Last time we were in Paris we stayed in an apartment on the Rue de Mulhouse near Rue Montorgueil. There were fabric houses up and down our street. Although I think most wee only open to wholesales, it might be possible to find a few to sell to an individual. I was drooling at the windows. There are many other fabric art boutiques in the…[Read more]

And congratulations on the trip! Paris is such a wonderful city, and it’s great to take some time for yourself. It’s very renewing. Have fun!

Unfortunately the last time I was in Paris it was before I did much sewing, but I can recommend that if you visit the Jardin des Plantes, head out through the back exit and have a cup of hot, sweet mint tea under the fig trees in the back patio of the Paris Mosque.…[Read more]

If you don’t want to go the vintage route (sizing issues, etc.) I second the comment about the School Photo Dress. People often call that the Jackie O. dress. A few easy modifications will get you exactly what you want.

Definitely vintage sewing patterns on eBay
I may speak from experience …..

Meleliza, if you want them separated also I will have the train loving son for a while – it may turn my house upside down but will keep my own boy entertained with some juvenile male company.

Nicole could have one and I the other and then we could swap – and have two farm stays far away in Australia!

Running away sounds like a great plan though!…[Read more]

It sounds as if they need a farm stay. 🙂

The puppet show dress with madeira app.ique hem is pretty much done. I just have to do the buttons andshe can wear it. I have a half made corduory puppet show on the table at the moment which I really wanted to finish for our city trip but won’t now. It can wait to be finished when we return.

Finished the jeans and they fit really well, I am so pleased.
I ended up taking 20cms from the leg and added a few cm’s to the waist but they look really good and he likes them.
Win!

Next up a KwikSew polo top and some knit shorts for Jed.

And then some exciting sewing, a hot pink linen Garden Party dress for a special OS, O+S sweet girl.

Yes @Todd Gibson, my phone is on a different provider.
I am not sure about the http thingy, I shall ask Hugo!

Awesome!

@lilypadmontana, my pleasure. Sarvi & Colette sent me some divine hailspot muslin and I made one for Trixie. She is still wearing the blouse and bottoms but grew out of the bodysuit very quickly.
It was fine over a disposable for a bit longer. I actually gave it away in a sewing store. The owner was raving about Beatrix’s outfit and she promptly…[Read more]

Great ideas Kerrilyn, lots of food, sleep and exercise works for my only boy. He had broken two (yes two) very expensive European irons throwing his footy in the house.

I am very glad to live on a farm, he was encouraged to start hiking and camping from a very young age 🙂

Masha did a few of these. I think she bound the arm so the binding was inclosed (all on the inside).
