    Hehe! I sincerely wish it could happen but baby girl will kick it something silly due to the weight. It is a hilariously funny image to have isn’t it? I don’t know anyone who has ever taken their sewing machine to hospital with them – but if it were allowed it would also be an option. I could drown out the noise of other crying babies and lull…[Read more]

    Two pairs of layette pants sewn – check!

    They were really quick to put together. I might get to make a few more but next, I plan to cut and sew a couple of bubble dresses and a puppet show set.

  • Ok I am a bit clueless, what are KAM snaps? I don’t actually use the ones from Liesl because I had bought some already before she stocked them. Mine are from Greenbeans but I have just jumped onto their site to link it and I think I might have the KAM ones you mention as this is what they state they have.

    I don’t know the difference really but do…[Read more]

    You could even do the welt pockets under the flap and topstitch the outline so that it looks fake but is actually real. The downside is that the lovely welt pockets aren’t seen. But it certainly is an idea to include proper ones.

    Darling Jay! A move can be very overwhelming at the best of times. Hang in there. Soon you will be able to get the sewing things out and get going again. Just take the time to be in the moment with your friends and loved ones and I sincerely hope everything goes very well for the packing part so you and the girls can take off and fly to your…[Read more]

    I have just finished the hems of three lullaby layette shirts. Just have to apply poppers and then take photos.

    Next is… Whatever I pick out of the tray. Probably some very cute looking linen layette pants.

    If I get the date we want, it mean there will be four weeks to go.

    Just got home… Sorry the shorts aren’t behaving Heidi. I haven’t tried the colette patterns yet even though I have some – not the shorts though so sorry I am not of use there.

    I’m thrilled! I popped into the new/ replacement craft shop in Geraldton and discovered they sell Rasant thread! That means I don’t have to get them from Perth! And they…[Read more]

    I see your point on all things there cybele. There is no point in having Christmas shirts here because it is too jolly hot half the time to wear anything other than bathers and go under the sprinkler. The winter theme sounds much better as then it can last for three months not three days!

    I am away from the sewing machine at the moment but when I…[Read more]

    Hope you enjoy yourselves at the wedding Nicole and that Tildy makes a lovely last minute flowergirl (bit of a treat I shouldn’t wonder). As for the Bobby, better a bobby than a snake but then do snakes eat dog biscuits?

    We have one hiding in the little shed outside the house gate at the moment. Our worker “Flo” found it when getting something…[Read more]

  • Yep! That’s what I would do. Surely you would only need to add one more on?

    I hope you feel much better soon Heidi. I was not in a good way on Wednesday and spent the day lying down – the world was spinning way too fast amongst other things.

    I spent the morning and part of after lunch cutting things out. I have two pairs of Layette pants and three layette shirts ready to go in the pile. I want to break out the bubble…[Read more]

    Ok, I have finished the three bodysuits – well I have to hand stitch two necklines but they are pretty much done.

    Next on the list is to cut out two pairs of Layette pants, a jacket and two more bubble dresses.

    That along with the School days jacket should keep me occupied for about a week I should think.
