Ellen, I aspire to do that one day. My husband keeps talking about my sewing him a suit (and I fail to contain my laughter every time he mentions it) but a shirt I could probably do. It just feels daunting!

In my quest to sew all the knits in my stash (where this came from, I have no idea), I have started making nursing loungewear. I found a sweet pattern on Etsy (https://www.etsy.com/listing/171370912/e-pattern-sweet-blossom-lingerie?ref=shop_home_active_1) that includes variations for a nursing sleep bra, camisole and gown. I made up the bra and…[Read more]

@motherof5 made this with long/longish sleeves on the grey dress with hot pink piping. I’m not sure how she lengthened it but maybe she’ll let us know 🙂

Even with the right fiber content, different knit qualities will feel and drape differently, so there’s no simple answer to this. Unfortunately. You really just have to feel them!

The new Swedish princesses got rather unusual names. Estelle was born 3 years ago to the Crown Princess and Leonore last year to princess Madeleine.
Leonore will become a big sister on June – I wonder what they pick for him/her.
Oh and June will also see another Royal wedding (the last one for a while now) when Prince Carl Philip weds miss Sofia…[Read more]
