I’m sewing a dress featuring madeira applique!

Try washing it in a wool wash and then air drying it.
I tend to wash linen in a wool/delicate wash product as it can help with the stiffness/scratchiness

I wish your trip home could be happier Jay.

We were meant to head to our beach cottage but we had farm issues to attend to, so we stayed home. I have not had to cook as I prepped all the meals already so I sewed up Jed’s shirt, made Trixie some hanky linen Puppet show shorts and drafted off the Jedediah trousers.
And ate too much cheese, way too…[Read more]

A paper Bubble dress in the bigger size, in Canada

Oh dear! Poor Sarvi!

If it makes you feel any better, I am being treated by an in the shower rendition of the sountrack to Frozen and thinking about the dress that Chloe should be wearing but isn’t because it is just a pattern laid out on fabric, half cut!

Its going to be an “it was meant to worn at Easter, Easter dress” which I can hopefully…[Read more]

@sarvi your Persian New Year in the park experience reminded me of one of my favorite Carl Sandburg poems from 1916.

They all shook their heads and gave me a smile as though I was…

I am so very sorry for your loss Jay and I think of you often Masha.

It just goes to show that even online stores are run by humans!

I am knitting tonight – third time lucky!

In the sewing basket I have still got those shirts. I need to complete the easter bunny pj’s for Chloe and then I need to do a pretty puppet show dress NEED TO!

Then I will make something adult sized and nursing friendly.

That’s this week!…[Read more]

Oh Jay I’m so sorry for your loss! It is so very hard to see someone you love so much slip away due to such a horrible disease as cancer. Having seen my fil go from a fit man in his late 70’s to a frail old man looking 90 in just six months was enough. I completely understand the enormity of your grief having seen it first hand myself.

Oh that is great news! There are little people popping up everywhere here at the moment so the baby boy born just this morning might actually get a special gift using the newest boy pattern!

Its a sad and stressful time for you right now Jenny and that means its all the more important to take some “me” time. Is there a way of setting up the machine to sew something small? Just to let your soul take a breath? Get the needle and thread out and handstitch something maybe?

It is just so important to take some time out. This is why we…[Read more]
