@karen Thank you! I will have a look at that fox dress. Off into town today to see what I can find, ready made or fabric.
Regarding the Badminton Skort, I have always found it quite true to size. Mine is up on my blog now although I still haven’t had time to photograph it on her.

@KAREN yes I have both issue 18 and 84 and I actually used the Tiffany pattern to make a dress for a neibour’s daughter when she turned one year old (she is now turning 7) I was a subscriber so have most of them with only a couple of the early issues missing from the collection. I am making the size 6 months as she still fits this size and the…[Read more]

@KAREN I pulled the issue out and you know I went to their blog but forgot to enter it, thinking I should tell them but I forgot the issue number. I will send a note on to them. I spent much of yesterday afternoon trying to sort out the threads as it seems I don’t have the silk threads in the colours that the magazine has stated. So I will have to…[Read more]

@KAREN thankyou. His insurance is covering it and apparently he gets to go shopping in Paris! Thank goodness for insurance!

@dubhels2003 urgh! You poor thing and poor baby! Lots of calamine and pinetarsel, cuddles and rest. What a yucky unfortunate case to deal with!

So my nephew has started his overseas trip which will ultimately turn into a semester of University studies in Canada. He arrived in Paris yesterday I think but unfortunately, he lost his luggage at the airport AND his phone was stolen! Not a good start I think! We are just hoping he was wise and didn’t leave anything on the phone that would cost…[Read more]

I hope that zip behaved and came together sufficiently for you Sarvi!

Sounds like some lovely sister sewing going on. My own sister sews too and we have done this in the past but she lives five hours away from me now so we don’t get to do it anymore.

I’ve been all inspired to get the pleater out because I hopped onto the Frances suzanne blog!…[Read more]

Sarvi how did you go? Did you get the two made in one day?

@KAREN some of us are known to attempt some crazy things with our sewing, but never in my time on this forum can I remember Sarvi doing anything of the sort!

Wouldn’t it be great if we could just slip our sewing into some portal to get it to the destination quicker, then Sarvi wouldn’t…[Read more]

Did you have a look at Sarvi’s link @mcholley1? Aren’t they cute prints?! @Sarvi you have such good taste in fabric!

Is there anything in particular you little man likes on his shirts? I love a good check shirt and stripes (I made Noah a sketchbook shirt in Cape Ann stripe) are always good.

I do like fun prints so things that would appeal to his…[Read more]
