I finished the pants yesterday and have been working on the bodysuit – only sleeves, sides seams and the bottom part to go. Oh and poppers!

Next I aim to trace bigger sized patterns ready.
lattemama replied to the topic What's for Tea Today, Mum? A cooking thread. in the forum Cooking and Baking 10 years ago

I’ve never learned to love eggplant – maybe I should give it a try again.

I’m stuck on the quinoa. It’s so good, I’ve had it for lunch all last week and this week. I make a batch on Sunday night, divide it into 4 jars and top up with chicken, fish or beef. Perfect for lunch.

I use this recipe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TnmjmHUUxsY (the…[Read more]

Tonight, http://www.taste.com.au/recipes/24751/classic+moussaka, as I was given 3 beautiful glossy egg plants.
I added extra garlic, salt and pepper as well as salting my egg plant before cooking it.
Nicole replied to the topic Smocking in the forum Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 10 years ago

@FrancesSuzanne, I did a lot but it was pretty simple and quick.
I love silk thread.

Let me know regarding the mags, no hurry, I have a huge storage area.
Elizabeth replied to the topic Fit on Sunday Brunch in the forum oliver + s: sunday brunch 10 years ago

I found the fit on this one to be pretty generous. I made a lengthened size 2 and it way too short but still fit otherwise when she was 4. She’s skinny, but still. I love this pattern- hope you can make it work for your girl!
Nicole started the topic Smocking in the forum Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 10 years ago

I feel a bit of a fraud here 🙂 I was heavily into smocking and embroidery in the late 90’s and early 00’s but my style has changed somewhat.
My claim to fame is I grew up in the town that Country Bumpkin was started and went to school with Margie Bauer and Lib Rayner’s daughters (the clever sisters who’s started A S&E).

Lotta, your food sounds so amazing!

I made this soup last week, https://www.pinterest.com/pin/73676143880130031/, I substituted light sour cream and used extra garlic.
Five hungry little Keller’s knocked off a double batch for tea.

A new year means new patterns for me.
Last year’s are all looking twee
I just have to buy more….

I have been working my way through the mending pile, wearing my hair shirt. 😉

I really hope to start a Music Class blouse for Liddy today. sigh….

Nicole replied to the topic Full bust adjustment in the forum liesl + co: woodland stroll cape 10 years ago

*I have not made this* but I have seen lots of different versions on lots of body shapes. I think it has enough ease not to need a FBA.

I am very happy to be corrected 🙂
Nicole replied to the topic Finishing a lace edge? in the forum oliver + s: fairy tale 10 years ago

This is definitely Melanie’s field, @Willanna. I have a blog post here https://www.pinterest.com/pin/73676143875948321/ in which I underlined velvet spotted tulle.

However, I would use this method http://oliverands.com/community/forums/topic/added-a-skirt-lining-how-do-i-sew-the-zipper for the lining.

Good luck!
Deb replied to the topic Using Tucks in O+S Patterns in the forum Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 10 years ago

@cybele727 …. can’t do the link or attachment either.
Maybe we should ask @FrancesSuzanne to do tips on heirloom sewing AND internet stuff. One of them is a graphic designer and can rock the web!
justsewit replied to the topic Using Tucks in O+S Patterns in the forum Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 10 years ago

Don’t worry Deb, I’ve only just learned how to do it – really savvy me!

What about a pintucked feature down the side of a pair of trousers?
Deb replied to the topic Using Tucks in O+S Patterns in the forum Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 10 years ago

@cybele727
When I click either link or reply nothing happens.
I truly think the internet is part voodoo, part magic and for me, most of what I try to do is jinxed 🙂
Deb replied to the topic Using Tucks in O+S Patterns in the forum Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 10 years ago

Dang… my last post entry was directed to Frances/Suzanne but the link didn’t appear. Ooops.
Deb replied to the topic Using Tucks in O+S Patterns in the forum Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 10 years ago

The hem tucks I was referring to are also called growth tucks. I use that method every chance and a tute is here:https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=5163707322010726966#editor/target=post;postID=5881343318468516870;onPublishedMenu=allposts;onClosedMenu=allposts;postNum=100;src=postname

Brittney replied to the topic Most and Least Worn O+S Outfit? in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 10 years ago

My least worn, but personal favorite, was Abby’s Ice Cream top: https://www.flickr.com/photos/52761227@N04/8068829007/in/album-72157631200589734/
She wore it less than 5 times.
She had two hopscotch tops she wore holes in to, one that she would wear multiple times a week.

Jack wears his sandbox pant/shorts multiple times a week. I told him…[Read more]

Lots of great reading and some great tips.
After quizzing my chiblings we worked out the most worn was this https://www.flickr.com/photos/motherof5/5444046339/in/set-72157625138776927
A Sailboat top in navy/white cotton lycra. Liddy is now wearing it after it was passed on to the Twins.
