@mama_knowles I look forward to seeing what you make and how you construct it.

@gailanncreates that’s a fantastic idea, I’m going to try it out, thank you!

Cute project! Stay cool and fresh, I’m sure she’ll be very happy in her new dress.

I could’ve sworn I’ve seen this, perhaps not for the Everyday Skirt, but I can’t recall where. If I remember, I’ll pop up a link for you. How about using this:

I think if you wanted it to be from fabric, you could add a seam allowance (maybe 1/4″) cut two…[Read more]

There are sequins all over the rug
Each one looks like a shiny blue bug
I could pick up each one
And it would be done

@mama_knowles, I hope you’re feeling better! When can you sew again? I can finally start exercising in three more days! (Although I might cheat a little bit and start early…) It’s no fun to be laid up, I know. Hang in there!

We decided to dedicate last week to potty training since the daycare was closed and we were home. When DD returned to daycare yesterday she was very proud to be wearing ‘big girl pants.’ However on her second trip of the day to the potty, she sighed as she sat down and said ‘ahhh, why am I using the potty all day?’ 🙂 Growing up is such hard work!

Ha! In New York, you can always tell it’s the end of the month because all the bad furniture has been left on the curb for pickup. You can find some treasures, but there’s always a risk of bedbugs, which have become a real problem.

We don’t start school in Spain until September 8, either. Suddenly, summer isn’t moving quite so quickly as it…[Read more]

Most schools in Ontario (Canada) go back after Labour Day on September 6th.

We call the Labour Day long weekend, “Bad Furniture Weekend” because that’s when the highways are full of parents driving their kids off to college towing some fairly horrid looking furniture for residence.

Out curiosity, when does school start in your neighborhood? I think some schools have started already, yes?

Thanks Todd, I actually was like… I wonder if they’ve already done this to newer patterns? Haha. I don’t mind and was thinking prospectively anyways.

What a good idea, H.

That’s great news, T. So pleased for you and family. Chloe will love the extra attention.

I’m not sure it’s intended for me.

Hi Kristen, I would be concerned about the sleeves. They are fairly narrow on this top. The combo that Audrey did looks great and would be a good sleeve solution.

@purplevann1 if you really only want to hem t-shirts then my suggestion is to get familiar with a twin needle and woolly nylon. It will be almost free compared to coverstitch, dead easy to change thread colour and saves having to store another machine.
Or buy yourself something shiny 🙂

What about the sailboat pants connected to the front and back centre panels of the seashore sundresss?
