We had no power yesterday for much of the day so sewing couldn’t be done. I did make a start on tracing some 6-12 month sized items ready to forge ahead on them before they are actually required. It will work well with a busy winter schedule.

I just finished a gorgeous bright blue courduroy and floral short Tea Party Playsuit for a friend’s baby girl due in a month. This is the fourth Tea Party item I’ve made this week.
I’m planning on moving onto the School Days Coat for the first time, in purple swirly courduroy, lined with fleece 🙂

There are threads all over my house
The silk fabric frayed from the blouse
But it’s twenty below
And going to snow

Woohoo! I ordered the new Lisette patterns from the Butterick website last week (when Meleliza said they had them on sale) and they turned up today! Very fast shipping! So excited!

Do you think Santa would lend me his sleigh?

It is lovely to hear you are settled.

Jay what happens if you have that much fun in the next three years that you won’t want to leave? So very glad things are falling into sync for you. Enjoy your machines when you get them. It seems the weather is perfect for sewing (and playing) so you’d be torn between what to do.

If anyone’s looking for the small size paper Swingset Tunic/Skirt, there’s one on Instagram for $6 shipped in the US – search #thegreatfabricdestash on Instagram (not my sale – just sharing!!)

Try Etsy, just look carefully at the size – I ordered some for Audrey’s coat and ended up using them for Harriet’s instead! They were tiny…
The ones I ended up with for Audrey’s were custom made out of Fymo, or something like that. Love her toggles 🙂

Hey all, I’m back! Moved, and nearly sewing!
We moved into our house a couple of weeks ago, but I’ve just been trying to get things unpacked and sorted since. I’m only just starting to feel like things are settling down.
Chris put up the fence on the top floor to divide my sewing area from the kids play area over the weekend, so my space is ready…[Read more]

When the thermometer dips below zero

A new year means new patterns for me.
Last year’s are all looking twee
I just have to buy more….
I’ll buy the whole store
Because prices just dropped, you will see!

(Sorry, couldn’t help myself. We just did a big price cut on all Named Patterns thanks to the favorable swing–for those of you in the US–in the USD-EUR exchange rate. Happy shopp…[Read more]

I finished the pants yesterday and have been working on the bodysuit – only sleeves, sides seams and the bottom part to go. Oh and poppers!

Next I aim to trace bigger sized patterns ready.
