@Reeni, thank you!!!

Do you mean attendance or weighing scales? I have kitchen scales and my 1960 Sunbeam mixer 🙂

I am waiting on my new stove (happy dance) and my existing free standing oven is being moved out to the shed as a warmer/hotplate. It is gas and quite large but the door seals have gone so not so good for baking.

I would love your…[Read more]

@juliamom2009 janice that cape is a monster size version of the messy kid bib from Little Things To Sew, worn backwards. Because the fastening is off set to one side it shouldn’t be too visible from the front.
Hope that helps as an idea.

Awesome, thank you!
My new stove is being shipped and my children are pretty happy about the testing that will take place.

Any more? Savoury or sweet.
Nicole replied to the topic Jacket questions–sizing, underlining in the forum oliver + s: school days 10 years ago

My children are on the small side so take my two cents with a grain of salt!

My solid 14 month old is wearing the size 6-12 months with one fold of the sleeves.

Here is the 12-18 month on my older daughter, similar age https://www.flickr.com/photos/motherof5/4815131108/in/album-72157625184981969/

Not a giant recipe, but I would imagine it could be usefully doubled and made a few times — might be easier on your kitchen/baking tools too.
Nicole replied to the topic What are you sewing now? in the forum off topic 10 years ago

Wow @needlewoman you will be busy.

I finished my shirt but I am unhappy with the collar, completely my fault, I should have muslined just the collar.

In a nutshell, I swopped the collar and made it too long and the collar stand ate it! I have not tried it on yet… too nervous. I hope it looks okay, I really want to wear it to my son’s party.

Nicole replied to the topic Ribbing for waistband? in the forum oliver + s: sunny day shorts 10 years ago

I made my daughter some yoga pants with a ribbing waist and I did have to go back and add elastic
I unpicked a wee bit of the seam, threaded it through and then hand sewed it up again.

I knew you guys would rock! 🙂

@Sarvi , fairy cakes are a great idea, I can bake and freeze and ice on thawing.

@Ann-Maree great recipe and equally great advice, thank you so much!

@Kerrilyn, yours too? 🙂

Keep them coming Ladies!
Sarvi replied to the topic Halloween 2015 in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 10 years ago

Could you finish the neckline and wrists with bias (or jersey equivalent) and tuck the edges of the scarf-like bit in there?
Lightning McStitch replied to the topic Monochrome Project- B&W in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 10 years ago

Well I managed to double dip and get Sarvi’s size 5 project covered as well with my monochrome swingset.
I’ve always thought a lovely sewing community idea would be a “skill swap”. In the way that quilters swap quilt blocks, or people swap handmade gifts. In my swap idea (which I’m not volunteering to organise cause I think it could get really…[Read more]
Lightning McStitch replied to the topic Ribbing for waistband? in the forum oliver + s: sunny day shorts 10 years ago

I haven’t done it but I think it will work really well. Whether you put elastic in will depend on how good the recovery of your ribbing is, and how much faith you have in it not stretching out over time.
Lightning McStitch replied to the topic Halloween 2015 in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 10 years ago

@aprilshowers firstly, that is one fabulous idea for a costume. What a smart kid.
I’d start with a raglan sleeve pattern and then cut and split the front and back and sleeves to widen them. Then use elastic inside a casing around the neck to bring it all back in.
The art smock in Little Things To Sew is much like this. Or you could do it with the…[Read more]
Sarvi replied to the topic 'Big' Cake Recipes in the forum Cooking and Baking 10 years ago

You know, I do have one huge chocolate cake recipe, but it’s for making a huge number of individual cakes (it’s a recipe for 75, from El Bulli). That make me wonder whether it wouldn’t be easiest to make one normal cake to decorate and put candles on, then make a huge number of cupcakes. Won’t have to fuss with handing out 200 plates and forks,…[Read more]
