Or what about an altered school photo dress??

Try vintage patterns on eBay. I adore sewing vintage butterick and simplicity. I go with chest size for sizing and remember they may be very short.

Congrats Nicole and Jed! What a lovely life you have made!

Yep…boy or girl I force my kids outside in that sort of situation.

Even if you don’t have much space…do you have room for a slack-line? We just ordered one…after the kids played on a friend’s last weekend. I’m hopeful it helps wear them out or at the very least keep them busy and out of the trees.

Good luck finding some peace!

Meleliza, if you want them separated also I will have the train loving son for a while – it may turn my house upside down but will keep my own boy entertained with some juvenile male company.

Nicole could have one and I the other and then we could swap – and have two farm stays far away in Australia!

Running away sounds like a great plan though!…[Read more]

It sounds as if they need a farm stay. 🙂

I taught two sections of lecture, one of lab, cooked dinner, and finished two pairs of shorts yesterday. I feel like a rockstar!! I love familiar o+s patterns. They take all the guesswork out of the equation! Next up two pairs of shorts for my boy…then I’ll have some wiggle room in the laundry rotation.

I too give both my kids dates. I try to sandwich them in with a scheduled activity. EG: Alex has dance at 4-5 and 7-8 on Friday evenings. Every couple of weeks from 5-7 we grab dinner and go to the book store or something to make a date of it. So I try to sneak in the date like that.

Sometimes at home, I will also tell one child (when there…[Read more]

I am in the US. I have to double load the O & S site too. But only on mobile devices, whether on cell or wifi. (iPad/iPhone).

My desk top loads ok, and both are wifi.

As to http or https, my address bar shows neither. There is no http displayed.

The puppet show dress with madeira app.ique hem is pretty much done. I just have to do the buttons andshe can wear it. I have a half made corduory puppet show on the table at the moment which I really wanted to finish for our city trip but won’t now. It can wait to be finished when we return.

Finished the jeans and they fit really well, I am so pleased.
I ended up taking 20cms from the leg and added a few cm’s to the waist but they look really good and he likes them.
Win!

Next up a KwikSew polo top and some knit shorts for Jed.

And then some exciting sewing, a hot pink linen Garden Party dress for a special OS, O+S sweet girl.

Yes @Todd Gibson, my phone is on a different provider.
I am not sure about the http thingy, I shall ask Hugo!

Awesome!

@lilypadmontana, my pleasure. Sarvi & Colette sent me some divine hailspot muslin and I made one for Trixie. She is still wearing the blouse and bottoms but grew out of the bodysuit very quickly.
It was fine over a disposable for a bit longer. I actually gave it away in a sewing store. The owner was raving about Beatrix’s outfit and she promptly…[Read more]
