Vacation is three weeks away!
On white sandy beaches we will play!
In swimwear I’ve made,
From swanky lycra, fair trade

Oh, I’m supposed to start a new one aren’t I…

My sewing machine’s gathering dust…

This denim it just will not stretch
When I wear it I feel I must retch
So tight ’round my guts
I have back and front butts…
Luckily pink tracksuit Wednesdays are “fetch!”

Oops! Missed yours Nicole… sorry

This denim it just will not stretch
When I wear it I feel I must retch
So tight ’round my guts
Curse my love of beer nuts

I just want to sit down and sew!
But lately I’ve been on the go
‘Cause we’re building a house
And I just saw a mouse

(I wish the the last line was just for laughs… off to find the mousetraps)
Ooops, messed up my login!

What a great job you did on this dress!

@justsewit @roundtheworldgirl Thanks ladies for your sweet words 😀 yes the new skirts are stretchy waisted maternity skirts! Not sure if it’s going to be a boy or girl yet (most likely a boy!)… I’m about halfway through the pregnancy… and definitely needing some stretchy waists at this point! Masha, not sure about the nappies… the elastic…[Read more]

Looking forward to seeing all the holiday clothes!! I have loads of Christmas sewing planned… need to sew up the size 5’s that are about to be outgrown!! no idea how much I’ll get to though 🙂

It’s been so long since I’ve been on the forum, I’m having trouble working it out! So I have to join a group to be able to comment now?

I wanted to say a huge thanks to the lovely ladies who helped me with my topstitching problems over the weekend… I’ve got to go buy some more topstitching thread now I think I have mostly sorted my tension…[Read more]

Do they sell fabric online? I had no idea they sold anything online…

So I saw the lisette jersey on the clearance rack at spotlight over the weekend… I bought what was left on the bolt of the pink (clouds?), which rang up at $7 metre. Thought you girls might be interested, your spotlights might have them as well 🙂

I finally posted some pictures of the finished puppet show 🙂 Yah!

Yah for Nicole sorting you out 🙂 they are lovely lawns- although my spottie hasn’t been stocking them anymore… perhaps they’ll bring out some new ones again when spring hits!
Good luck with the clearance table girls! Hope it has some gems for you with 25% off the marked down price 🙂

Oh Sarvi!!! You legend. That is exactly what I was thinking of!! Thank you thank you for finding it. And big thanks to all you ladies for looking for me. I am so pleased I am not going mad (well maybe just a little mad 🙂
I am going to bookmark all those pages you ladies left for me. They are most useful. Thank you so much!

For the Aussie girls: I was in Spottie today picking up some buttons and I saw a bunch of lisette fabrics on the clearance rack and prints charming linens that were a further 25% off. Not sure how much all of them came down to, but I got a sales person to ring up a few and quite a lot came up at $4 metre (the linens)… which might be the same in…[Read more]
