I’m not sure if the following fits into this thread but I wanted to tell the forum that all the things I made for the Maytime Fair sold well, and quickly, and were popular ie the stall manager would like some more of the same, next year. So my contribution raised $300; nearly 25% of the stall’s overall takings. Isn’t that cool? I’m told that the…[Read more]

We’ll see. Their are so many lovely royal girls’ names to choose from. The child was 8lbs 3oz – very sturdy.

Awww T, can’t wait to see that. I finished the Popover #8 last night, _ the one that didn’t make the post in time, and have spent most of day taking advantage of sunshine to chose fabrics for a variety of projects. Job done, but my feet are killing me, and the mess I was attempting to clean up is not much improved. But I think I’m ahead on points.…[Read more]

Really looking forward to hearing what names have been chosen; a good friend and I are punting for Alice, and/or Helena. I think that there is also a reasonable chance of ‘Margaret’ being included in the “string”. (This was the name of the current Queen’s sister, and only sibling, dear Republicans).

You are very welcome, Liesl. I meant every word!! And many I didn’t write. Thank you Enbee for your encouragement about sewing knits. My Janome has a walking foot which I use often; in fact I have re-discovered its usefulness in topstitching, and for attaching binding. (I used the WF almost all the time I was constructing the Popover Sundresses,…[Read more]

Sounds like you are making the most of a break on the work front, lattem. I look forward to seeing your Parachute shirt, and your Vintage pattern, Nicole.

I finished 7 Popover Sundresses today, and they are washed and ironed and ready to post to Melbourne tomorrow with an assortment of crafty things as a donation to the Maytime Fair in Kew. I’m…[Read more]

Liesl, Todd and all the hardworking persons associated with Oliver+S; just wanted to say that I really do like the new kids’ patterns. As I don’t really have the wherewithall for knit sewing, I will be purchasing both size-sets of the Butterfly Top, and skirt. I can see lots of potential for these items, and they look comfortable for kids.

Thank…[Read more]

I’m up to choosing the buttons for my first Hopscotch skirt, and have cut out two size 8 Rollerskate dresses. Say I’m you’s Garden Party dress has inspired me to try one for Miss 6 1/2 (recently finished the Lunch Box culottes, and a Badminton top for this child). Last December, I cut out a Hopscotch skirt for her but when I got it out last night,…[Read more]
