I decided on the 6 with 8 length. It is a bit big but she likes it except for one thing.

She is only in kinder mind you and she said sadly- but mommy what if a boy pulls the bow and they see my body.

Sigh. Feminist mommy says wear it and punch the lights out of anyone who touches your clothes and does that to you. Since it is her body and if…[Read more]

The season for sewing has changed
My skirts and I are estranged

Dear Jen,
so sorry that life is such hard work at present but I think you’ve chosen a great pattern to restore your mojo. I want to try the multipanel Swing Skirt even the weather here is too chilly, really. Just for the fun of putting some ‘half-yard’ pieces together to make a pretty combo. Amazing to think that your little girl is 6 and 1/2,…[Read more]

An Aussie Autumn with some new O + S patterns won’t be the same; however, our Spring should be fun when the new book comes out. Very much looking forward to it.

I can’t decide which is my size
Do I go by my waist or my thighs?
I could measure my head
Or my chest instead

You can think of the book that will be out in September as one gigantic, huge Oliver + S pattern. Or a large number of Oliver + S patterns.

But that’s all I’m saying for now….

There is rumoured to be a new book
The cover, it has a good look
But I just can’t decide
If I step up or hide
Perhaps a challenge to be undertook

Jenny, I get “rattled” watching what is happening in the US. And it’s hard to work in the industry you do.

Sew something pretty. Hug your kids.

So wish I could just pop by for a gab and some stitching. Hang in there.

Maybe make a size 5 with extra length? You can always cross tie the straps across the back like my friend did with the first one I made her daughter that was initially to big, she ended up wearing it for 3 years straight!

So I have been in an absolute FUNK. 🙁

This primary election business is getting to me because of all the vitriol and I can’t simply turn away because it is our future. (US) (That’s all I will say about politics here.)

And work has been icky. I’ve had to deal with more people who think that fists are an acceptable form of communication…[Read more]

I’m wearing a merino fleece Metro T right now! Have a look at http://www.thefabricstore.com.au the have an L.A. store so US shipping should be reasonable.
There’s an amazing outdoor fabric supplier in the UK that I’ve purchased from, and I keep finding one in Canada when I’m searching online, but I forget the name….

How do you like your concord Tamara? I love mine and have been wearing it weekly. I’ve already traced a hacked version with a Kwiksew 3915 runched v neck collar.
I just finished my first Alabama Chanin item, self drafted fingerless gloves. I enjoyed the process much more than I expected and my RSI didn’t play up 🙂 I’ve got fabric, blue and…[Read more]
