One Butterfly top and two butterfly skirts complete!

I printed off a couple of Liesl and co patterns tonight, with a view of making them for my eldest. They may be a birthday gift depending on how fast I get them made.

Nicole is spot on. You could run them over with a tractor and they’d still look good. They were my favorite shoes to wear as a child, and now my kid always has a pair. She doesn’t give them the same hard wear I did since she’s usually wearing school shoes, but I’ve never known a pair to give out before being outgrown.

Are they a standard width though? I found that Clarks were the only shoe my kids could wear because the size and width were fitting. With a standard width we would have to go up several sizes and then they’d look like clown shoes. Both my older ones are now in adult sizes!

I have been referred to this place for more grown up type shoes for my…[Read more]

I love them as well – my daughter is on her 3rd pair…that have now sadly been chewed through by our puppy. I am going to stitch them together however….but they totally last; I hand them down to our friends when outgrown and they really look brand new. Super comfortable (per my kid) – sad though that she can’t wear sandals to school.

I have just a had a wee look at what you are talking about with regards to these sandals and price etc. They look to be available in Australia for the same as what you say they are in the US. What is the exchange rate like between the Aussie and NZ currencies? I thought they were pretty much on par but admit I haven’t checked that out lately.

As someone who spends a lot of money on children’s shoes I feel qualified to answer 😉

They are awesome!
My American galpals put me on to them. I can buy them new for about $70 AUS, which is half the cost of the Gavarlin shoes I was sending them to school in and they last so well.

They don’t scuff, we clean them at night with a wet one ( inside…[Read more]

Excellent!😎

That will make my Christmas message easier (Australian political joke) thanks @admin 🎅😏

After having the most frustrating pattern altering session, I have turned my attention back to the baby and her much needed summer wardrobe. I have cut out and am sewing a butterfly top and skirt and hope to have both complete tonight when I embark on an all night sewing stint seeing as neither the infant or myself are sleeping well right now!

I haven’t been on the forums much lately so I’m not sure if this is new or if that’s how it always worked.

ETA: And of course it didn’t do that this time. Ok, then the post I noticed it in was the “What are you sewing…[Read more]

I finished Sofia’s chocolate biscuit shirt in time for Picture Day and she said all her friends wanted to eat her up when she wore it.

I have ordered more pink twill to make a new pair of Field Trip pants for her. She loved the old pair so much (as did I) I decided to track down some of that pink twill. It won’t be here for a few more days so I…[Read more]

No, but seriously – the speed of a click is not something you can control – you either click or you don’t.

My guess is Flickr is having server issues and the photos where you can’t comment are on affected servers whereas pictures that work are on healthy servers. Give it a day or two and try again.

Yay! I’m glad you went for it, doesn’t it feel great to try something big?
