My daughter drew me a picture of what she wanted and the Metro will fit the bill for what she wants. However, you could do the raglan and I actually (when I was looking for inspriation) looked at the carousel dress design lines to see how this would work. I am seeing cold shoulder tops that are fitted t shirts and also strappy tops…[Read more]

I am onto about my fifth muslin for the ginger jeans – finally caved on that pattern. I think I know what to adjust where in order to get them perfect. Then I can make a cone denim pair and a black pair. The black ones are intended as a show entry but, I think I have just discovered a case of hand foot and mouth disease…[Read more]

Your daughter looks excited, while your son looks a little less thrilled to leave summer behind. I’m totally on his side.

Wow, you can buy regulation fabric to do your own uniform sewing? That’s neat!

I’ll use the Purl Soho one then, and will make a cardboard pressing tool as well. I’m going to use cotton lawn for my first attempt. I’m hoping for the best!

Thank you!

@Reeni Yes, it will be Spring, but Brisbane will be quite warm already (one year we visited in August, and I didn’t take any short sleeve clothes… Silly me had to go shopping!)

My blog post re lining it gets a lot of hits.

I like @reeni idea of a multi size system too.

A shirt/blouse and a new shorts pattern would be super appreciated too.

I’m so bored of sewing navy pants and my seven and a half year old is fast outgrowing his current ones.
I’d love to give them a home and a new schoolyard!
Name your exchange….

Thanks for posting those recipes and instructions @reeni! I’m bookmarking for reference.

You have been so helpful

Just a few questions…. cake flour, is that Self Raising flour?
Do you have a good recipe for Swiss meringue icing? I could Google one but I love tried and true recipes.

Thank you again!

Do you mean attendance or weighing scales? I have kitchen scales and my 1960 Sunbeam mixer 🙂

I am waiting on my new stove (happy dance) and my existing free standing oven is being moved out to the shed as a warmer/hotplate. It is gas and quite large but the door seals have gone so not so good for baking.

I think I will copy/compliment yours. @liesl – I do see what you’re saying….it does make sense! I’ll have to look at the zipper size because that may be impacted. Counting down to school, and not one uniform piece nor backpack nor lunchbox has been made….hmmmm….

She’s pretty tall and as the youngest, quite grown up for her age.

@sarvi, that is such a truly excellent idea I don’t know why I hadn’t thought of it before! I am actually kicking myself in the behind right now. It would also help with the photos.
