I bought really cheap blackout curtains at Walmart a couple years ago for my older daughter’s nursery. Not terribly attractive, but lightweight and pretty effective – and cheap! I think each curtain was about $8. Two years and a cross-country move (and one more child!) later, they don’t fit the windows in the house we have now. I cut up one of the…[Read more]

I’m thinking I’m going to give @motherof5 ‘s rota system a try this year – I picked up quite a few Thread Theory patterns during their New Years sale (the wardrobe builder set – Strathcona henley, Jedediah pants, and Newcastle cardigan – and the Camas blouse for me), so together with Liesl’s new patterns, there’s quite a lot of sewing I can now do…[Read more]

I’d actually like to make the top that goes with the girl friday culottes – eventually – thinking it would be great for nursing.

Katy I made some Girl Friday culottes, and while I have some fit issues, since they were my first ever pants I’m pretty happy with them after all.

Thankyou everyone. I am hesitant to share my birth story like so many others have already. Why? Well put it this way I wouldn’t be one of those lucky ladies on one born every minute, I would be one of those people on a medical emergency program instead.

There were complications sewing me up! It was seriously touch and go there and the spinal was…[Read more]

Love your fabric choice for the culottes Katy. Maybe I should play along and make a pair for Lucy…. Afraid I shan’t be making the girl Fridays for myself – as much as I love all Liesl’s pins, I am just the wrong shape for them… 😉

(blushing) Thank you Heidi and welcome Judy.
The pocket definitely works, I have just made one, but by all means leave it off.
I have done that and it still looks adorable.

Congratulations @justsewit. Rest up!

42d here today and high temps expected again tomorrow. We have not been threatened with bush fires but we remain vigilant.
My heart goes out to all those who have been.
