Oh no Sarvi, what a pain!
(And I can vouch for your excellent present giving skills)

My baby is growing too fast, I just lay her on my bed after changing her and she rolled over and pushed herself up on her hands, in a bulky cloth nappy!

My others have all been ‘late’ babies. Late to roll, crawl or walk. I really hope she is not the exception…..

Wow, @scgoble, that must be tough. I must admit I am not good at getting to bed. I rarely go to bed before 11pm and I am often up at 6am but I do grab a 10 minute Nana nap whenever I can.

I envy those that go to bed and fall asleep quickly, it takes me at least an hour.

I just wanted to jump in here and say that I’ve probably never slept through the night without being medicated. I’m just not a good sleeper. I didn’t sleep when I was a kid either; I was always worried about one thing or another. Fortunately for my parents I was also a very stoic child so I never got up and bothered them. 😉

Anywho, have you…[Read more]

Tamara, it will be handmade, hand smocked and one of a kind! I’m looking forward to seeing that jacket 🙂

I managed to work around my shortened shirring and it’s just fine 🙂 I’ve got one seam left to go on the bodice, and it’s looking fantastic!
I finally worked out how to get the look of the skirt I wanted and have it reasonably twirly.…[Read more]

Still going on the school days jacket … Despite finding two baby jackets already! This is special though – its handmade!

Best of luck Jane! Your little one is old enough to recognise numbers and learn to tell the basics of time. It will be a perfect strategy for you I am sure.

Just remember none of us are experts and we all row hard as parents. I have my fingers crossed this one will be the last strategy you will ever need to use in order to teach her to stay in…[Read more]

At least the majority of that list is Oliver and S!
I need to redo my shirred panel. I forgot to account for it shrinking in height as well as width 🙁 This time I’ll shirr the panel first, then cut it to length! Or maybe I’ll make it work.

I’ve gotten so that I really dread patterns not from the small group of ones with instructions I know I can trust. I’d rather alter (even significantly) a reliable pattern.

The clock is ticking on Christmas sewing over here too — sounds like many folks are in the same boat. I’ve got a set of handkerchiefs 100% finished. 2 Lullaby pants, a…[Read more]

And gracias for this one as well!

Awesome, thank you! Putting the words pyjamas and pajamas into this thread for future use!

Well my memory must be fading in my old age, the Bedtime Story also have a one-piece pant. Huh!

Elsa’s corronation Cape is done! It looks great.
I’m onto Hermione’s Ball Dress. I’ve redrawn the bodice from the Garden PartTy. I removed the front gathers, straightened the side seams and added 4″ so it hits where she wants it. I’ve cut the back to add a shirred panel to facilitate dressing and fit.
Now to change the sleeves into short bell…[Read more]
