    I feel strange posting about this but as I feel I have gotten to know many of you over the last years, here goes. My husband suffered a stroke yesterday morning. He is in the intensive care unit at the hospital and in critical condition. His left side is completely paralyzed. He is only 37 years old and we have no idea what happened. Our lives…[Read more]

    Baby Nicholas was born yesterday early in the morning! Labor was not easy (is it ever?) but luckily it was complication-free and everyone is doing well. I’m itching to start sewing clothes for myself but that will have to wait a week or so … for now I’m lying in bed with my new snook and being catered to 🙂

  • This Garden Party caught my eye a few weeks ago, and many others’, too, judging by the Flickr comments! It is so simple but perfect with the bias-cut accents.

    @Jane, I LOVE that Ice Cream dress on your daughter. So sweet.

    Three years ago: Sisters at 1.5 and 2.5 years in Ice Cream tops.

    Last summer: Nearly 4 and nearly 5 in mash-up flower girls dresses using Bubble and Music Box patterns.

    I made my oldest another Cosi swimsuit but something went wrong and it’s a bit too short in the torso. Tonight I plan to chop it in half and turn it into a two piece.

  • It’s not the most accurate approach to a Sleeping Beauty dress, but I made my youngest daughter one for Christmas when she was 2.5. I used a peasant dress pattern (indietutes, I think), and just eyeballed the pieces for the skirt overlay, and then draped the ruff in tulle. You can see bad photos here and here.

    So this baby is due in a week and a half. My husband has been on crutches for the last week with a presumed sprain. Today’s X-ray confirmed my suspicion that it is not just a sprain. He will find out for sure on Thursday but the specialist suspects he will need surgery to fix a bone that regrew improperly after an undiagnosed fracture sustained…[Read more]

    Made my son a pair of swim trunks using the Sunny Day shorts pattern yesterday. Tonight I will cut out another Cosi swimsuit for my oldest girl with plans to sew it up tomorrow.

  • I really love the Gallery Top – it reminds me of the Tova tunic which is a shape I love. I never made the Tova because my research indicates it doesn’t work well on large busts. I’m wondering how the Gallery will be for a large bust – I don’t see any darts – but I can’t make one for myself until after baby anyway and by then I’m sure there will…[Read more]

    What a sweet surprise, Tamara. I woke up to a vase of tulips and a card from my husband on my bedside table. When I came downstairs the kids presented me with handmade cards. It is a busy day filled with commitments so I probably won’t get much sewing time until the evening. I told my husband he can give me a raincheck 🙂

    I am really looking forward to seeing that tee, Shelley!

    I couldn’t sleep last night so I ran back downstairs to make myself a nursing sleep tank. That brings my count to two sleep bras, two nighties and a tank. I think I’m probably set for nursing sleepwear now …
