Finished up my green vintage patterned blouse, the wienie dogs are down to a fit and mark where the button holes and buttons go. I added some hidden boning to the green blouse, along with a covered eyehook, wax thread loop, clever tacks, and an invisible hem. Oh! and I covered the buttons, and I’m so so so glad I went that route- the blouse looks…[Read more]

Yes I admit I like the vogue one best also.
Hope it helps. It can’t be easy knowing there is major surgery coming up. i hope everything goes very well and that your friend makes a full recovery.

Heidi isn’t it crazy how it “thinks” it knows better?!

I am just finishing off the hems of the three playdate dresses this morning. I had hoped to finish them yesterday but we had a storm that took our power so that put paid to that!

I am hoping to get started on a croquet dress I’ve had sitting there for a while. I lost the ribbon I bought for…[Read more]

Choosing something like lawn would be perfect as you want something that is a natural fibre so it won’t irritate the skin around where they operate. Hospitals tend to be warm year round also – I was told they keep a temp of around 25…[Read more]

I grew up with a John Deere mechanic dad and both sets of my grandparents were farmers. I can totally see Jed’s excitement over a price reduction like that!

I’m so glad you agree! I will show here the two patterns (one I haven’t got yet) and she can decide.

I am trying to pin sleeves onto the three playdate dresses all whilst having Chloë on my lap “passing” me the pins. I have to give her a job to do or my job doesn’t get done!

Tonight once she is in bed I can sit down and decide what to do the…[Read more]

@withloveHeidi may I send you my mending? I hate that kind of sewing!

So all three yokes have minipiping firmly attached and I have one pinned and ready to sew – all whilst texting to find out how the outdoor ed camp went.

I had a request to use the pink denim for a jacket – I can really see this as a moto and would use the Lisette pattern for…[Read more]

It looks like a wrap skirt to me. Sounds like an interesting sew. I will be looking forward to having a look, no doubt you will blog it?!@motherof5

Oh she wore pink on camp and the housemother commented they wouldn’t lose her because of it. I have my doubts as to it ever going away fully.

I have some hot pink stretch denim she is aching for me…[Read more]

Slowly does it I’m afraid @Nicole he is on “light duties” and we plan to start seeding the crop dry around Anzac and “plod” our way through.

The gator is the best thing since sliced bread – very economical and uses less fuel oer km than the motorbike – so my digging in of the no bike heels has paid off to great advantage – never liked bikes…[Read more]

There is not a lot of hand holding with this company though. My Twins love the style but I have to concentrate and do a lot of googling to figure things out.

Enjoy your daughter liking pink, that will likely fade out…[Read more]
