Hi @hazel , I did a FBA on the Late Lunch tunic, there a some pics here http://fiveandcounting-motherof5.blogspot.com.au/2014/09/fba-all-way.html which may help you visualise the adjustment to the Cinema dress.

Sorry not to be more help.

Girlfriend, if we lived closer I would be shoving my kid into your hand-me-down stream practically by force and would be only too happy to hand down any of our goodies that appeal.

I’m not sure yet! still trying to find the time to finish it. Luckily the last day of term is tomorrow 🙂

With a possible free dress day at school on Friday, my eldest has requested a city stroll skirt to wear. So the aim today is to trace the pattern and possibly cut ready to sew. Looks like sewing for me is on the backburner again!

Did you have success at last with fitting the swimsuit @withloveHeidi?

Oh, that is wonderful, what a great look head to toe.

How fresh and pretty is this dress?https://www.flickr.com/photos/69987147@N02/21591211245/in/pool-oliverands/

I haven’t done much sewing The last couple of weeks. Today I’m having another go at getting a properly fitted pair of bathers!

I happily buy ‘good’ second hand shoes for my girls as they have generally been worn only lightly and the previous owner has not changed the foot bed of the shoe. I have also purchased second hand Saltwater sandals and let my girls wear them in the sea and then walk around until they are dry so they soften and shape to their foot.

Older shoes I…[Read more]

@katybellabug it is way too fast 🙁

I finished the Lisette Attache peplum top in neoprene (scuba knit) for Elsa.
It was a great fabric to sew but not fun to unpick, the stitches ‘sunk in’. I did make a calico muslin first and also did the petite adjustment and scooped out the neck…[Read more]

Good point! But how do you explain this? I click on a photo and comment. The photo is in the flickrpool for the group. I click after commenting and go back to the pool to look at other photos. The first photo has completely disappeared!

Its getting very wierd 😕

Maybe I need to encourage shoes of prey to do a children’s line also. They say they are going to branch in to the mens shoes but I think it would be more fun designing shoes for kids with interestingly fitting feet.

Oh yes my feet went wider after the children also – with each of them! Glad I never had more than three or there’d be me going…[Read more]

All I know is that I grew out of women’s sizes in “normal” shoe shops when I was 12! It was not fun and I had an awful time finding…[Read more]

😂 whoops I meant Monster!

Don’t I know that dilemma well @cybele727. We don’t even have kids shoes in a proper shoe shop near us! We have to go to Target 😱 and even then I don’t, simply because they don’t fit and I hate having to try on every pair of shoes in the department to try and find something that does! That’s why I’d be interested to know if they cater for wider…[Read more]

Does anyone know how these sandals hold up to being worn to the swimming pool?
I’m looking for something nicer than my fake crocs to wear, so I look more dressed up after my daily swim 🙂
