We got a call yesterday to say we have a lease to sign for a house. Hooray! We need to get it checked by the embassy before we sign it, but hopefully we will sign it this evening and start the countdown before we move. We also need to find out where our shipment of stuff is – somewhere between here and Australia, but where?! 🙂

Sarvi- I’m having real trouble deciding. I was hoping to find dual voltage machines and take them home in three years, but none of the machines I like are dual… yet!
I’m currently looking at a juki tl2000 q, semi industrial high speed straight stitch, and a baby lock Laura overlocker. I’ll also need a machine for zigzag and buttonholes, but I…[Read more]

I have your lace to post (blush) I will whack some needles from Spotlight in there for you.

If it is any help, I didn’t cut my bias leg piece until I had sewed and gathered the legs, when I was checking.

I made another two Hopscotch’s, one more dress and a tee. I cut a Hopscotch skirt/Tea Party dress combo from some very soft linen/cotton fabric.

My Lisette Diplomat Tunic was the most viewed/favorited flickr photo for me. I’m pretty sure that was due to Explore. It’s such a dorky photo of me!lol My top 9 “interesting” photos on flickr are all Oliver + S (and 1 Lisette). The ruffle Class Picnic shorts and School Days raincoats are some of my personal favorites and they were #1 and #3…[Read more]

By adding a contrast pattern and fabric at the front I was able to make up the cardigan! It’s a winner I wore it all day yeaterday and it dresses up leggings very well 🙂

Oh Liesl, please please keep that promise. I have always wanted to tackle a blazer. Just with your instructions.

I bet there are a lot of existing projects on the tracks already, so I’ve found myself a nice comfy seat on the Blazer Train, now there’s a light at the end of the tunnel, to keep the metaphor consistent for once in my life.

This is great. My top four images are of Washi dresses, which are just all around hideous. I guess they’re not inherently that ugly but they looked like potato sacks on me and were donated to Goodwill long ago. My most “favorited” image is a pair of Puppet Show shorts in linen with a big bow on the waistband. I loved those little shorts so much,…[Read more]

@Cat75, get yourself a copy of the A-Z of Embroidery stitches. It will teach you pretty much everything you could ever want to know. The written instructions and pictures are brilliant. http://www.amazon.com/A-Z-Embroidery-Stitches-Sue-Gardner/dp/0957715986

The rest of the books in the series are really good.

The Ice Cream does sew up well in wool.

I made two more Hopscotch dresses for my baby girl today.

@vothgirl Now that is a great tip! I didn’t know you could do that. Thanks!

It seems my most view picture is the embroidery detail on the back pocket of my Small Fry Skinny Jeans, which is nice. I was quite proud of myself for managing that! 😉
