@justsewit, in regard to pockets with a ‘V’, I don’t 🙂
But thank you!

I often leave the darts out of the front of my skirts and trousers as I have a round tummy.

Thanks Ladies!
I will have a play after Christmas.
I pretty much live in linen tunics but I don’t like ‘tent-like’ tops. Too dangerous cooking if nothing else.
I liked the way it gave fullness from the bust down.

Yes!

Oh no Sarvi, what a pain!
(And I can vouch for your excellent present giving skills)

My baby is growing too fast, I just lay her on my bed after changing her and she rolled over and pushed herself up on her hands, in a bulky cloth nappy!

My others have all been ‘late’ babies. Late to roll, crawl or walk. I really hope she is not the exception…..

Wow, @scgoble, that must be tough. I must admit I am not good at getting to bed. I rarely go to bed before 11pm and I am often up at 6am but I do grab a 10 minute Nana nap whenever I can.

Oh my, so cute!

I would use the Music Class collar and the top yoke to make to front.

I am almost out of time to sew
Pj’s for Christmas, doncha know?

PS Definitely not being silly, I agonise over details.

It makes more of a statement to me.

I have a Juki and it came with a manual, of sorts. I find that has all the information I really need to know but I must admit I probably don’t use all the features.
I tend to Google and then pinterest any links I need.
Sorry not to be more help.

You are so sweet Jane. I hope you get some more sleep soon.

I used a rigid rugby knit for Trixie’s jacket, it is very warm.

I will admit @vothgirl, I shopped and wrapped throughout the year as I didn’t know how easy Trixie would be. It has made for a very easy Christmas and I will do it again.

I have a lot of gifts to buy, think 50+ people, so I am always on the look out for lovely,practical things.

Books and Belgium chocolate featured heavily this year.
