tape is what is the concern. I like the look of the link featuring the pink moto (is that Gwen Staffani wearing it?) I am undecided as to brass or silver and was planning to Take a sample of fabric to audition with but because I have very limited brick and…[Read more]

OMG! @lightningmcstitch we don’t want to ruffle any feathers 😂 God knows we have plenty of those winged pests here as it is! I was thinking black but I am going to have a look at the link you very thoughtfully provided and see if I can find a hot pink one. Thankyou so much😘 I am rather excited about the prospect of this jacket and hopefully it…[Read more]

I am supposed to be sewing a couple of jumpers (pullovers/ sweatshirt – keep you warm outerwear) for dh whose birthday is tomorrow and some more sleepshorts. But I am not getting very far.

My little sewing nook is normally child free. Not anymore as the child has discovered how to get in🙁 And since it is school holidays and I have three children…[Read more]

Hi Connie @totter2, if you are doing view b then the interfacting is not required. If you are doing view a (the bodysuit) then the interfacing goes on the crotch area.

I hope this answers your question.

I’m working my magic with fabric,
Of a colour described as “dab brick”
It’s not easy to sew
So I’m taking it slow
Afterall, it is only cambric!

(Sorry @lightningmcstitch I felt compelled to challenge everyone unnecessarily😀)

I’ve just made a long journey home

(A bit easier for you I hope)

The wintry sun is still shining
After rain that has had the gauge climbing
But the wind is so cold!
If I weren’t so old
Then I’d be outside wining and dining!

Hi @creativerose Rosie, I would suspect it may stop at a size 2t but I really can’t be sure as I am sewing Oliver and s for a baby for the first time (my other two are much older).

Alot of ladies just size up, especially if they use the flannelette variety. You could always do this and that would entitle you to pants/ bottoms that would fit well…[Read more]

I googled loungewear @sarvi and all I got were pyjamas?!

Oh @Sarvi you have brightened my day and my migraine is almost gone! I’m afraid I have no clue🙁 Would it be like leisure wear?

Yesterday I cut out two music class blouses amd started on one of them last night. They are both of brushed cotton but one is floral and the other plan.

This morning I plan to finish off the music box dress I made…[Read more]

@jennigirl sounds like great projects. You will be busy for the fair. I know I have to think out what my entries will be this year but I have a bit of time as entries for our Ag show don’t close until July and the show itself isn’t until late September. I might make another Bistro dress for the women’s section and am undecided about the children’s…[Read more]

@thejennigirl I had no idea it took so long to have a vaccination for rabies. We don’t have rabies in Australia (thankfully). It would have been very scary indeed! My Aunty had her eye ripped out when a small child by a dog that lived next door to them. It was discovered that the children walking to school would tease it. She went to play with…[Read more]

@jennigirl Thankyou. The great thing was that I didn’t have to pay a thing. Those guys were fantastic. But it was very embarrassing just the same. I really do feel out of my depth when it comes to machinery.

The thing is my husband did a tyre rotation before I left for the weekend. And because of his injuries, his muscle mass is not as high as…[Read more]

Vacation is three weeks away!
On white sandy beaches we will play!

(I wish!)

Would love to go but I’m in the west so it would be a hefty drive. Had the season been much better for us last year, we would have been able to plan a trip to Victoria to visit family and look around. I hope there will be something as equally fantastic in the future so we might be able to “take a jaunt” out there and look.

It’s a pity it isn’t touring😕

Yes a resounding yes! My almost eleven year old son has well and truly outgrown Oliver and s and I have been hard pressed to find anything decent and age appropriate ever since. My husband also desperately needs some new things and is a “hard to fit” man because he is very very broad and I have had no end of trouble trying to find things to sew…[Read more]

My daughter will only wear pink
With tulle and sequins I think
I’ve tried purple And red
“Mum! Did you hear what I said?
All other colours, they stink!”

This denim it just will not stretch
