I like this one too, for the vest: http://www.moodfabrics.com/italian-red-off-white-herringbone-wool-suiting-fw11785.html

with maybe this for the trousers: http://www.moodfabrics.com/donna-karan-fire-engine-red-stretch-wool-suiting-fw11622.html

and the tie:…[Read more]

What are your boys like? More silly/playful? Or wanting to feel more grown up? In your cool climate I think a nice suiting weight wool would give a cozy feel.

How about something like that with some little wine-colored velvet buttons and a silk bow tie in a matching…[Read more]

I should think it would be a great way to use the bits up. Especially for little bottoms. I have heaps of scraps so the undies idea could be a way…. Christmas stocking stuffers😜.

I am almost done with the Garden party dress. This is the second one I’ve made and the instructions were so straight forward I’ve hardly needed them this time around.

Is it a good way to use up knit scraps? I might take a whack at it some time, just for fun.

Rachel, what else do you have on your plate? The Hide and Seek is a quick sew but yes, the hand embroidery can take a while. Do you have an elaborate plan? If the stitches are similar/repetitive I find it goes more quickly than something freeform.

Ock Du Spock, the Bubble dress is a quickie. In fact, now that I think about it, I might take a…[Read more]

@motherof5😀 You are most welcome.

@ock-du-spock does mean we can jump up and down and squeal with excitement and be absolute dags because there is another oliver and s forum little one on the way??

(For overseas readers in the sense “dag” means to act a little bit silly. It is Aussie slang).

So glad to help and that you got it…[Read more]

@juliamom2009 I love her response! Both for the sweet concern for her friends, and for how proud it must have made you feel!

I got our Hiccup (http://wm.schoolofdragons.com/SoD/Joomla/templates/schoolofdragons/images/DTV_cg_hiccup_03.png) costume done in time thanks to @maraya giving me great tips on which patterns to use, and then had to make…[Read more]

@with-love-heidi, what is your browser History? 😉
Too funny.

I am thinking shorts with singlet tops as pjs @etc3 does it each year so well.

I have never lengthened a skirt that much Charlene but I would consider adding length in two places. I would divide the the panel into thirds and add the length at these lines.
Does that make sense? So you don’t end up with too exaggerated an A-line.

It is a lovely skirt.

We don’t have costumes and we don’t have a party to go to this year (the youth centre put one on for the kids last year). The kids are throwing suggestions around and dh has just told them we are Not doing any of it.
