Is this the one you are referring to, @Deb ? I’m trying it with the link button {above} first, and then copy/pasting a second time in case the 1st doesn’t work….

I’ve never learned to love eggplant – maybe I should give it a try again.

I’m stuck on the quinoa. It’s so good, I’ve had it for lunch all last week and this week. I make a batch on Sunday night, divide it into 4 jars and top up with chicken, fish or beef. Perfect for lunch.

Oh my, girl…..you’ve probably sewn more with smocking than the two of us have combined!!! We LOVE AS&E, and have some of the magazines. We might be interested to take some off your hands :)…but would have to check our stash first! Thanks for the offer…

Loving this discussion – about heirloom techniques and technology!!! We hope to crosshatch without filler….but since we’ve yet to do it, that is yet to be determined.

@cybele27 EXCELLENT IDEA on the garden party for the preteen ladies!

@justsewit Way to include the guys AND girls! A pintuck down the side of a pair of trousers would look quite…[Read more]

@cybele727 …. can’t do the link or attachment either.
Maybe we should ask @FrancesSuzanne to do tips on heirloom sewing AND internet stuff. One of them is a graphic designer and can rock the web!

@Deb
I still can’t figure out how to insert a link or an attachment of correct size.

I am like magneto at times. I just approach it and it doesn’t work.

@cybele727
When I click either link or reply nothing happens.
I truly think the internet is part voodoo, part magic and for me, most of what I try to do is jinxed 🙂

Deb,
Maybe it is just me, but when I click on that link, I am told I don’t have access to that account. I think you posted a link that is for the author of a page, and since the blog id is a number, we can’t search for the blog…..

Dang… my last post entry was directed to Frances/Suzanne but the link didn’t appear. Ooops.

The hem tucks I was referring to are also called growth tucks. I use that method every chance and a tute is here:https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=5163707322010726966#editor/target=post;postID=5881343318468516870;onPublishedMenu=allposts;onClosedMenu=allposts;postNum=100;src=postname

As far as the the math for the Lullaby, hey, YOU asked…[Read more]

Tucks on the garden party dress. That bodice is perfect for that. Some awesome box pleats or narrow pintucks.

I think for the preteen girls it is a really flattering top because it can disguise new “growth” that they might not yet be comfortable with.

@Deb Yes, tucks on the lullaby layette would be super sweet!! Don’t you want to do the math for US?? @withloveheidi Growth tucks = GENIUS!!! Must remember that… @justsewit Sewing crosshatched tucks are in our near future :). We’ve not attempted these yet, so wish us luck!
