Sarvi, you are going to love your serger once you get going with it! It will speed up your sewing because it finished seam allowances soooo much more quickly than the sewing machine. And of course that’s just the tip of the iceberg…

This is great, Maggie! Would you have any interest in contributing a blog post about this idea? I think it would be really useful to other readers.

I am working madly to finish DD1’s Barbie house before Wednesday. Not a lot of sewing involved in that, but I did sew curtains for it yesterday (to string up on teeny curtain rods, so cute!). Once that is done I really need to finish the Playtime dress I cut out for her, oh, three months ago, before summer when it is too hot to wear it. All I…[Read more]

Yep, these are the knits. 3 colourways of the floral, the crosses, and the scallops/stripes, and two colourways of the random dots and the circles.

@Heidi, one of my sisters has a cottage at Egg&Bacon Bay, I will try and fill her boot next time she is over.

It is perfect, my 4 month old still fits in them.
