Oh yes! Congrats Heidi on your win!

I bought some fabric to make the parachute pants and top for the baby today, along with something to make the playtime dress/ tunic with. I went looking for wool fabric to make the bistro dress for Imogen out of (it says lightweight wool right?) but of course I had no such luck!

I had a late start and of…[Read more]

I am going to put some veggies in the oven and stick together the Swing set pattern I chose as one of my two patterns For winning the parachute Polo contest.

Goodness, your conditions sound very similar to our area @sahmcolarado with our average rain about the same as yours (maybe a tad more). We usually have our “winter break” in May but 11mm isn’t a winter break at all! Now I know where all the rain has been falling.

And as it happens, on my second no sew day, the coastal town where I shop…[Read more]

I never knew you were supposed to cut off the extra! Why? So it doesn’t feel lumpy?

That is worth thinking about! Of course I don’t have any navy rugby knit in stock but might try it out with something else.

@sahmcolarado would you like to swap weather? I hear it is very wet over your way and here, when it should be wet (and I should be the one making rain ponchos) it is dry as anything (we have our fingers crossed for a big rain expected Wednesday). The rain poncho pdf sounds painful to put together. But I do hope it works out.

I would wonder about a rugby knit for the main and a woven for the facing Katy….

I am so glad you got to sew Masha. We are all thinking of you here.

I finished Zara’s shirt and it looks lovely on her. I fiddled around with the fit, taking it in at the high waist, letting it out over her bottom and taking some fullness from the sleeve.

Next up, a grey linen skort, Simplicity 1370.

I was planning to sew everyday this week but unfortunately my week has been planned out for me and I am less than impressed! It means I probably won’t get to sit at the machine for a decent length of time until Wednesday!

I didn’t get to sew today and it has suddenly turned cold!
I did however discover some patterns that would be handy from Jalie…[Read more]

Lovely, thank you Nicole.
I have made them for PE and don’t want them to be too restrictive.
I will try it!
