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]

What beautiful photos! Prince George is just a stunning little fellow isn’t he? And little Princess Charlotte is just so delightful!

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.
