    @cybele727 she is the best thing since sliced bread and more! She’s on my hip pretty much all the time so we get to do lots of things one handed together. Except helping with drafting sheep for shearing – she’s in the carrier then and really I need to employ it alot more than I do. But with her crawling and big kids having no concept of putting…[Read more]

  • Sorry to those of you waiting but it probably won’t be until next week. Once we hand things off to the printer we lose a lot of control of the timetable and this round things are taking longer than usual.

    I’ve been attempting to sew buttons on the puppet show and family reunion dresses but it is slightly difficult with a baby getting into mischief. I have four buttons to do on the puppet show and then I am done.

    I am yet to alter patterns that are waiting for me on the dining table. Sleeptime is just around the corner so I will grab the chance then.

    I saw them on instagram @katybellabug, so sweet!

    I finished Jed’s jeans, super heavy denim but they should wear well. I used some scraps from his Liberty shirt to make the pocket bags and line the back yoke.

    Next up, a muslin of the Lisette Attache peplum top for Elsa’s 16th birthday sew.

    The birthday party dress is complete. Such a cute little dress and what a fabulous pattern! I can see many more of these being made.

    Photos are on their way!

    Now on to the task of measuring myself up for a shirt! But first a cuppa with hubby as it’s smoko time.

    Wow I think you’ve been busier than all of us combined @katybellabug. It is so lovely to hear from you again @lattemama.

    The buttonholes are stitched onto the family reunion and puppet show dresses but they are still waiting for buttons. I have commenced work on my very first birthday dress which is rather exciting. I am currently up to…[Read more]

    Just checking in, it’s been a while! Blame the holidays.

    You have all been so busy! I have been sewing but it has been a run of school uniform, which I am always enthusiastic to start but by the time I am doing my last buttonholes, I am flagging!
    I’ve still got to photograph everything, but I have done Lunchbox Culottes, Music Class Blouse,…[Read more]

  • Lisa, I think you latest fabric choices are perfect! It looks like a wonderful pattern. I’m interested to find out how you go with it as I have a feeling my own teen will be wanting one when our winter rolls around again.

  • That grey cord is yummy!
    Liesl recommended reversing the nap of the cord for a really lush look, I always do that now and it does look wonderful.

    I crazy love that lining fabric. If you are worried you will be too warm (which I doubt, in Canada brrr) you could line the sleeves with the silk stuff and use a cotton or lawn for the body or just the back?

  • Yes we are. The time will fly by if you make a monochrome item? Well that’s what I am doing while waiting anyway.

  • Tamara replied to the topic Flickr troubles? in the forum off topic 9 years ago

    That’s a good question Sarvi. I have no clue!

    I find it funny how it is just Flickr I seem to have issues with. I have slowed down the speed at which I type the message and then click (I pause between the two) if this is what you mean. It doesn’t make a difference. Some pictures I have success with while others I have to give up on. Its a…[Read more]
