    Well that is an option thanks Nicole and Jess.M. I helps to ask others who’ve trodden the path before.

    I have this pattern and haven’t yet made it. I was thinking of making it up even though the weather has turned and is definitely not strappy top time.

    I’m wondering about how the top would go with a bodysuit underneath?

    I plan to make the 3-6 month size at the moment with a view of sizing up as she grows.

    Welcome Lynn, I will be looking forward to seeing a photo of your completed badminton nightgown.

    I am up to setting in the sleeves on the puppet show dress.

  • Do you mean May and June? If so then I’m in – was going to start sewing the 6-12 month range the. Anyway so why not start with the skirts?

    I don’t know about any video tutorials but I do know that if you pick up a copy of the A-Z of Smocking, you can’t go wrong! I also know that if you live in the US, a SAGA chapter might also help. I’m in Australia but have been a SAGA member and they have online courses etc – but first things first, you need to know some little ins and outs of…[Read more]

    Oh dear! Poor Sarvi!

    If it makes you feel any better, I am being treated by an in the shower rendition of the sountrack to Frozen and thinking about the dress that Chloe should be wearing but isn’t because it is just a pattern laid out on fabric, half cut!

    Its going to be an “it was meant to worn at Easter, Easter dress” which I can hopefully…[Read more]

    It just goes to show that even online stores are run by humans!

    I am knitting tonight – third time lucky!

    In the sewing basket I have still got those shirts. I need to complete the easter bunny pj’s for Chloe and then I need to do a pretty puppet show dress NEED TO!

    Then I will make something adult sized and nursing friendly.

    That’s this week!…[Read more]

    Oh Jay I’m so sorry for your loss! It is so very hard to see someone you love so much slip away due to such a horrible disease as cancer. Having seen my fil go from a fit man in his late 70’s to a frail old man looking 90 in just six months was enough. I completely understand the enormity of your grief having seen it first hand myself.

    I think…[Read more]

  • Oh that is great news! There are little people popping up everywhere here at the moment so the baby boy born just this morning might actually get a special gift using the newest boy pattern!

    Its a sad and stressful time for you right now Jenny and that means its all the more important to take some “me” time. Is there a way of setting up the machine to sew something small? Just to let your soul take a breath? Get the needle and thread out and handstitch something maybe?

    It is just so important to take some time out. This is why we…[Read more]
