    Got to make the 3-6 month size in the lullaby layette asap! Only 8 weeks old and bursting out of them already. Too late! Baby girl is summoning!

    No doubt you will settle in very well – especially if you have sewing friends nearby. Or even non sewing ones – amazing how such a skill can network to one’s advantage.

    Yes Heidi jolly good idea to sew with a no need to iron it type fabric. Jay they have fleece on on the catalogue for Spotlight so will be thinking of you in the wintry weather you…[Read more]

  • I would say that you wouldn’t actually fold the fabric as per you would ordinarily to get the result because the tucks moght end up a bit off. Would trace the pattern on the fold but not cut it on the fold in order to get the full piece and then work from there to determine where to put my tucks.

    This is just how I would do it.

      Hey Nicole, didn’t I see your layette in grey as well? Great neutral choice.

    I understand! Still it is no excuse to not enjoy the experience. You would make overseas friends and set up networks that would probably allow them to visit you in Australia. And we all know there really is no place like home.

    You are actually giving your girls a wonderful experience – I lived overseas as a child for a year and still draw from…[Read more]

    We had no power yesterday for much of the day so sewing couldn’t be done. I did make a start on tracing some 6-12 month sized items ready to forge ahead on them before they are actually required. It will work well with a busy winter schedule.

    Woohoo! I ordered the new Lisette patterns from the Butterick website last week (when Meleliza said they had them on sale) and they turned up today! Very fast shipping! So excited!

    Jay what happens if you have that much fun in the next three years that you won’t want to leave? So very glad things are falling into sync for you. Enjoy your machines when you get them. It seems the weather is perfect for sewing (and playing) so you’d be torn between what to do.

    I finished the pants yesterday and have been working on the bodysuit – only sleeves, sides seams and the bottom part to go. Oh and poppers!

    Next I aim to trace bigger sized patterns ready.

  • Don’t worry Deb, I’ve only just learned how to do it – really savvy me!

    What about a pintucked feature down the side of a pair of trousers?

    I have a pair of Layette pants and a bodysuit pinned to some Lisette lisette ready to make into pyjamas for baby Chloe. Both are size 0-3 months.

  • @FrancesSuzanne that sounds very exciting – proof that great minds are very much thinking alike here!

    So how are you going to do them? Twin needle? Folded? Please not corded (I don’t know if this will work with a crosshatch). I haven’t done the crosshatch either but I am intrigued and can’t wait for all to be revealed.
