@thejennigirl How lovely you are.
As a girl I was very tiny but full busted and it was hard to find nice clothes.
You are correct, my Twins are quite a different size. They have full derrieres but are very small chested. They ‘out grew’ O+S pattern before they ‘grew out’ of the size range, IYKWIM?

May I suggest the Liesl+Co Bento tee? I made the…[Read more]

Hi Ann, I found this and it seems like it might be useful:

But if anybody has actually done it themselves or knows of a great tip please chime in!

@enbee I have found they change instantly. If one of my photos get tagged with one of those explore ‘awards’ I make the photo ‘private’ (which gets rid of the 50 random favourites and odd comments) and then change it back to public.

@enbee I can only add my story. If I upload photos, privately, they seem to stay that way, even after I change the settings, for a period of time.

If I want a photo to be public, I upload it publicly.

Flickr can be a bit temperamental.

I am sorry not to be more help.

Pan cake day!

I had a large bag of oranges left at our door so I made these http://www.bestrecipes.com.au/recipe/pancakes-with-orange-sauce-L6750.html?ref=recipe_collection_view%2Csweet-sauce-recipes

So very very good!

@thejennigirl, I replied over in Current Affairs 🙂

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]

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]

Have fun! As I was looking for this pattern, I noticed the 2+2 blouse has ties at the neckline, and one of the views of the Birthday Party has ties at bodice — might like to check those out, you too, Jeb 🙂

Happy sewing, folks!

There is very little difference in length among the sizes 5-8, looks like about 1/8 to 1/4 inch difference between sizes. They’re all 3.25 inches wide. The size 8 has notches on both long sides at the same point, 9.25 inches from the straight end. The length is 26 and 3/8 for the size eight, measured along the long edge, and the pointy tip is 3/4…[Read more]
