I am attempting to write this message as the baby is woofing down her zucchini slice and ripping off her bib in one synchronised movement (almost). Has anyone had any luck with keep the messy kid bib on a child of ten months? She seems to think it is not required yet gets a rash from the moisture that comes with eating.

I should think it would be a great way to use the bits up. Especially for little bottoms. I have heaps of scraps so the undies idea could be a way…. Christmas stocking stuffers😜.

I am almost done with the Garden party dress. This is the second one I’ve made and the instructions were so straight forward I’ve hardly needed them this time around.

@motherof5😀 You are most welcome.

@ock-du-spock does mean we can jump up and down and squeal with excitement and be absolute dags because there is another oliver and s forum little one on the way??

(For overseas readers in the sense “dag” means to act a little bit silly. It is Aussie slang).

So glad to help and that you got it…[Read more]

@with-love-heidi, what is your browser History? 😉
Too funny.

I am thinking shorts with singlet tops as pjs @etc3 does it each year so well.

I have never lengthened a skirt that much Charlene but I would consider adding length in two places. I would divide the the panel into thirds and add the length at these lines.
Does that make sense? So you don’t end up with too exaggerated an A-line.

It is a lovely skirt.

We don’t have costumes and we don’t have a party to go to this year (the youth centre put one on for the kids last year). The kids are throwing suggestions around and dh has just told them we are Not doing any of it.

As they were lining up, Julia was checking out the other costumes – she pulled me aside and said “Mom, I think all these people BOUGHT these…[Read more]

Link up party, maybe?

Hello Lovelies, so nice to read that people are sewing.

Tilly received a last minute 6th Birthday invite and the little girls mother asked me to sew something so nicely, I couldn’t say no. She requested something ‘Kardashian’ style and it took a wee bit of research (by the Twins) to find out that there is a children’s label.

Luckily, I had a…[Read more]
