I am keen to see the LTTS cape in a quilted fabric.

Definitely vintage sewing patterns on eBay
I may speak from experience …..

Meleliza, if you want them separated also I will have the train loving son for a while – it may turn my house upside down but will keep my own boy entertained with some juvenile male company.

Nicole could have one and I the other and then we could swap – and have two farm stays far away in Australia!

Running away sounds like a great plan though!…[Read more]

It sounds as if they need a farm stay. 🙂

The puppet show dress with madeira app.ique hem is pretty much done. I just have to do the buttons andshe can wear it. I have a half made corduory puppet show on the table at the moment which I really wanted to finish for our city trip but won’t now. It can wait to be finished when we return.

Finished the jeans and they fit really well, I am so pleased.
I ended up taking 20cms from the leg and added a few cm’s to the waist but they look really good and he likes them.

Next up a KwikSew polo top and some knit shorts for Jed.
