Rice and coconut crêpes are a staple breakfast at my place. This is a super easy recipe that takes ten minutes to whip up. I think all the ingredients would be available at an Indian store.
In a blender process 1 cup rice flour, 3 heaped tablespoon grated coconut (fresh or frozen), 1 cup Luke warm water. Blend till really smooth. Add another 1/2…[Read more]

Ooh, those look great. I love her videos, she’s got this kind of funny, quirky way of talking about things.

I wasn’t sure what the difference was between the #8 and #9, looks like it’s length.
And oh, they are Japanese.

Kind of an amazing page, worth a look. I’ve never seen so much detail on needles before.

This was on my mind recently too. I thought there must be some kind of upgraded hand sewing needles. I found some at a Japanese fabric shop called Tulip brand (though I wonder whether they’re Korean as they had some specifically for pojagi, in addition to others).

Funny you mention that, Robin, I think that’s why there was a lot of interest in my Cinema dress. It was one of the first ones and I listed my measurements in a fair amount of detail. I think folks intended to be complimentary when they called me brave, but why wouldn’t I? I guess I don’t think people necessarily refrain from posting that info out…[Read more]

Joining flicker was a New Year’s resolution for me in 2011. And I kept checking to see if anyone had looked at my stuff. It took awhile. Joining groups helped, and a few pieces have been profiled on blogs. I’m not a photographer. My most viewed item is the playtime tunic and leggings, photo taken at night and indoors. And it really makes me…[Read more]

My Lisette Diplomat Tunic was the most viewed/favorited flickr photo for me. I’m pretty sure that was due to Explore. It’s such a dorky photo of me!lol My top 9 “interesting” photos on flickr are all Oliver + S (and 1 Lisette).

By adding a contrast pattern and fabric at the front I was able to make up the cardigan! It’s a winner I wore it all day yeaterday and it dresses up leggings very well 🙂

Bumping this one as I am having the same trouble, I can’t find the numbers anywhere on the 2t-5 sheet. Does anyone know where they are?

I will be making a Christmas stocking for Olivia this year – it didn’t hit me until November that this was her first Christmas, and by that point I just didn’t have the time to sew her one. Fortunately I had a spare stocking we could use and will make her one for her 2nd Christmas 😉 (I’m the “stocking lady” in my family – starting in high…[Read more]

I noticed after I opened a package of hand sewing needles, that I purchased at Joann’s, they are covered in something that looks like shiny metal but feels like plastic. I’m trying to find regular hand sewing needles. Can anyone suggest a brand name and where I can find these needles? They said at Joann’s that I can buy a pin cushion that will…[Read more]

Oh Liesl, please please keep that promise. I have always wanted to tackle a blazer. Just with your instructions.

I bet there are a lot of existing projects on the tracks already, so I’ve found myself a nice comfy seat on the Blazer Train, now there’s a light at the end of the tunnel, to keep the metaphor consistent for once in my life.

This is great. My top four images are of Washi dresses, which are just all around hideous. I guess they’re not inherently that ugly but they looked like potato sacks on me and were donated to Goodwill long ago. My most “favorited” image is a pair of Puppet Show shorts in linen with a big bow on the waistband. I loved those little shorts so much,…[Read more]
