@thejennigirl, I replied over in Current Affairs 🙂

@justsewit this one http://www.lekala.co/catalog/skirts/pattern/5093#model

There is not a lot of hand holding with this company though. My Twins love the style but I have to concentrate and do a lot of googling to figure things out.

Enjoy your daughter liking pink, that will likely fade out…[Read more]

I hope Murray continues to heal @justsewit

@thejennigirl (moving the conversation over here) my husband was really excited to see a seed&super unit (farm equipment) for sale online, for a really good price, think $10,000 under what it should be. He spent the day ringing the listed number to finally contact the exasperated vendor. The listing was…[Read more]

@motherof5 oh, I’m laughing. The registration for the Russian Egg demonstration is full, so now I can let the answering machine do the work. So it’s on to dinner and then a late night of sewing!

Babies grow far, far too fast.
Their childhood I know will not last
Some days might drag on
Sewing goals are not won

Oh no @thejennigirl, it is funny to read but not so funny to deal with, I am sure.

I finished a hooded top for my daughter and now I am on to a denim skirt.

My baby girl loves the outside so I am not getting as much sewing done, my garden looks lovely though 😉

This is really useful, thank you so much for sharing it.

You posted just right @thesimpson5.

Just a wee tip, if you are short on fabric, you *can* cut the tie in three pieces. The back neck section on bias so it fits nicely and the tie sections on straight of grain. It is a bit fiddly but saves a lot of fabric if you are pushing things.…[Read more]

I went upstairs to sew, and the house phone started ringing off the hook. The paper made a misprint of the phone number in a listing featuring hay for sale. I keep having to explain that I do not have any hay and that this is the wrong number, and I can’t not answer the phone because I agreed to take registration for a church event. I did call the…[Read more]

I’m working on 2 blouses for myself right now. One is a modern Simplicity that is very similar to a favorite peplum blouse of mine from Anthropology in a vintage wienie dog knit, the 2nd is a vintage McCall’s summer blouse in a green sateen cotton with tiny white polka dots. Of course, I went to JoAnn’s yesterday and snatched up a hot new Vogue…[Read more]

@liesl I loved it and the Jumprope is my favourite pattern out of all my sewing patterns, not just O+S.

I have finished my daughter, Elsa, turn on my #sewingrota http://fiveandcounting-motherof5.blogspot.com.au/2016/03/elsa-round-up.html and now I am onto Zara, her twin.

Today I started a knit jacket with welt pockets. The instructions were very scant so I pulled out my Art Museum pattern.

Is the fabric plain or patterned? Can you add add a small front strip panel, just a cm or so, to join the front pieces?

Or can you sew the selvedges together?

Oh dear Heidi, I do feel for you.

By the way, cruise through these beautiful dresses. https://www.flickr.com/search/?w=694451%40N21&m=pool&q=jump%20rope
