Someone may have already suggested this but I would love a Moto type jacket for girls that might also work for boys.

Are you printing at “no scaling”/100%?

After carefully drawing diagrams to make sure I had orentation correct for the appliqué of my friends constom made caravan I’m including in the denim quilt, I forgot I needed to flip it over so when I ironed the fusible interfacing to the back it would be around the right way! Oh well, I’m off to have another go, this time I’ll add their car too.

Supposedly only happens once every 10 years. The last one was 2004. This is also the first time in 29 years that it snowed to sea level, snow on the beach! 🙂

I get a snow day! Once about every 10 years it snows to sea level in Tasmania. And today’s that day 🙂 Snow at my house! This is the first one I’ve experienced since I’ve been here so it’s pretty and cool 🙂
Beautiful to look at, school closed I get a sew day 🙂

I would really like a long sleeved dress that doesn’t feel too practical! I know there are several three quarter length sleeve dress patterns, and I could lengthen them, but I would really enjoy another long sleeved dress. Ideally something more ‘party-like’, like the garden party or fairy tale. I guess i’m thinking that sleeves will be the order…[Read more]

A tulle circle skirt is a genius idea as that gets around having to seam the tulle.
However, the Fairy Tale dress has a zipper that crosses the waist seam which would complicate things if you wanted the tulle on the outside. Maybe I’m being unambitious but I think an invisible zipper and layers of tulle will not go nicely together.

I’m enjoying the free motion embroidery I’m doing on my denim quilt. Lots of words and a few pictures. Yes, it’s very time consuming but also encouraging me to spend lots of time praying for my friends, who will be the recipient.

Maggie, so sorry about your break-in. Even though you didn’t lose anything terribly sentimental an event like that can leave you quite unsettled. My husband and I experienced a similar event (although all the thieves took was our television) 3 months before our first baby was born – we came home from work to find our front door kicked in. I felt…[Read more]

I guess so, Tamara. I still feel like I’m playing at it though.

I am working on an Arielle skirt (Tilly and the Buttons) for my sister using some yellow patterned Lisette twill from a few seasons ago. She had a birthday last month and because of all the “excitement” in our lives I didn’t give it much thought. I basted the skirt together and she came over yesterday to try it on. It was kind of fun having her…[Read more]
