Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 10 years agoNot for Easter, but I have been planning Beatrix’s outfit for her 11 month photo.
I have taken a portrait of each of my babies at 11 months of age, wearing a smocked outfit.
Beatrix was lucky enough to receive two smocked dresses from her honorary Nana in Canada and the little white dress will be perfect for the photo.
11 months is such a lovely…[Read more] -

We can hit the machines together @justsewit.
@lattemama, that sounds amazing. I did some screen printing at school and loved it. I still have my carved lino prints somewhere…. I was heavily influenced by Margaret Preston.

Nicole replied to the topic What are you sewing now? in the forum off topic 10 years ago
I understand where you are coming from MC. My husband has offered me his office and he will move to the children’s office/my sewing room but then I will be shut away and probably get less chance to sew.
I actually sewed today, so excited about that. It is two weeks since I had my surgery but it knocked me for six.
I made a linen Bandana bib for…[Read more] -

I love all of them and the dress is fantastic! I wonder how that will go for nursing? I am suspecting it would be easy to adapt.
They won’t be ready for Easter will they?

Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 10 years agoGood for you Meleliza! Actually, I have the Edwardian daygown I made for a Royal Agricultural show a few years ago handy should it be that time runs away from me. It’s actually longer than I thought it would be but so very very pretty.
But I really want to make Mignonette before she starts walking and running away from me! And then I can put it…[Read more]

Sometimes I really hate living in the bush! We have had no power since Monday night 9pm. The generator threw a wobbly when we tried to wash dishes (using the machine) and has been touchy ever since. One air conditioner going flat out and we are all sent to bed at 7.30 so we can have cool bedrooms!
Aching for the power to return so that I can do…[Read more]

Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 10 years agoGiggle! That’s the Aussie humour coming out! Both Susan and Gail are very talented and lovely people. Nothing worse than a cranky embroidery instructor – they definitely fall in the “happy” group.

Tamara replied to the topic Craftsy recommendation, anyone? in the forum off topic 10 years ago
I second Joi’s classes. They may be a little confusing to start with (if you are used to the other methods of altering patterns) but they will make a heap of sense when practise and apply the method to fit your body. I actually get better results now than before.

Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 10 years agoSome time ago, I had the honour of arranging accommodation and a venue for classes given by Gail Doane and Susan O’Connor. The duo were doing a sort of “Thelma and Louise” tour across North America in Gail’s suburban. Lucky me, they chose to put Toronto on their route.
I got to spend a whole week taking classes with Gail and what a wonderful…[Read more] -

Nicole started the topic Hopscotch Skirt with built in Bloomers in the forum oliver + s: hopscotch 10 years ago
I made Beartix a Hopscotch/Tea Party bloomers skirt. As I have stated previously, pattern making is not my thing, but the result is a very handy piece of clothing.
I blogged a wee tute here http://fiveandcounting-motherof5.blogspot.com.au/2015/02/hopscotch-with-bloomers.html if you would like a peep. 🙂
