    I think I have the supergirl fabric in my stash. I think it was intended for pj’s but didn’t get used when it was first bought. Oh well it happens. That’s how your fabric becomes “vintage”.

    I have sewn on the ties for the 2+2 but only along the neckline. i have decided I am not very good at topstitching because the underneath always looks really…[Read more]

    Are they girl super heroes or boys? My eldest daughter loves superheroes too – Batman and the like.

    Today I hope to complete the 2+2 top and at least make a start on the music class shirt. We shall see.

    I’m up to the ties on the 2+2 and I think I might bind the sleeve seams as I did this on the Apple picking dress and it turned out lovely. Besides it will save me changing threads on the overlocker straight away.

    I hope to complete it tonight but am not sure if this will happen as little miss sleeping beauty slept late and so will hit the hay…[Read more]

    Still plugging away at Elsa’s coat. Not so pleasant to sew wool with a stuffy nose and head cold.
    Sewing for babies sounds much more fun but I have Zara, Hugo, Me, Jed and Gifts before it is sweet Trixie’s turn again.
    It doesn’t stop me planning…..

    I’m looking forward to reading the details! Wedding as such fun things but the organising can get stressful if too many people have a say.

    Its like anything!

    I’ve been having fun with Chloe learning to roll over just this week and have indulged in some on the mat in the sewing room time. She’s been delighted in her new trick, with her big…[Read more]

    Are you in a rush? You can have my copy.
    I purchased it in case Trixie was a boy. I am happy to swop for that tee pattern.

  • Tamara replied to the topic What are you sewing now? in the forum off topic 10 years ago

    This morning I made a start on the 2+2 blouse while Chloe was enjoying herself practising her new trick on the floor – rolling over slowly without surprise but with big smiles.

    I was planning to take a photo of her wearing her (mismatched) rainbow hopscotch dress and hot pink playtime leggings, but I realised I had only stuck the label on. So I…[Read more]
