@justsewit, in regard to pockets with a ‘V’, I don’t 🙂
But thank you!

Nicole I literally don’t know how you do it! But I am glad the second lot of pockets turned out for you.

Oh yes coffee can be a lifesaver! At the moment the pets are training me not to sleep – four times last night!
I generally sleep well and get to sleep fairly fast but living with a husband who likes noise all the time, it can be draining when you wake in the middle of the night to an infomercial or the big bang theory on repeat! I dont feel rested…[Read more]

I often leave the darts out of the front of my skirts and trousers as I have a round tummy.

Thanks Ladies!
I will have a play after Christmas.
I pretty much live in linen tunics but I don’t like ‘tent-like’ tops. Too dangerous cooking if nothing else.
I liked the way it gave fullness from the bust down.

Oh no Sarvi, what a pain!
(And I can vouch for your excellent present giving skills)

My baby is growing too fast, I just lay her on my bed after changing her and she rolled over and pushed herself up on her hands, in a bulky cloth nappy!

Wow, @scgoble, that must be tough. I must admit I am not good at getting to bed. I rarely go to bed before 11pm and I am often up at 6am but I do grab a 10 minute Nana nap whenever I can.

I envy those that go to bed and fall asleep quickly, it takes me at least an hour.

Its coming togethr nicely Heidi. Tomorrow I will work to complete it – just hoping I have enough buttons.

Best of luck Jane! Your little one is old enough to recognise numbers and learn to tell the basics of time. It will be a perfect strategy for you I am sure.

Just remember none of us are experts and we all row hard as parents. I have my fingers crossed this one will be the last strategy you will ever need to use in order to teach her to stay in…[Read more]

Very Heath Robinson of me, but I would lay the Music Class front yoke over the Sleepover front. I would place tracing paper over that then re-draft the front with the centre front of then new pattern piece finishing the same width as the Sleepover.
Then I would re-draft the neck of the front facing to match the new neck line, but attach the…[Read more]

Oh my, so cute!

I would use the Music Class collar and the top yoke to make to front.
Trixie is crying but I will come back and explain further

I am almost out of time to sew
Pj’s for Christmas, doncha know?
A pair of bedtime
Would be completely sublime

I worked on the school days jacket yesterday. I decided I should have done it earlier but time has been taken away with appoitnments. I want keep plodding away at it today.
