Oh, it was so good! We almost fought over the last morsels.

After dinner last night I managed to make a ham and cheese pie for tonight, and while I was at it I also made the lamb meatballs in tomato sauce I had planned tomorrow night.

When I made the pies I chopped up too much leek and I mixed some extra egg and milk for the filling so I had…[Read more]

After reading my own post, I would just baste and neaten the dress and lining together and then add the yoke, as per usual.

That was a huge job, well done!

Stay safe Melanie!

The only time I got caught out cutting against the grain was with a silk Birthday Party dress.
I cut the ties, one side with the grain one side against, and the against side stretched a bit.

Handle it carefully and it should be fine

Maybe a photo will help? (I hope so.)

I have only recently discovered kale and I love it!

Thank you Lotta, it will be exciting if anything comes of it.

I’ve gotten hooked on cabbage lately. Kale is a favourite which is good because there’s plenty of it at this time of year, but I think the one I like best is Cavolo Nero (black cabbage). I sautee it with just water or with a splash of Marsala wine added, then seasoned with salt and pepper and some Dijon mustard and a nice helping of cream or creme…[Read more]

@jay 1965vw, I will do some research for you, re my Juki.

I am so excited. I may need to buy some licence labels!

When I was in hospital, last week, Trixie was ‘baby-napped’by the nurses and they loved her clothes. Jed (my husband) is very proud of my sewing and he unpacked and showed off her School Days coat, her Tea Party dress, her Hopscotch…[Read more]
