I use the same ‘pin’ method as Shelley. And @lightningmcstitch – re notches – my mother taught me to always cut my notches out rather than in – much safer 🙂

We’re having a quiet weekend here – today (Good Friday) we’re taking the kids to the Royal Easter Show (Ag show) – but they are more excited by the idea of rides and show bags rather than seeing the animals etc ;-). We have dinner at my parents’ every Sunday, so nothing different there. Hoping to do lots of sewing over the weekend – and over the…[Read more]

Oh, everyone’s plans sound so nice! Don’t worry about the rain, I’m sure the bubbly will be it’s own kind of sunshine 🙂

Thanks for the idea about including some swim gear, that’ll work great for us!

@mcholley1 – ditto!

I’ve used this one multiple times and always LOVE it. It holds up great! It does, however, shrink a lot. It needs more than a single pre-wash.

A BOY pattern!!

That sounds lovely! Big California families really know how to make a day of it at the parks!

Because of the time of year…the easter bunny always brings a new set of swimmers for each kid in addition to some sort of little toys. And, the requisite candy of course.

We already had our spring break and unfortunately hubby and I had to…[Read more]

Wishing you peace in your heart, Jay. Loss of a peer is so difficult in its own way, and to lose a beloved friend is even harder.

It just goes to show that even online stores are run by humans!

I am knitting tonight – third time lucky!

In the sewing basket I have still got those shirts. I need to complete the easter bunny pj’s for Chloe and then I need to do a pretty puppet show dress NEED TO!

Then I will make something adult sized and nursing friendly.

That’s this week!…[Read more]

Oh Jay I’m so sorry for your loss! It is so very hard to see someone you love so much slip away due to such a horrible disease as cancer. Having seen my fil go from a fit man in his late 70’s to a frail old man looking 90 in just six months was enough. I completely understand the enormity of your grief having seen it first hand myself.

I’ve had a fabric.com order fail to arrive. They promptly reshipped it. Another had the wrong fabric in it. They quickly sent the correct fabric and let me keep the other stuff. I would count as one of the “did not complain” customers, but gee that’s a bad business model they’ve got going on.
@motherof5 that would be a great use of that wool.…[Read more]

Oh that is great news! There are little people popping up everywhere here at the moment so the baby boy born just this morning might actually get a special gift using the newest boy pattern!

Its a sad and stressful time for you right now Jenny and that means its all the more important to take some “me” time. Is there a way of setting up the machine to sew something small? Just to let your soul take a breath? Get the needle and thread out and handstitch something maybe?

It is just so important to take some time out. This is why we…[Read more]
