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

I am looking forward to sewing her twin’s Lisette Moto jacket. Far less fabric to negotiate.

Oh No! I’m so sorry that you all are having to deal with this, especially with a new baby at home. You, your husband, and the kids are in my thoughts and prayers. (((Hugs)))

Masha – I read this yesterday and just now got time to comment – I have been thinking of you all day. I’m sending love and positive thoughts as well.

We have a friend (Julia’s basketball coach) who was an NBA player who had a stroke in his 30’s. He’s fine now, but it (obviously) changed his life.

I wish I could get on a plane and come help…[Read more]

Sewing friends sure are the best
Better than all of the rest

I’m ready to throw this music class blouse in the bin! I am still trying to work out how on earth I have one cuff longer than the other. The topstitching needs to be unpicked. I just don’t like this shirt anymore!

I have to return to Spotlight in the morning because I came home with only half my purchases! The saleslady did a handover halfway…[Read more]

What beautiful photos! Prince George is just a stunning little fellow isn’t he? And little Princess Charlotte is just so delightful!
I am certain we will see some very classic styles coming to the forefront as she grows.

Masha, I am so sorry to hear your terrible news. I truly wish there was something I could do.

I hope you have some support.

Oh you poor darling! What a horrendously stressful and worrying time for you. You are top of the prayer list for me now Masha. Please make sure you rest and take care of you! I know that would probably be the last thing on your mind right now. Do you have family rallying around you in support?

I pray your husband’s condition improves.

Ok, I have to bite the bullet and sew big kid pants! There is NOTHING in the shop that remotely looks anywhere NEAR acceptable! Truly disappointing but, hey, I knew it would come around eventually.

So off to Spotlight I trotted and bought denim. Now I have to find a pattern to fit Noah as I have the Jalie to fit Imogen. I will compare Thread…[Read more]

My kid has got arms like an ape
There’s no way she’ll fit in this cape
I’ve lengthened and lengthened
Reinforced seams and strengthened
