Wow! Too cold for the coat! That would be an experience we here never have! Ususally it is too warm for the coat!

I am up to sewing – yay! Done the front bodices and the back and am in the middle of sewing the hood, just got to trim. Then topstitching and applying the extra bits and pieces.

My aim is to get through the vast majority today – and…[Read more]

I have a multitude of methods as I am yet to find the method that can accomodate all of them. I have a set of draws that are filled to the brim of patterns and because I have up until now used just the larger sizes, there are not many traced pieces to place in the pattern envelope. I do have display folders (like what Heidi mentioned above)…[Read more]

Out of the mouths of babes!

I have a letter written by my Imogen in year one telling me she likes it when I make her dresses! It is intended for a frame and a great deal of preservation.

We are currently sitting in the doctors surgery waiting for our turn. The appointment was for thirty minutes ago and there are six people in front of us. Its…[Read more]

I’m a bit confused. Do we have to re register to have email notification for blog posts now? There have been two entries which I wasn’t notified via email about so just wondered.

We have just lost power again! And here I was ready to use the iron on some fabric! Really really hoping it comes on sooner than reported and that it doesn’t go out again tomorrow. It is simply impossible to sew in the dark!

In a perfect world, tomorrow the power will be on and I will be able to get cracking on this coat!

Kahawa101, I feel the same way. I have the opposite issue with my kids where they grow just too jolly fast sometimes to keep up! I have been forced to buy clothes for my daughter “from a shop” this season strictly because she has grown and I have had so little time up my sleeve to sit and sew that it just hasn’t been worth considering the…[Read more]

Thanks for that lattemama! I will remember that for next time because I think I am not able to do it now with this repeat – more than 12 hours.

Thanks for that lattemama!

Ok, I’d like to know where the Edit Button is and how do you delete a double up message? Here I am sending a message but it doesn’t show up so I write it again and again!!

How wonderful to have a new baby in your extend family Lotta! Even more wonderful for others to clean up for you aswell.

Nicole, I swear by baits! I just wish they would die outside!
