Hope you get at least one set of pajamas done before she goes!
I made lovely green dresden plates. We set them out in a number of configurations. I only realised afterwards that my favourite configuration is very reminiscent of “The Very Hungry Catapiller”!

Dresdens are so much fun! Enjoy them Heidi.

I have cut out two B6296 in size 14 ready to sew. Running behind time and feeling slightly stressed about things.

I bought a dresden ruler today and I am making dresden plates in green for a new quilt 🙂

I’m all in favor of that, @ellenmcm!

Ok I made the second comino dress this morning (lisette knit) and it took a little over two hours to put together and was met with enthusiastic comment from both daughter and husband.

I am now trying to trace the size 14 of B6296 with really thick interfacing as the “paper”. It works fabulous as pattern pieces but is the devil to trace onto in…[Read more]

Looking forward to hearing your results.

@avivocasews Congratulations! When are you due?

There are two options that I can think of that would suit this pattern and would accomodate for the growing little person. I never actually made this one for maternity but have researched ways to extend the life of normal clothing through the maternity period for other items of clothing.

One way…[Read more]

I am just about ready to stitch the elastic casing down on the two everyday skirts made for Imogen – had to make a trip to Spotlight because the 1/2 inch elastic mysteriously disappeared at the last minute.

I am now trying to get the table clear so I can set the machines up to do this and then I can also get going on the lisette knit comino.…[Read more]

I had a lovely evening fitting a RTW top for a friend to wear to a wedding. It was very satisfying to take the dress from a sack to lovely and curve hugging. It was also fun to watch her daughter play with the scraps in my sewing area and hand sew a mini pillow. It was a very pleasant evening 🙂

@cybele727, I was thinking about you and the notcher last night. Notchers are a lot like hole punches: I think that if you tried to use them on fabric you would be sorely disappointed. They’re really intended as a pattern-making tool for notching the heavy cardstock that’s used in sample rooms. If you tried to use them on fabric I think they…[Read more]

@thejennigirl what a pip! It is as much as saying wearing a tent will make you look like a million bucks!

I still have the blue dress on the table waiting for me to sew it. I have only just returned home and during the (long) trip home, I tallied up the sewing items that need to be made before we go (again) in a week’s time. I don’t think I will…[Read more]
