We had good weather for travel, a dear friend took care of our children (the trip took longer than the 3 days allowed by the school), all but one of my cousins made the services, and, despite the reason behind all of us…[Read more]

@thejennigirl I’m really sorry to hear your news, I hope the trip goes as well as it can.

@justsewit Really pleased that the settling in is going well, that must be a great weight of your mind.

I have taken the epic step of leaving my job without another one to go to. This is the ‘first day of the rest of my life’ as my good friend says. Bit…[Read more]

I’ll be interested to hear your thoughts on the Tania culottes, I’ve been eyeing the pattern ever since they came out but I was so far out of the size range at the time that I didn’t even bother. Finally my waist is in the sizing, so it’s on my “thinking about” list.

That’s great to hear the positive feedback 🙂 Espically after struggling all summer to even get her to look at patterns.
I’m struggling with pattern fitting for myself. I’ve lost weight, which is great but now none of my TNT patterns fit! I’m trying to fit a pattern for bathers shorts and I am not finding it easy 🙁

I can’t answer your question I’m afraid, but I have just seen the top on your Flickr feed and it’s gorgeous. I love the ikat print.
