Nicole

Nicole’s ironing tips are golden, I love the one for the Birthday Party dress.

I still have the following patterns:

Ice Cream 5-12
Tea Party – 2t, 3t, 4 & 5
Music Box Jumper 5-12

Just message with interest. Thanks!

I’m due late May – just about nine weeks left. The time is just speeding by. I am impressed with your ability to sew post-baby, Tamara. I am expecting not to have any time to do so in the first few months at least!

Third-trimester insomnia has kicked in. I crept out of bed at 11:30 and spent an hour and a half sewing a teeny Geranium dress for my sister-in-law’s baby-girl-due-in-July. Unsure how I want to trim it, though, so I am heading back to bed. If anyone is around, feel free to take a peek and give me a suggestion! Three photos, set starts here:…[Read more]

Wow! I’ve received a lot of messages! I will respond in the order received, and update the original post this evening. My husband took the day off work and whisked me away to go antique shopping, so I can’t update at the moment.

For those asking, I have the frock and wanderings coat patterns from sugar city, uncut.

Thanks ladies!

I assume double-faced gauze is the same as double gauze, but as I’ve never bought one of the fabrics labeled the latter I can’t confirm. The trouble with it is that although it’s not knit, its loose weave and the fact that it is two layers of fabric tacked together here and there, make it unrelentingly shifty under the presser foot. I should…[Read more]

In general I have found O+S patterns to be a tad bigger than ready-to-wear. The only Sunny Day Shorts I have made were in a size 2T and that was the case there. I don’t think they are so much bigger that you have to make a size up, though. Just a little roomier. The key would be the waist measurement for the elastic, and since you have those I…[Read more]

Thank you for extra info/comments about this pattern. Hopefully will get opp to try this pattern this year. So interesting to see how much Tildy has grown, Nicole since the photo of her in coral pants/top c/o After School.

I’ve been a long time away from sewing for kids – about as long as Adelaide has been without rain 🙁 but I began a pair of the Lunchbox culottes yesterday. Size 4 in cotton poplin. This is my first attempt of this pattern, and I’m pleased with it so far. I particularly like the design of the inseam pockets – the skirt to pocket seams are well…[Read more]

If you have the Village Frock I am definitely interested! Possibly in Bedtime Story and Ice Cream too depending on size.

probably not the whole table, well not yet 🙂 , at the moment I’m hoping to make the first 20 elements as this is what the year 8 and 9 students need to learn.
I even got to use them yesterday with a student 🙂
