The sewing fairy whispered in my ear that people who’ve given birth are allowed to take more than a week off 🙂 The sewing machine won’t grow legs and walk off.

Thanks a lot Nicole! I love your blog!

@justsewit while my C-sections were not quite dramatic, I do know that I would not have survived my first without it, nor would he have.

I remember my complications with my second, hearing the doctor swear as she was ripping my scar tissue from bad healing with the first. Eventually I had a hysterectomy about 2 years after the last due to…[Read more]

Tamara, I am in Sydney and have ordered many times from Shaukat, their delivery is quite fast between 1-2 weeks. Ordered material from Rocywoods in USA, still waiting that was 12 weeks ago.

I was thinking of Book Report dress with plain pink on the bottom as Miss Fussy’s birthday is the end of February.

Congratulations on your beautiful new…[Read more]

I have a KAM snap press and normally use size 20 snaps. However for the back of clothing and the lullaby set I am seriously considering getting the size 16 snaps as well.

I have just found the Alice in wonderland fabric at shaukat.co.uk They have it in pink, light blue and yellow for 14.25 (english pounds) (my keyboard doesn’t have a pounds symbol). It’s under seasonal spring 2015 it anyone is interested.

Granddaughters birthday next month, so maybe a dress in that fabric and a matching book.

Which O & S dress…[Read more]

The placket for the Layette is not very wide, might want to check your snaps against it.

I use the metal snaps, so I am not sure how the size translates to the KAM snaps, but I use size 15 for the layette.

Ooh, I like those ideas too! Thank you! Decisions, decisions…

i love the giraffes too Linda!

Ooh I know what you mean! I’m a grown woman and I love some of the gorgeous children’s prints. I loved the one with the giraffes on as well. (Sorry can’t do links).

What about a full tiered skirt to go with the chambray shirt? I make these all the time, in fact wore a floor length one to a wedding today. I usually make them out of all one fabric. Here’s a tutorial for ones made from multiple fabrics, but it will give you the idea.…[Read more]

I’m putting my hand up for future testing from emailed 36″ files, now that I know my local print shop has a roll!

This year I am planning to sew a few things for my two year old daughter. It’s that cute age when everything she wears looks sweet! I also plan to sew something for myself for the very first time, would love to try the cinema dress. Have already sewn a baby quilt for a dear friend’s newborn. Apart from that I am delving into soap making this year.…[Read more]

My husband kindly gifted me some fabric from this line, out arrived yesterday. It will be kiddy wear and some for quilting. Totally banking on my siblings having kids to hand some of my makes on to!
