Nicole replied to the topic Easter Sewing in the forum
Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 10 years agoNot for Easter, but I have been planning Beatrix’s outfit for her 11 month photo.
I have taken a portrait of each of my babies at 11 months of age, wearing a smocked outfit.
Beatrix was lucky enough to receive two smocked dresses from her honorary Nana in Canada and the little white dress will be perfect for the photo.
11 months is such a lovely…[Read more] -

We can hit the machines together @justsewit.
@lattemama, that sounds amazing. I did some screen printing at school and loved it. I still have my carved lino prints somewhere…. I was heavily influenced by Margaret Preston.

Nicole replied to the topic What are you sewing now? in the forum off topic 10 years ago
I understand where you are coming from MC. My husband has offered me his office and he will move to the children’s office/my sewing room but then I will be shut away and probably get less chance to sew.
I actually sewed today, so excited about that. It is two weeks since I had my surgery but it knocked me for six.
I made a linen Bandana bib for…[Read more] -

Congrats on the power back and the all clear @justsewit!
I took an introductory screen printing class yesterday at a workshop in town. I paid a (very modest) fee for the class and now I have full access to the workshop for a year to make as many screens and print as much as I like. I can even bring the kids there and let them help if I feel like…[Read more]

I am watching Joi Mahon’s fit class on Craftsy. Love it and can’t wait to apply it. I do love Craftsy as I can watch over and over and pause and pause again.

Have you checked to see whether Shaukat will deliver to India? They don’t charge VAT when shipping elsewhere.

cybele727 replied to the topic Lisette! in the forum off topic 10 years ago
I love the dress too. I see lots of flattering things for someone of my shape and size. EG: a v neck, even with the tab is flattering for shorter people who don’t have lots of room between neck/chin and chest. The pleats at the chest should hopefully accommodate the double D girls. And yet it is “dressy” enough for work. The waist at the…[Read more]

Deb replied to the topic Easter Sewing in the forum
Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 10 years agoSome time ago, I had the honour of arranging accommodation and a venue for classes given by Gail Doane and Susan O’Connor. The duo were doing a sort of “Thelma and Louise” tour across North America in Gail’s suburban. Lucky me, they chose to put Toronto on their route.
I got to spend a whole week taking classes with Gail and what a wonderful…[Read more] -

Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 10 years agoWhat an amazing pinterest board of inspiration! We don’t envy your decision in the least! How old is your daughter that you’ll be sewing for?

Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 10 years agoOh, what pretty fabric and SO perfect for an Irish wedding! I was drawn to that same photo from your Pinterest board as well. One suggestion I’d make is to make the underlayer a slightly darker shade than the overlayer. With white on white I find that sometimes I can’t see the pretty details as well as I’d like.

Perfect, I was so hoping you’d done a tute for it. This will be very useful for the baby girls in my life.

I made Beartix a Hopscotch/Tea Party bloomers skirt. As I have stated previously, pattern making is not my thing, but the result is a very handy piece of clothing.
I blogged a wee tute here http://fiveandcounting-motherof5.blogspot.com.au/2015/02/hopscotch-with-bloomers.html if you would like a peep. 🙂
