@skirtfixation – the Swingset pattern is next up on my agenda as well!

I second @miss_sonja – I was actually going to ask for the same things – some well constructed girls undies (different styles), a tank, a camisole. I was even thinking about a slip to wear under very lightweight dresses rather than do a lining.

So, no wedding dress sewing yet. The wedding has no date, or location…just the participants so far! Both my daughter and her boyfriend are getting their careers together – unfortunately, these careers are happening about 90 miles away from each other. They know they want a fall wedding – hopefully, 2016! On a positive note, my daughter is…[Read more]

I have made these many times for my boy, they are a favorite of his! http://sewingforfour.blogspot.com/search/label/after%20school

Seconding Justine!! That would be amazing!

And I have been hankering after a woman’s trench pattern a la the Secret Agent 🙂

And here are the ones Peta made and that I totally copied being modeled:

I’ve made these for my boys – they make great boy pants. The rise is not an issue:

@Emily without talking about your son’s “down there” bits I can’t imagine a 3 year old boy needs any different crotch rise from a girl of the same age!
I made some here; https://www.flickr.com/photos/79480359@N03/8668350104/in/dateposted-public/ for my son when he was 4. No adjustments and they fit very well.

What a sweet surprise, Tamara. I woke up to a vase of tulips and a card from my husband on my bedside table. When I came downstairs the kids presented me with handmade cards. It is a busy day filled with commitments so I probably won’t get much sewing time until the evening. I told my husband he can give me a raincheck 🙂

Okay size 5 project people! This week I will be embarking on the Swingset Pattern. Who want to join me?

And now we’ve sewn 7! You can see the Hopscotch Skirt Pattern on our blog here. Let us just warn you, we got a little creative and changed up a few things. How did your hopscotch go @justsewit? Hopefully everyone took advantage of that Fat Quarter Shop discount code (hurry if you didn’t there’s only until May 11th!) and are armed with fabric…[Read more]

I am really looking forward to seeing that tee, Shelley!

I couldn’t sleep last night so I ran back downstairs to make myself a nursing sleep tank. That brings my count to two sleep bras, two nighties and a tank. I think I’m probably set for nursing sleepwear now …

Happy Mother’s Day! Just thinking about heading out to a quilt finishing day at the senior’s centre. The ladies like it when “young” people come, and they don’t mind that I sew other things. I’ll go for the morning.
