54mm at the house and still raining. No damage at the buildings but Murray has gone for a muddy bike ride to inspect what further fences and floodgates are down. Very windy but we still have power which I made the most of while Chloe was asleep and worked on hemming the tunic.

So today we have perfect sewing weather and we are going to make the…[Read more]

That is completely adorable!

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

Gosh! I think I need one handed typing lessons from the looks of the last post.

Making tracks with the tunic and also working on a matching bonnet. I like the brim folded back look on the purl soho bonnet.

I am hoping to get the majority done before this cyclone hits us (yes aparently it is coming this far south!) and then I could do any…[Read more]

Five hours sewing time into Hugo’s Thread Theory Goldstream peacoat and it is shaping up beautifully. http://threadtheory.ca/collections/store/products/goldstream

Another vote for the Roller Skate, in fact, I want to sew that one as well. 🙂

These are my favourite pj’s too!
(I find the cuffs easier on the Sleepover pj’s if I reverse the attachment )

I know it is sleeveless but it is simple, have you thought of the badminton dress at all? Otherwise I would go with the family reunion or the Carousel.

Are you able to get an invisible zipper foot for your machine Jay? I find they work better if you dont have a piping foot. Anotger thought, and I have done this in the past also, to stop the piping from bei g pushed away, is o baste it first.

How much fiddling do you want to do, and what is it that you like about the dress? At first glance the Carousel looks like a good bet.

Haha, I’m glad somebody gets my shoe obsession! These were my first pair of ‘good’ shoes, I got them 75% off at the post New Year’s Sale at Neiman Marcus and they still cost what felt like an arm and a leg. I still wear them, though! Got my money’s worth in the long run.
