Nicole, I’m using the same pattern I used for the wedding cape and the same blue outer as I had just enough left over 🙂 My niece wore one of the practice ones I made for a week straight when she was with us in January and asked for one in blue for her birthday. This one is lined with a beautiful small floral vintage Viyella I picked up at the…[Read more]

Woohoo sarvi?

Hi tiddily hee, guilt free shopping for me!

@Ock Du Spock snap! I am sewing one too, but very industrial sewing, lots of topstitching 😉

@with love Heidi that divine wedding cape you sewed, swoon!

@roundtheworldgirl I am so excited about your baby. I just love seeing babies in the Flickr pool.

I have the sleeves to go on Beatrix’s Puppet Show dress. I made the size 6-12 months and it is…[Read more]

Oh yay! Glad it turned up!

Yay, you’re the best! I know I shouldn’t hoard but what you sent me, the whole ‘kit’ with the gorgeous buttons and trim, was just too wonderful to cut without a very carefully thought out plan.

My pleasure!
I only wish I could be more help.

See here

I am travelling to the city at present so should have a reasonable internet connection for a bit.

*From memory*, you sew to the dot, do the next step and then finish sewing that edge? I am sorry not to be more help. I am feeling so frustrated for you.

Okay, here?

Sarvi, I am on my way (and actually have internet, yippee)

I will have a look for you and get you some if they have any.

Yay, I got a post to load!

Fourth time lucky….

I tend to do my hand sewing as it eventuates. I used to have a lot of UFO’s and I am terrified of going back there.

I do have a DVD/TV combo in my sewing room though. At the moment I am working through Royal Pains when the children are running through and The Tudors when they are in bed 😉

I would say check girlcharlee.com. I have purchased some great stuff on their website. It’s always hard to buy fabric online since you don’t know what it’s going to feel like. I haven’t purchased any fleece from them, though. I think fabric.com does some samples if you have the time (or patience) to wait for fabric samples to come. I bought a…[Read more]

Top of the Lake sounds awesome. Sounds like my husband would like that one too!

I tried watching Game of Thrones but I think I like the book better (not to be clique hahaha but because I get a little scared of action-y graphic-y stuff and when reading books, it’s only as graphic as your mind lets it be). But Ed is super into Game of Thrones! The…[Read more]

I am sorry it is not more clear.
Looking back at my pictures, which step are you up to?

I remember this step being a bit fiddly but it helps you achieve a lovely under arm finish.
