Here’s an old photo of Julia in her first year of pre-school….and a recent one in a lovely dress made by Sarvi!

My daughter too is in her last year at her current Montessori school and heading off to the big bad world of public schools in the fall!

I found this today when I was tidying (not O+S though)

Thank you Sarvi, the feeling is entirely mutual.

And just saw the photo of your cute girl — and great sewing!

Oh Jane, me too! The most striking ones for me are Jeanne’s daughter and Nicole’s son. From toddler/little boy to young lady/young gent!I have a special spot in my heart for ‘our’ kids. Lucky folks, who get to wear O+S from the beginning.

What a darling!
I love seeing ‘our’ babies grow.
Thank you Jane.

I have been thinking of you and your poor Mum, Jenny.

Masha, all the best!

There are lots of lovely new faces popping in everyday so I thought I would bump this thread up.

I had twins, happy to chat!

On a sewing level, Hopscotch dresses make the BEST baby gowns.

Typically a sleeveless pattern has a much higher armhole than a pattern with sleeves, so you’ll want to raise the armhole when you try this. You’ll probably also need to do a little work to eliminate gaping at the armhole, so I’d definitely recommend making a muslin if you’re going to try this.

Now there’s only 1 Oliver+S skirt pattern left for us to sew! This week we sewed up the Badminton Skort and Dress. Yep, another layering duo. We added sleeves to the dress, and we’d love to know what you think of them. And NOW it’s the last week to link up your own Oliver+S sewing creations and enter the Rafflecopter giveaway. Because we all…[Read more]

OOh new babies. That’s lovely and exciting. I hope everyone had a lovely mother’s day.

I don’t have time for much lately between work and hospital visits, but I am lurking on the blog and checking out discussions. 🙂
