Well we have just returned from hospital this morning after a delightful and relaxing six day stay.

The birth, by caesarean, was traumatic and painful! Very very different from the other two but it produced a very beautiful 8lb 10oz baby girl. Both of us are doing well now.

Her name? Chloe Jayne Elise. She is very different compared to my elder…[Read more]

Thank you @DawnRodriguez and @Sarvi, she wore the pants yesterday.

I do agree @beachmom and @Sarvi, too much it not always a good thing.
Unless it is Liberty or cheese.

@mim22, thank you.
We had a scary and vigilant few days but the weather has broken now. We had a huge fire last year and lost a lot of fences, crops and sheds so we had cleared a lot of trees and scrubby undergrowth in anticipation.
My sister, who lives in the Adelaide Hills, was evacuated but her home was not burnt.

I love sewing Liberty, I use…[Read more]

They are so cute.

@Heidi, one of my sisters has a cottage at Egg&Bacon Bay, I will try and fill her boot next time she is over.

It is perfect, my 4 month old still fits in them.

Happy New Year to all!

I hope everyone is safe and well.

My sewing goals for the New Year are to sew more thoughtfully (do we really need it)? and focus on finishing and fabric choices.

I also plan to downsize my stash. I am frequently given bags of fabric and patterns from ladies that no longer sew, which is lovely, but I think I need to cull…[Read more]

@EllenMCM, do you have the Jumprope dress pattern? I was making my son a shirt last year and I pulled out the Jumprope instructions to help me do the sleeve plackets.

Still sewing my cousins dress. Next up, the Field Trip cargoes and tee for Tildy. Then I will be cutting more swimmers, school uniforms or a shirt for my husband.

Not a huge polar fleece fan, it is not cold enough here, but I do use cotton un-brushed fleece a lot.
I do interface as per usual but as this will make one side more rigid then the other, I will use a thin strip of interfacing to stabilise the seam area of the other piece of fabric.

Always very happy to talk sewing, cooking and babies!

I am sorry not be more help, I am really just thinking out loud.
I must admit, I adore these pj’s too. I have made blouses from the top.
