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!

Oh yes we are laughing here too! Only to keep from crying instead. Its just too warm for winter and just so ridiculous how I have to put the air conditioner on to get the temp to ideal.

I finished the pyjamas and she’s wearing them now. But they are a little big and I made the arms very long! They are cute though.

I hope to continue on with the…[Read more]

I’m having a laugh at the “below 18”, I don’t think we had one day this week where the maximum was 15 let alone 18 🙂 (temperature conversion for USA 18C=64.4F 15C=59F)
I’ve been working on the WIP box again today. I finished one pair of PJ pants, 3 shirred dolls skirts and one dress up cape. I also discovered the second box is at least half…[Read more]

I think I need to send the mending your way Heidi. I just hate mending! Probably because the things needing to be mended are work shirts with huge rips in them and generally are tossed in the rag bag.

I am happily plugging away at a nearly completed Kimono top to accompany the bottoms. Hopefully, the lamb will sleep long enough for me to finish…[Read more]

I’ve a few things in my mending pile, boys are so hard on their knees! I have one pair of synthetic trackies with holes where he’s managed to melt the fabric! It must have been some impressive slides on the floor 🙂
Nicole, I don’t mind mending if I’ve got good company to talk to while I do it 🙂
