I finished Sofia’s chocolate biscuit shirt in time for Picture Day and she said all her friends wanted to eat her up when she wore it.

I have ordered more pink twill to make a new pair of Field Trip pants for her. She loved the old pair so much (as did I) I decided to track down some of that pink twill. It won’t be here for a few more days so I…[Read more]

No, but seriously – the speed of a click is not something you can control – you either click or you don’t.

My guess is Flickr is having server issues and the photos where you can’t comment are on affected servers whereas pictures that work are on healthy servers. Give it a day or two and try again.

Yay! I’m glad you went for it, doesn’t it feel great to try something big?

Sorry to those of you waiting but it probably won’t be until next week. Once we hand things off to the printer we lose a lot of control of the timetable and this round things are taking longer than usual.

I’m thinking about halloween costumes! Last year we did Paddington Bear and the year before was a peacock.

This year 3 year old wants to be the lorax. I’m thinking this means orange leggings, orange hoodie with eyes and mustache attached, and truffula shaped bag for candy.

Her sister is going to reuse a hand me down elephant costume and be…[Read more]

OOOH I miss new babies and so glad I don’t have one.

Although in some respects they are easier than the older kids.

Enjoy your baby!!!

Wow. Everyone is so busy. I’m at a stand stil of sorts having broken my machine. I took it in yesterday and they said 2 weeks. I cut 4 hopscotch dresses last night from knits I got at Mood when I was there in August. So I will be ready.

But it’s ok because I have a trial on Friday. I’m not going to lie. I am anxious and nervous. But no lawyer…[Read more]

I saw them on instagram @katybellabug, so sweet!

I finished Jed’s jeans, super heavy denim but they should wear well. I used some scraps from his Liberty shirt to make the pocket bags and line the back yoke.

Next up, a muslin of the Lisette Attache peplum top for Elsa’s 16th birthday sew.

I haven’t sewn much of anything all summer so I decided to ease into it with a simple project of a Field Trip tee for Picture Day on Monday. I used a soft knit fabric with chocolate biscuits on it and she didn’t want to take it off after the first try-on. I had to convince her that knits need hemming too.

I also need to trace the size 10 Field…[Read more]
