@kgiff, I will get on to that for you.
It would be my pleasure.

It must be in the air!

My Twins have moved their desks to their bedroom so I have set up my cutting table in our sewing/children’s office.

Tildy and Liddy are quite happy to make and work on one end of that and as it is 31/2 metres long there is plenty of room.

The cowboy outfits reminds me of the illustrations in my nursery books, very retro and cute.
I adore vintage patterns too.

I know I mentioned it earlier but I have had huge success from eBay, to the degree I have more then I need.
I am debating purchasing a 5m for $25 now as I don’t need it straight away but it is such an excellent price for cotton/lycra (and this stuff is wide, 160cm+)

You could set up a search and browse when feeding.
I would be very happy to send…[Read more]

I had this conversation with my mother, I wanted her to remove a zipper from the side and put it in the back so my dress was easier to get on.
This resulted in a lecture on bad underwear and no patience. She refused to do it, said it would spoil the dress line and to give myself more time getting dressed.

If you watch some older movies, they…[Read more]

Mine only uses nutmeg Tamara. I will type up the recipe a bit later. It is very easy, just a bit of prepping.

Hurrah!

Kedgeree before and after

@vothgirl, I will email you my recipe, lots of cream and butter but very child friendly.
Don’t bother eating it, just stick it straight on your bum, that it where it will end up 😉

I only make it on special occasions.

Sweet potatoes, excellent!

Yum Ladies, I will try those.
What are yams? Like Potatoes?

I make Kedgeree for breakfast https://www.google.com.au/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=Kedgeree&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&gfe_rd=cr&ei=jdadVJCzHqqg8wefzIGQBA , I prep it the night before and cook it, then I just have to re-heat it in the oven in the morning. This years had 3 kg of smoked haddock…[Read more]

Janice, I LOVE my girl’s wearing other people’s sewing hand-me-downs. If no one closer claims it, I would love it and I will pay postage/combine with a fabric order from your shop.
Tildy loves Julia, she would be so excited to have it.

Trixie has so many hand sewn and knitted items from all her sewing Aunties. It is very very special.

I am almost out of time to sew
Pj’s for Christmas, doncha know?
A pair of bedtime
Would be completely sublime
So off to the stash I will go.

Merry Christmas to one and to all! (first line)

Christmas day over and I won’t have to cook for another two days at least!
I made some super yummy salads this year, all from Pinterest.

This one was a huge hit http://www.pinterest.com/pin/73676143879798228/ the mixture of sweet strawberries with sharp spinach was amazing.
This was tasty too http://www.pinterest.com/pin/73676143879794549/ a new…[Read more]

I hear you sewing sister…
Re-cut and sew pockets for a Ice Cream dress, after I attach them realise I cut the pockets from the border fabric and vice versa.

Decide not to underline neck yoke, assure myself it will be firm enough, end up up cutting a jigsawing soft interfacing through the openings to add substance.

Go with a size 2T length of a…[Read more]

Love the snow!
Merry Christmas to those that celebrate.
