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 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]

I’m going to do some more embellishing of the denim Quilt today! 🙂

I would be tempted to make the tutu and then the fairy tale with a very short skirt as the peplum (ruffle on the bottom of the skirt).
Here’s a tutorial for making a tulle circle skirt.http://www.cottonandcurls.com/2014/01/very-simple-tulle-skirt-tutorial/
I would probably line the skirt as well to prevent any scratchyness or see throughness.

I have just about finished a blue linen every day skirt. I used the elastic for something else and only have enough for one row, so just need to get a bit more to finish the second row. I’m not entirely convinced it’s ‘me’, I need some time to myself in front of a mirror to try styling it etc.

Has anyone come across a fitted LINED pencil skirt…[Read more]

Maggie, I’m sorry to hear that. Nuts that they took the flannel as well as the more ‘normal’ items to steal. I hope you feel OK about it and it hasn’t been too traumatic.

I am going to go back up my pictures (and pdf patterns!!) now.

I’m really pleased your husband is making some progress, that’s great news.

8 Weeks and 4 update queries/complaints later it’s finally acknowledged that my fairly sizable Mood fabrics order is ‘lost in transit’. The previous order they sent me $90 of neoprene that was someone else’s order. Not very impressed and mostly frustrated that the boucle…[Read more]

I really like the tulle overlay skirt. Although the idea of a black and white polka dot dress sounds pretty good too 🙂

The coverstitch machine should be a lot of fun.
Tomorrow, I’m surprised there they have access to mobile phones! The last high school camp I went on in Feb all the mobile phone confiscated on the first day and only given back once a day 🙂
