I just got Jalie 3244 (footed onsie pattern)! I’m going to make my husband one, but it has to be an animal, so it will be a panther 🙂 But first I’m making a baby one to check out the construction order and pattern.

I will be binding necklines, sewing on buttons and lace and threading elastic today – hopefully! I was up for three hours tidying up the disaster zone that was the lounge area very early this morning due to insomnia.

It must be in the air!

My Twins have moved their desks to their bedroom so I have set up my cutting table in our sewing/children’s office.

Tildy and Liddy are quite happy to make and work on one end of that and as it is 31/2 metres long there is plenty of room.

The cowboy outfits reminds me of the illustrations in my nursery books, very retro and cute.
I adore vintage patterns too.

I know I mentioned it earlier but I have had huge success from eBay, to the degree I have more then I need.
I am debating purchasing a 5m for $25 now as I don’t need it straight away but it is such an excellent price for cotton/lycra (and this stuff is wide, 160cm+)

You could set up a search and browse when feeding.

I had this conversation with my mother, I wanted her to remove a zipper from the side and put it in the back so my dress was easier to get on.
This resulted in a lecture on bad underwear and no patience. She refused to do it, said it would spoil the dress line and to give myself more time getting dressed.

Mine only uses nutmeg Tamara. I will type up the recipe a bit later. It is very easy, just a bit of prepping.

I haven’t made anything for myself with a side zip but have had dresses with in the side. I found they were easier to get into if it wasn’t too fitted at the side but them my bodyshape is completely different.

I do love the design of this dress and I believe you could insert the zipper in the back without it altering the entire look. Using an…[Read more]

Nicole can you make kedgeree minus coriander? For some strange reason it seriously disagrees with me. But it does look tasty. Don’t you make it at Easter time also?

I will need to ask the mobile fishman if he has haddock on his list.

I love sweet potato! We tried growing it but they turned out inedible.

Kedgeree before and after

@vothgirl, I will email you my recipe, lots of cream and butter but very child friendly.
Don’t bother eating it, just stick it straight on your bum, that it where it will end up 😉

I only make it on special occasions.

Sweet potatoes, excellent!

Cybele, that is very exciting to move into your own space 🙂
I sewed up some Christmas bunting yesterday (Boxing Day). I got given a pre printed panel this year.
We’re in the process of swapping over the study and the spare room (where all the sewing stuff (fabric) )is stored. It will be a good opportunity to take stock of what I have!

Hard to believe this year’s at its last call.
Ribbons and papers…
