I am up to handstitching the lining down on two of the three bubble dresses. I have cut another pair of lullaby layette pyjamas and plan to work on them tomorrow before returning to the third bubble.

Wow babies everywhere! This is wonderful! I am happy to report to all pending and new (and new again) mamas out there that the lullaby layette pattern rocks as pyjamas for a newbie also. I am yet to post the photos of my little one in her new ones but I am ecstatic to report that they worked a treat last night in keeping her warm and she only woke…[Read more]

We took feedback very seriously from the survey we asked people to complete last December. We’re making a few changes to our digital patterns for this spring as a result of feedback (one change is in the inclusion of A0 sheets), and we’ll be making a major enhancement to them starting with our next collection.

I have it on my list to do a series…[Read more]

Yes, digital patterns currently available are not sized to be printed on A0 paper–which, by the way, seems to be an Australian standard not used most other places.

Starting with our Spring 2015 patterns, though, we will be included A0 layouts for those of you Down Under.

Yes long sewing rooms do have that advantage don’t they?

Yesterday, I made a start on the three bubbles by sewing the skirt pieces together. I have two yet to press out the curvy sides and then I can sew the linings to the skirt of two of them because I haven’t yet cut a third.

I also have topstitching on the little Tea party dress bodice to do…[Read more]

Three weeks into sewing Hugo’s peacoat and the end is in sight
I have a long sewing room so I put Trixie up one end and by the time she wriggles her way to me I have a bit done and move her back again

That said, I think it is time for the barricades to go up, she will be crawling soon I guess

My absolute pleasure Becky, I enjoy ironing
Making order from chaos in one small part of my life 🙂

If it had the scallops I press those first

I just put it over the end of the ironing board and keep turning it until I have pressed all the skirt.
Then a give it a good shake and fluff up the bubble

Wow not long to go at all!

Yes I thought I would have no opportunity either for the first few months but she isn’t the trickiest baby I’ve had. We seem to have fallen into a little pattern where she will sleep long enough for me to do something. Of course it doesn’t always go to plan like yesterday where she spent some time in the swing while I…[Read more]
