Sarvi, love this! I love NPR. I’m pretty sure this was the exact story that my husband listened to that caused him to start buying jeans from companies where they make them themselves (right here in North Carolina, actually). And he makes me make his t-shirts and button downs. I’m not complaining to much 😉

Darcy Struble replied to the topic Ethical concerns in the forum off topic 9 years ago
I think about this a lot, actually. I live in the US, I grew up in Charleston, SC, lived in Florence, SC during college, spent the first 5 1/2-ish years after college in Greenville, SC (which used to be a huge textile area but has since died out. I did have some friends living there who were still in the textile industry) and we just moved to…[Read more]

I haven’t heard of Top of the Lake. What’s it about?
MASH is awesome! We were watching the one called Adam’s Ribs last night and They talked about ribs so much that we had to go out and buy ribs for dinner for tonight haha. They are in the oven now! And thanks @sarvi 🙂

Darcy Struble started the topic Favorite TV Show to watch while handsewing in the forum off topic 9 years ago
Does anyone else do this? I sew up a bunch of stuff until I get to a hand sewing part and then throw them in the hand sewing basket I keep next to the couch and when my husband and I watch an episode at night, I do all my blind hems, or button sewing, etc.
I thought it would be fun to share favorite TV shows 🙂 We don’t actually have cable tv,…[Read more]

I just saw this but I’m totally in! My daughter (almost 3) saw the butterfly pattern and just about lost it she wanted the skirt so bad so I’m letting her “help” me 😉

Darcy Struble replied to the topic Little Layette in the forum
Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 9 years agoOh yes! I love that idea too! This child is going to have a lot of outfits! Ok so this might sounds crazy but bare with me for a moment. What if I used the puppet show top and the tea party sunsuit bottom and modified them to mash together. It would have the collar, a line to add piping to the bodice and I could embroider the bodice with little…[Read more]

It could work. Have you given it a go yet? I’m interested to see if it would work or not.

Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 9 years agoI definitely agree with that. I love a tartan. That is so cute and both ideas are adorable! I will definitely be adding those to my sewing list for my future nephew! Look at how little they are!!

Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 9 years agoI do have the puppet show, @motherof5! Yes I’ll definitely try that! The hide and seek would be adorable too! What color do you think? I’m so inexperienced at sewing for boys! Give me baby girl and I’m golden but I’m still learning to get my creative juices flowing for little boy things! Hopefully this nephew will help things along 😉

Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 9 years agoI can’t help but think when I’m sewing the little layette (and I’m sewing it A LOT right now as almost all of my friends are having babies by the end of the summer) that it feels like a modern heirloom (contradiction, I know).
I’m making the bodysuit in a batiste which automatically makes it feel special and on certain ones I have been adding…[Read more]

Darcy Struble started the topic Vegetarian Lunch Options in the forum
Cooking and Baking 9 years agoSo I’ll start out by saying that we are not vegetarian but we don’t cook much meat in our house. We buy meat maybe once a month, maybe less. Although we do buy fish a little more than that. But anyway, we eat a plant based diet.
The hardest meal to go more vegetarian is lunch, what with sandwiches that are heavy in meat and such. So I thought…[Read more]

Cooking and Baking 9 years ago@roundtheworldgirl, what a bummer! My husband says the same thing happens to him with all melons, watermelon, cantaloupe, honeydew… He still eats a little in the summer though.
@motherof5, we are hoping to build a hot house (glass house) next spring. We just moved into a new house so inside projects are being done this year and outdoor…[Read more]

These are so cute!
I have a sewing one 🙂 I usually finish up sewing at night and then put the new garments outside her door and one morning she woke up and found them just outside her door and said “Mommy, the monsters made me clothes!”
That one cracked me up. It has now changed from monsters making it, to mermaids, to daddy. Oh well! One day…[Read more]

Darcy Struble replied to the topic Disney costumes for almost 3 year old? in the forum off topic 9 years ago
We are going in September to disney world! I don’t have tons of ideas for boys. I like the sailboat pattern for Mickey and you can make tons of disney shirts with the school bus. Or you could do a gaston costume out of the parachute polo pattern. The main part in red with a yellow collar and black pants (art museum maybe) any black pants really…[Read more]
