LOL I feel like I am waiting for one of my grands to be born. Justsewit 22 days and counting and not in hospital, Praise God. Blood grand not until May. Hope it is also a girl. I am giving myself the layette pattern for Christmas. I will be borrowing ideas from you and Nicole for this new little.

Clever!

I do a lot of darning by using a small piece of soft interfacing ironed to the back, over the hole, and then I hand sew it with a matching thread making sure not to pull it too tight. A good press afterwards flattens things down.

Often it will just look like a slub in the fabric.

OOOH I got usurped! 🙂

The holiday season draws near
Hm, what to make for those I hold dear?
Jammies or dresses?

Ha! Thank you McStitch, pretty sure any yummy treats would not survive my sewing room in sufficient numbers to be presented as a gift.

I’ll have a peek at the Amy Butler also, thank you Robin!

Oooh, rotary blades are so super sharp, please do be very careful. I just use a seam ripper for everything. It’s a bit slower than ripping out an ordinary seam as there’s more thread, but it’s still just thread loops so the concept is the same. Have you got one of these things?

You’d never believe it, I swear
But I’m sewing a bikini to wear
To swim at the pool
But I’m nobodies fool…

Thankyou ladies! This one will have mummy made things from day one.

I did the buttonholes and the buttons on the little white bubble this morning before the usual Saturday run around (and I was treated to lunch by the hubby as a belated birthday and a thanks to our worker for helping this harvest which incidentally has quite completed for us). So…[Read more]

Ooh. We might need the keymaster to officiate. The time gives it to Cybele but mine appeared first…. Weird space/time wormhole in the forum?!
Run with whichever you prefer, or both perhaps…

You’d never believe it, I swear
The seams that I stitch never tear

You’d never believe it, I swear

I can’t wait to see the bubble dresses. This little one will be styling. What a blessed baby she will be. One day closer and out of the hospital.
I am working on a pair of jammies for little girl to wear for “Wear Pajamas to School Day”. They have pandas on them and she is excited.

Honeymadeit thankyou! There is a nice little collection happening but it isn’t quite done yet. I have five items to sew up and only six 0-3 month tags left!! I have ordered more so that I can add them onto garments that won’t get one straight away. It will help when sleep deprived and trying to dress a wee one.

Yesterday I got going on the latest…[Read more]
