Darling Jay! A move can be very overwhelming at the best of times. Hang in there. Soon you will be able to get the sewing things out and get going again. Just take the time to be in the moment with your friends and loved ones and I sincerely hope everything goes very well for the packing part so you and the girls can take off and fly to your…[Read more]

The Birthday Party facing is a clever ‘wrap around it self’ type facing so you would need to be aware of that.

Me too!

I even edge stitch the 2+2 skirt pleats.

I have just finished the hems of three lullaby layette shirts. Just have to apply poppers and then take photos.

Next is… Whatever I pick out of the tray. Probably some very cute looking linen layette pants.

If I get the date we want, it mean there will be four weeks to go.

It is lovely. You drafted the collar’s curves perfectly!

Just got home… Sorry the shorts aren’t behaving Heidi. I haven’t tried the colette patterns yet even though I have some – not the shorts though so sorry I am not of use there.

I’m thrilled! I popped into the new/ replacement craft shop in Geraldton and discovered they sell Rasant thread! That means I don’t have to get them from Perth! And they…[Read more]

I see your point on all things there cybele. There is no point in having Christmas shirts here because it is too jolly hot half the time to wear anything other than bathers and go under the sprinkler. The winter theme sounds much better as then it can last for three months not three days!

I am away from the sewing machine at the moment but when I…[Read more]

Hope you enjoy yourselves at the wedding Nicole and that Tildy makes a lovely last minute flowergirl (bit of a treat I shouldn’t wonder). As for the Bobby, better a bobby than a snake but then do snakes eat dog biscuits?

We have one hiding in the little shed outside the house gate at the moment. Our worker “Flo” found it when getting something…[Read more]

When I venture in the scary world (for me) of bag making, I use the cheap stiff iron on interfacing.
Shiny on one side, a bit furry on the other.

We are off to a wedding and Tildy is a lat minute flower girl.
My sister knew she would be needed last night but she only asked this morning as she knew I would sit up all night sewing something 😉

I would be hesitant to add too much length, i think it may spoil the elegant line.
Hugo is wearing his dress waistcoat today (in 43 d heat)! and I notice it is quite high at the back and not long at the front.

Yep! That’s what I would do. Surely you would only need to add one more on?
