A neighbour dropped me off a bag of lemons this morning so I made this for supper http://www.taste.com.au/recipes/20191/lemon+delicious#comments

I doubled the recipe but reduced the sugar by 1/3, still fantastic.
I did add an extra 1/3 cup of lemon juice too.

I am open to any flavour @Reeni, just after a great tasting cake that will freeze.
You have been so helpful

Just a few questions…. cake flour, is that Self Raising flour?
Do you have a good recipe for Swiss meringue icing? I could Google one but I love tried and true recipes.

Thank you again!

@Reeni, thank you!!!

Do you mean attendance or weighing scales? I have kitchen scales and my 1960 Sunbeam mixer 🙂

I am waiting on my new stove (happy dance) and my existing free standing oven is being moved out to the shed as a warmer/hotplate. It is gas and quite large but the door seals have gone so not so good for baking.

I would love your…[Read more]

Thanks @jesims – definitely! And @lightningmcstitch such a smart idea – I never would have thought of that!! Off to make a giant Messy Kid Bib!
juliamom2009 replied to the topic Halloween 2015 in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 9 years ago

My kid is going to be Word Girl (a cartoon that I actually LOVE) and I’d love some advice on her cape….if you look at the photo I’ve attached, I’m not sure if the yellow around the neck of the top is supposed to be part of her cape?

This will be a super simple costume to make….mostly – once I figure out the cape/neckline!

Any advice?
juliamom2009 replied to the topic Jacket questions–sizing, underlining in the forum oliver + s: school days 9 years ago

I did a corduroy jacket last year for my daughter – I lined the body with a rather lightweight (Polartec 100) fleece, and lined the sleeves with quilting cotton and underlined with Thinsulate. We’re in California, so she won’t get too much wear out of it here but she did wear it in Boston when it was less than freezing. I made her a size 5 and…[Read more]

Awesome, thank you!
My new stove is being shipped and my children are pretty happy about the testing that will take place.

Any more? Savoury or sweet.
Nicole replied to the topic Jacket questions–sizing, underlining in the forum oliver + s: school days 9 years ago

My children are on the small side so take my two cents with a grain of salt!

My solid 14 month old is wearing the size 6-12 months with one fold of the sleeves.

Here is the 12-18 month on my older daughter, similar age https://www.flickr.com/photos/motherof5/4815131108/in/album-72157625184981969/

@cybele727 – I love the ugly fabric challenge idea!
Nicole replied to the topic What are you sewing now? in the forum off topic 9 years ago

Wow @needlewoman you will be busy.

I finished my shirt but I am unhappy with the collar, completely my fault, I should have muslined just the collar.

In a nutshell, I swopped the collar and made it too long and the collar stand ate it! I have not tried it on yet… too nervous. I hope it looks okay, I really want to wear it to my son’s party.

Nicole replied to the topic Ribbing for waistband? in the forum oliver + s: sunny day shorts 9 years ago

I made my daughter some yoga pants with a ribbing waist and I did have to go back and add elastic
I unpicked a wee bit of the seam, threaded it through and then hand sewed it up again.
