The croquet dress is still in bits btw.

The weekend has a stint of tracing and cutting patterns included in the schedule, hopefully involving my teenage daughter (seeing as the patterns are for…[Read more]

Heidi isn’t it crazy how it “thinks” it knows better?!

Babies grow far, far too fast.
Their childhood I know will not last.
Some days might drag on
Sewing goals are not won
Before their babyhood is gone.

I’m so glad you agree! I will show here the two patterns (one I haven’t got yet) and she can decide.
