Thankyou sweet Heidi!

I didn’t get to sew last night but did find some good maternity wear I had forgotten about so everyone is now sorted.

I cannot wait for tomorrow. When I can get back to the sewing machine and make happy things. I have the school days coat to complete plus a multitude of other things. The feet are a signal that I have to…[Read more]

@Inder I figure if I use a stretchy knit it should be useable and give me some leeway.
She is divinely chubby.
Thank you!

Brilliant, thanks Ladies.
I have some very stretchy soft cotton lycra I will make the prototype with.

The links were super helpful.

Oooh, that sounds so pretty. I sewed with faux shearling once, it wasn’t so bad. I shaved the seam allowance with a daisy shaver first.

@dubhels2003 You are a legend, every 1.5 hours, you are a Rock Star lady!
Beatrix has started screaming if I don’t feed her quick enough when she is ready to feed. I have to settle her, let her sleep for 20…[Read more]

I lived on Florida’s east coast growing up and all the shrimp boats put up lights on their rigging and decked out the whole thing in holiday decor. They sailed them down the river. It was so festive. Downtown was all decorated and as you looked down main street you could see the boats docked. They also decorated the water tower including a big…[Read more]

What a fun thread! @meleliza, I also love the Christmas in the city atmosphere, although I have yet to experience the cities you mentioned! During the years I lived in the Chicago area, we would often brave the wind chill and go down to Michigan Ave.
