It’s sort of to take over from the ill fated music class shirt – which will be looked at and hopefully correctly completed soon. I made a pair of pink playtime leggings and the liberty pepler will go with it so there is another outfit sorted.

I don’t feel like sewing corduroy at the moment. The weather is just too hot! Everywhere else in…[Read more]

I have decided to try a hide and seek tunic from the liberty pepper. So I have cut one out, sort of, and intend on sewing it up by the end of the week.

I’m with @Inder–use it or trim and yokes and details and you’ll get lots of mileage out of it! But I love @with-love-heidi‘s list! Can’t wait to see it.

I think it’s a matter of personal preference, yes. I used this method for the instructions because it’s less fiddly. But if you prefer the single fold bias method that’s an easy change to make.

Did you see Liesl’s recent tutorial on the blog?

adding pockets to the parachute sweatpants (and the butterfly skirt)

Not sure this is exactly what you want, but it could be a starting point.

Oh my great big post didn’t post!

I know it is early days Masha, but I am thrilled there has been such progress made! It may be a long road or a short one but whatever the length I hope it is a successful one in that he regains much (preferrably all) movement, enough to be able to feel healed. It can’t be easy, but aren’t these glimmers such…[Read more]

Oh yes! @sahmcolarado I did! Thankfully they had put it aside for me. And because there is still 30% off all dress fabrics at Spotlight, I “splurged” and bought a metre of purple double velvet! I’ll make something special but what I am currently unsure.

Kerrilyn, the music class shirt was for the baby but I will make a note of the pattern you…[Read more]

Masha, I have been thinking of you constantly since you posted your news. I am so glad there has been improvement and that you seem to have a really awesome network of support. It is probably for the best that Niko is having formula some of the time.

Of course like Janice has said in her post above, the success rate of recovery from strokes is…[Read more]

I have finally finished my daughters vintage pattern trench coat. (Happy dance)
