Yes!
(sob)

Oh no Sarvi, what a pain!
(And I can vouch for your excellent present giving skills)

My baby is growing too fast, I just lay her on my bed after changing her and she rolled over and pushed herself up on her hands, in a bulky cloth nappy!

My others have all been ‘late’ babies. Late to roll, crawl or walk. I really hope she is not the exception…..

Wow, @scgoble, that must be tough. I must admit I am not good at getting to bed. I rarely go to bed before 11pm and I am often up at 6am but I do grab a 10 minute Nana nap whenever I can.

I envy those that go to bed and fall asleep quickly, it takes me at least an hour.

Very Heath Robinson of me, but I would lay the Music Class front yoke over the Sleepover front. I would place tracing paper over that then re-draft the front with the centre front of then new pattern piece finishing the same width as the Sleepover.
Then I would re-draft the neck of the front facing to match the new neck line, but attach the…[Read more]

Oh my, so cute!

I would use the Music Class collar and the top yoke to make to front.
Trixie is crying but I will come back and explain further

Thank you!!!

I am almost out of time to sew
Pj’s for Christmas, doncha know?

PS Definitely not being silly, I agonise over details.

I am very fond of the detail being sewn on the pocket approximately 3/4 up from the bottom.
It makes more of a statement to me.

I have a Juki and it came with a manual, of sorts. I find that has all the information I really need to know but I must admit I probably don’t use all the features.
I tend to Google and then pinterest any links I need.
Sorry not to be more help.

You are so sweet Jane. I hope you get some more sleep soon.

I used a rigid rugby knit for Trixie’s jacket, it is very warm.

I will admit @vothgirl, I shopped and wrapped throughout the year as I didn’t know how easy Trixie would be. It has made for a very easy Christmas and I will do it again.

I have a lot of gifts to buy, think 50+ people, so I am always on the look out for lovely,practical things.

Books and Belgium chocolate featured heavily this year.

@meleliza, you are such an asset to this forum with your fitting know how!

Thanks Shelley!

I am with Sarvi on this one. I let my children use sharp knives, scissors, pins under supervision, from a young age. They learn how to handle them and are often better as they work better then blunt.
Otherwise, it sounds awesome.

My only suggestion is some pre-cut felt pieces so they can get stitching straight away.
How lovely, what a special…[Read more]

ps She didn’t really sleep well until Matilda moved in with her, they share a bed.
I think she was about 6 then. We co-sleep, like Sarvi.
