Thanks mim22 for your condolences. The funeral will be on Thursday and then we can get back to normal.

Jennigirl I would LOVE to renovate! The laundry first then a much needed update to the bathroom. My poor boy’s bedroom drastically needs a makeover and as for the nursery! Well I think a fresh coat of paint will make it worthy of growing into.…[Read more]

I’ve noticed something odd over the last few days – my own iPad loads the most up to date discussion page, but both my phone (iPhone 4S) and my husband’s work iPad load a page that is a few hours old – for example, right now on this thread, the last post from Karen was 4hrs and 10mins ago, whereas my phone is showing the same post as being 2hrs…[Read more]

Thought I’d get this thread going again, since my sewing is mainly fantasy sewing at the moment. No specific reason why either – I’ve only been working one day/week this term, so have some ‘free’ time that I have been missing. I just can’t seem to find my sew-jo though….

So, here’s what I am (fantasy) sewing:

Bravo Shelley

Thank you Becky, I am very blessed.

My sewing machine went off for service
Now the cinema dress is my purpose
Undaunted, I’ll make it
Top stitching? I’ll fake it!

I do, Liesl suggested it and it looks so lush.
I was always told the nap *must* run down but I adore the look the other way.
And as Tildy said when I made her this dress https://www.flickr.com/photos/motherof5/9047251334/in/pool-1729774@N23/ you must cuddle me upwards.

Nicole does this. I think is looks very plush.

Thank you, so helpful.
@stacibennett that is food for thought!

Last year I made two pairs of these, in pink and purple, for then 4 year old girl. I made them size 3 width with size 4 length which corresponded to her measurements then. They fit really well at the time.
Eighteen months later they still fit really well and are worn regularly. I added a 4″ growth cuff which we let down 2″ this winter. She…[Read more]

I am half way through a little lisette 1893 in size 16 (whaaat?). Fabric is a black embroidered voile chosen by miss Imogen herself. I hope to complete it tomorrow afternoon / evening. That will leave a solid day of sewing Wednesday to try and get something else made.

I might have to try and locate something for Noah rtw.

I just logged on for a peek
Like I do every other week

Hope you get some sewing done Tamara, if only for the sanity!
I finished up the layette jacket yesterday and this afternoon made some matching denim ‘jeans’. I upcycled a pair of jeans from my husband into the layette pants and used the left over Lisette fabric for the pockets. The matching set is gorgeous 🙂
