Need to join in this thread so will go find some photos of wee little munchkins that have grown big.

Pleased to meet you S!

Hallo Missy! 🙂

Well as luck would have it I have discovered that I attached the plackets the wrong way around – majoy unpicking effort later, everything is rectified. i still have two skinny plackets sitting there doing nothing but also a fat one has joined the pile too! One of the biggest ditziest moments of my sewing life!

Baby Nicholas was born yesterday early in the morning! Labor was not easy (is it ever?) but luckily it was complication-free and everyone is doing well.

This Garden Party caught my eye a few weeks ago, and many others’, too, judging by the Flickr comments! It is so simple but perfect with the bias-cut accents.

@Jane, I LOVE that Ice Cream dress on your daughter. So sweet.

Three years ago: Sisters at 1.5 and 2.5 years in Ice Cream tops.

Last summer: Nearly 4 and nearly 5 in mash-up flower girls dresses using Bubble and Music Box patterns.

I love Thread Theory Tiina.

Ok, I went back on my word and cut an apple picking dress anyway. I decided on the pink check winter twill for it – no one will believe me if I say “it” decided it had to be chosen! Anyway, I am looking forward to finishing it as I belive the fabric choice was perfect – screams classic little girl dress! I have only made this dress once before and…[Read more]

On doing some simple construction and getting a little sewing time in, I got started on a tiny apple picking dress. The big problem is that I keep for some unknown reason sewing the skinny placket backwards so the folded edge is the wrong way! I have two skinny plackets, both backward!
