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.

On my fabric sits the cat
And there’s nothing wrong with that
She protects it, you see
‘Cept sometimes when she pees
I’d rather her sit on the mat.

With needle and thread in my hand…

We get it on UKTV through foxtel but the second series hasn’t been advertised yet. Maybe it will be our turn next year.

Well it will be an interesting day of sewing for me today. We had a huge storm last night and it took our power so the generator has been going all night will be likely on all day aswell. We will test its limits with the iron and aircon aswell as machines to see how much it can stand.

Hilarious what autocorrect “thinks” the word should be! That’s funny.
So glad to hear you are regaining you sewjo.

I didn’t get a stitch of sewing done yesterday but today I will be in the sewing room to sew those bodysuits that I wanted to work on yesterday and if I am quick will get on with the puppet show tunic also.

This will clear the tray…[Read more]

Aaaand…. we’re back! I actually uploaded some photos to the flickr group after quite a drought! Nothing fancy just some half made things and some things that I made months ago. But it is good to catch up and stop lagging behind for once.

I am going to upload the things I completed yesterday next so stay tuned.

Today though, I am waiting for…[Read more]

Hi Kerri

“About the forums” is a category with which you can start a new thread and ask questions like you have just done. So (thumbs up!) job done on that question.

As for the flickr photos, I have been posting on flickr for more than three years and all of my photos are still there. Did you tag yours at all?

I haven’t tagged all of my photos…[Read more]

My son would adore the train print in his – train addict that he is. But unfortunately he has outgrown the school days pattern.

Mine is still in the works. I will get to it soon I hope.

Oh Jay you sound like me! The plan is very definitely there but not exactly implemented – as planned!

I attached the poppers today. I plan to take photos of the finished items shortly. I just have the Cape Ann Bodysuit to do. I found it so much easier wrangling the elastic through those little awkward spots and then doing some quick edgestitching…[Read more]

Ok I have never had such a hard time threading elastic as I have just now with one of the legs of the Cape Ann bodysuit. I had to perform surgery and unpick part of the edgstitching to extract the head of a safety pin which got stuck! And I think the next one I make will have trimmed side seams because that was a nightmare to get through.

My sewing room (I can officially call it that now) has four windows and a glass sliding door so there is no shortage of natural light. Unfortunately it gets very very hot in there so the air con goes on the majority of the time except in deep winter when I can give it a rest, either rug up or sit under a window to warm up.

I need curtains because…[Read more]

Justine, seeing snow would be a treat – it was for me. But masses of snow such as what our forums friends (and strangers) are experiencing would be quite a shock.

I am assuming you live no where near snow fields? Well neither do I but I have a hankering to take the family over to just experience snow in the way I remember it. Lovely soft white…[Read more]
