Thanks mim22 for your condolences. The funeral will be on Thursday and then we can get back to normal.

Jennigirl I would LOVE to renovate! The laundry first then a much needed update to the bathroom. My poor boy’s bedroom drastically needs a makeover and as for the nursery! Well I think a fresh coat of paint will make it worthy of growing into.…[Read more]

Ok, a new one to start with. Relevant to what I’m sewing now:

I cut up an old skirt of mine

Bravo Shelley

My sewing machine went off for service
Now the cinema dress is my purpose
Undaunted, I’ll make it
Top stitching? I’ll fake it!
Just the pockets are making me nervous

Thank you Becky, I am very blessed.

I do, Liesl suggested it and it looks so lush.
I was always told the nap *must* run down but I adore the look the other way.
And as Tildy said when I made her this dress https://www.flickr.com/photos/motherof5/9047251334/in/pool-1729774@N23/ you must cuddle me upwards.

Thank you, so helpful.
@stacibennett that is food for thought!

My sewing machine went off for a service

I just logged on for a peek
Like I do every other week
There’s something to see

A new pattern that’s called Hide and Seek

I am half way through a little lisette 1893 in size 16 (whaaat?). Fabric is a black embroidered voile chosen by miss Imogen herself. I hope to complete it tomorrow afternoon / evening. That will leave a solid day of sewing Wednesday to try and get something else made.

I might have to try and locate something for Noah rtw.

Patricia, thank you, that is just what I was after.
So, you went with her height (+ extra) and that was plenty long enough? Her height, 3T, would have been perfect now?

I have had “personality clashes” with machines before! I feel your pain!

It sounds like your machine is suffering some sort of complex or disorder cybele. The sooner you get a “diagnosis” the better and then it can go to therapy and you can get sewing on something considered “sane” again. Yes! Take the deal and run, it seems like a good one.
