I hope Murray is recovering @justsewit.

The school year has finished for us. We had our Presentation Night, Thursday night and it was a huge success.

Matilda was deliciously bouncy, dancing in her classes Beach Boy medley. Her neon Class Picnic set was just the job.

It is on it’s way to the USA!

I hope he recovers quickly Tamara.

I am sure the community will rally around you. When my husband nearly severed his hand with a chain saw we had a rota of community support, community organised. There was food, cut wood and offers of drives to to city (I am not a confident driver)
Country towns have great spirit.

That said, what a busy time of…[Read more]

I am pretty sure it is from the bottom hem only @gretam

I hope that helps.

I did four hours of ironing last night.
Slightly less enamoured of it at present.

We are heading into very hot weekend, 40d+.
Thank goodness for our swimming pool.

I get very nervous as we live on the edge of a National Park, bush fire risk is always there.

I have some very exciting news. My husband purchased me a van for Christmas.
I have been researching then for two years and I am so excited to have one.
It seats 12 adults…[Read more]

How kind of you Helena.

I finished Trixie’s turn of the sewing rota and I am getting stuck into Tildy’s.

I drafted off the School Bus tee, size 4 with the length of a 7.

What are you sewing now? 🙂

It is a size 10 but will fit a size 12.

A play dress up for grabs

It has been worn by two children but has no stains or tears. Yellow is not Tildy’s colour, it clashes with her hair.

Hi @kmac0107, you really don’t want it stretching as you sew, that will pucker the hood once the seam relaxes.

It is hard to advise without seeing the fabric, does it have a pile/nap?

@JWo ,I must confess, when I made these https://www.flickr.com/photos/motherof5/7738716408/in/album-72157626639099661/ I made them with the hand-down-in-mind for a boy.
I would absolutely put hem on a boy and definitely in a plain colour.

@JWo, @with-love-heidi has and they looked great.

That sounds challenging but in a good way Brenda.
I was reading and article recently that working on challenging projects may help prevent dementia. I cannot think of a nicer prevention.

I made some taslon Class Picnic shorts for Matilda’s end of year concert, last night (they are doing a Beach Boy medley) I had so much trouble with them and then…[Read more]
