Yowie, T! A cyclone. Help! Really sorry to hear about M’s bike; that’s serious. Admire your cool to keep sewing throughout, and looking fwd to pic of Chloe in T party dress. I’m sure the rain is welcome, but I hope wind damage is minimal.

I just finished my first Hide and Seek dress. This has definatly been a slow to warm up pattern for me. But it jumped out when I was trying to work out what to make from some leopar print pinwale courduroy. With the addition of some black velvet, a hood, ears and a zip, I present the Hooded Leopard Hide and Seek…[Read more]

Glad there’s no damage so far, Tamara.
Yes, I’ll put up the photo of the Hide And Seek Dress with hood (and ears and front zip :).
I’ve moved onto making some More leggings for my niece for school. She has muscle weakness in her lower legs and falls down a lot. I made her 3 pairs of double Knee leggings last June from some poor quality stretch…[Read more]

That is completely adorable!

Washyvision – brilliant!

We were talking about the less fortunate – my daughter (4 and 5) were asking whether there were people who didn’t have beds, etc. My 4-year-old thought for awhile and then asked whether their aunt was poor. Her reasoning was that auntie must be poor as she lives in a very small basement apartment (with an exorbitant…[Read more]

Nesting re-kicked in a few weeks ago and I spent that time sewing up a cloth diaper stash for the newbie. As soon as my order for more folder elastic arrives, I can finish the last cover, which will complete my stash of 12 newborn fitted diapers, four PUL covers and six nb/small adjustable pocket diapers complete with hemp/microfiber inserts (for…[Read more]

I hope you are OK when the cyclone comes through and that it brings you rain!

I’ve lined the Secret Agent Trench in fleece which worked very well.

oh my goodness, so cute! the hat looks great and would be easier to put on than a headband.

I don’t want to add a slippery lining because she’s likely going to wear it over a t-shirt or short sleeved shirt so I don’t want anything that would feel “cool” to the touch. I thought if I underlined it, it would act more like a flannel jacket rather than a lined jacket so there would be less chance of the flannel getting caught on other…[Read more]

I just finished the leopard hide and seek dress. I enjoyed this much more than I expected, it comes together so well 🙂 I skipped all the top stitching this time as the combination of pinwale courduroy and velvet didn’t seem to want it. I love top stitching and can’t wait to sew one with oodles of top stitching. This pattern seems to call out for it 🙂

I was also thinking pinwheel, with the ruffle 🙂 What about Jumprope view B with matching yellow accents?
