    I thought it had to be sweet. I don’t know too many children that would like soda water.
    I used to read about it in Bobbsey Twins books.

  • Um, yes (blushes and looks bashful).
    Hugo picked it up an auction for me.
    It now holds sheep propaganda. Far less exciting.

  • I love ziplock bags.

    I laminate the front and back of my pattern package (or PDF print off) and then put them in a ziplock bag with all the tracings and instructions sheet in between them.
    This is a reasonable sturdy and protective option.

    I then pack them in a clear Ikea…[Read more]

    When you guys say ‘soda’ do you mean fizzy water you have with whiskey or a sweet fizzy drink?

    ‘Snap’ comes from the card game in our house. Don’t play with the Twins, they play dirty.

    ‘Nurse’ is another funny one. In AUS it means to hold a baby, not feed it.

    Finished my Liesl+Co Late Lunch tunic and it is drop dead gorgeous, even if I do say so myself.

    Just finished my Late Lunch tunic and I am literally bubbling over with excitement.
    I cannot remember the last time I made something for myself that I love this much!
    (Okay, the Portfolio but don’t rain on my parade)

    I made the size 8 with a DD FBA and it is fabulous.

    It is a super idea by Jenny, great minds and all that!

    Very annoyed and cross.
    The NBM chappie has just confirmed our signal is too poor for high speed internet.

    After posting, the thread appears to return to the first post. Is this happening to anyone else?

  • Nicole replied to the topic Cute things kids say or do in the forum off topic 11 years ago

    You girls read my mind, I thought a thread about sweet comments our children make (sewing or speeding related) could be fun.

    Matilda asked if my friend in England (the one who lives with Doctor Who) could make her another dress as she *really* knows how to sew a good dress.

    Um, thanks Tildy.

    *Disclaimer, it is a gorgeous dress…[Read more]

    Nipping outside to hang Trixie’s nappies then on with my Late Lunch tunic, if she stays asleep…… we can hope.

    There is nothing rude about a polite request. Our house rules are that you may change your mind up until it is cut out.

    I made a good start on my Late Lunch tunic last night. I am using a silvery sheen black linen, I hope it will be dressy enough for the Murphy family christmas party in two weeks time.

    On the cutting table…. a bolt of yummy…[Read more]
