@cybele727 its often the most painful when the relationship with school fractures or is damaged in someway, especially when you are a parent that is “on the front” so to speak. I did that too until this year. I stepped back mainly because of the baby but also because I’d had enough of the complaints from school about my kids and being hauled into…[Read more]

I live near Buffalo, NY. ( btw- it was 62 today- no snow!!- last year towns to the south of us got 7 feet in 10 hours. )

Generally I think a teacher putting make up on Kindergarteners is bad.

We also live in a super diverse area in every way you can imagine. Poverty to million dollar homes. Skin tone of every shade. 40 home languages. Name…[Read more]

Matching across the front and back crotch isn’t too hard, it’s the A line side seams that would be nasty to match.
I straightened the side seams to vertical for my Gaultier tartan pair.

Heidi you’re so blazing fast! Can I rub your sewing machine for good luck? I have only a Lunch Box outfit to get through but I am not feeling too sanguine about my chances of finishing in time for tomorrow.

Yay! Congratulations to Imogen on her acceptance, she must be SO excited! I hope that at the time at which orientation is done, information is received by her which is found by her to be both entertaining and utilitarian!

Thanks. We’re pretty sure she will be placed with the teacher my son had. In August when the list came out, she went to the principal and asked to have our daughter reassigned to her. She was an amazing teacher and she told the principal that this other teacher would be a disaster for us. Our principal has been apologizing since August for the…[Read more]

You are the parent and you know your child best. I completely understand the dilemma you are facing as I think it has been made obvious on this forum that my household has had its fair share of issues with our school.

I wish you a very calm and cooperative meeting with many positive things coming out of it on Friday. As for your daughter, we had…[Read more]

I’m in a stressful week. WeeGee’s Kindergarten teacher has been a bad fit. Our daughter adores her because the teacher makes school “fun”. I know the teacher adores our daughter, but it is a bad fit.

I have no problem with the fun. Kids should enjoy learning. But we’ve had incidents about the “fun”.

Since starting kinder, my daughter…[Read more]

The dress turned out fantastic and she looked very grown up – the Principal even commented on how pretty it was and her shoes! Alas I didn’t get to take a photo – hands full with a wriggly baby. Now it is covered in meatball sauce and needs a wash.

I think I will make it a tiny bit longer next time as she had issues when sitting (it rode up…[Read more]

I am so pleased it worked out @enbee

@with-love-heidiHeidi, I am *finally* about to tackle that pattern. I hope I can call on you if I need to.

I have been sewing for Trixie. A Playtime tunic&leggings, a Bubble dress+bloomers, a Puppet Show+ shorts, a 2+2 blouse and now a Sailboat top and trousers.

I love how quick and rewarding tiny clothes sewing is.

What are the rest of you…[Read more]
