Three weeks into sewing Hugo’s peacoat and the end is in sight
I have a long sewing room so I put Trixie up one end and by the time she wriggles her way to me I have a bit done and move her back again

That said, I think it is time for the barricades to go up, she will be crawling soon I guess

My absolute pleasure Becky, I enjoy ironing
Making order from chaos in one small part of my life 🙂

I just put it over the end of the ironing board and keep turning it until I have pressed all the skirt.
Then a give it a good shake and fluff up the bubble

How exciting Denise (my twin ‘babies’ are 15)!

I can’t wait to be a Nana.

I don’t see it as ‘cheating’, just whatever method you prefer.
I can definitely see the ease in printing and cutting the paper pattern if you are only using that size once.

Good luck, I hope you come back and share what you learn.

I still draft mine off, I dislike working with the stiff paper. I find the glued sheets fold nicely and I store them in a ziplock bag.
The paper sheets are far nicer to trace then tissue.

How old is your daughter, by your description I am assuming a toddler? So she may only wear the garment for a short time?

Yes, up feeding Jay.
I just though of you, we just passed a beautifully restored 1950 Holden sedan on the highway

I found the wings in the dress up box Mel, they have elastic at the underarms elbow and wrist
I will take a piccie got you
I still think the penguin look the best

I finished the sketchbook shirt, 5 hours from drafting the pattern to completely finished
Considering Trixie has a cold ( and needed lots of cuddles) I was pretty happy with that
We are on our way to the party and it is a glorious day

Just popping in to say that if you already like digital you will love these ones
Rather then glueing together a huge sheet one pieces just the patterns pieces
It will make sense when you print

A big welcome to you!

I had a few ideas but I say’go with the penguins’

PS What a pain re the zipper foot Jay!
