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.

PS Definitely not being silly, I agonise over details.

I am very fond of the detail being sewn on the pocket approximately 3/4 up from the bottom.
It makes more of a statement to me.

It’s rough not having a good nights sleep…for both mom and kid! I hope the suggestions help, Jane. The Gro clock was going to be my piece of advice. It’s helped a lot of my friends with older kids (not baby/toddler) stay in bed.

You are so sweet Jane. I hope you get some more sleep soon.
