The holiday season draws near
Hm, what to make for those I hold dear?
Jammies or dresses?
The decision distresses

We have all done it, don’t feel bad xx

Will have all done it, don’t feel bad xx

E-wine to both of you!

With the May weather though you will be heading into Summer right? That will mean lots of little bloomer pants – cool comfortable and very simple to swap over. The layette pattern is truly and fantastic pattern – and it came at a very fortunate time.

Clever!

I do a lot of darning by using a small piece of soft interfacing ironed to the back, over the hole, and then I hand sew it with a matching thread making sure not to pull it too tight. A good press afterwards flattens things down.

Jaimielaura: I recently bought a Janome Coverpro 1000 CPX and love it. I’ve got several attachments to do elastic etc., but mostly only use it to do hems….which it does so professionally.
If you go to patternreview.com there is a section that reviews coverstitch machines so you can read what owners have to say.

Honeymadeit thankyou! There is a nice little collection happening but it isn’t quite done yet. I have five items to sew up and only six 0-3 month tags left!!
