@vothgirl, my knit version was a bit voluminous too, but it is awesome as a smart casual evening top.

Hallo Kerrilyn (waves furiously)

Wow, thank you, what a buzz!

I will admit I am completely won over by the O+S patterns and do wax lyrical but they are that good!

I am so glad you have joined.

I will do the first line for Spoony, I can IOU her 🙂

I am pretty sure it would not be deleted.
With the old flickr accounts only a certain amount of photos were visible if you were a free account customer, if you had a Pro account, all your photos were visible.

I find it useful to create albums of photos and categorise them to make it easier to find them in the future.

Perhaps try searching…[Read more]

pssst… if you complete it, you get to start the new one!! 😉

My sewing machine’s on the fritz
I want to smash it to bits
But I know if I do
There’ll be hell to pay too

That’s me right now – far too many projects I am trying to get done before Christmas and some of them are going to have to wait – including the LTTS puppet theatre I had planned for my toddler.

I printed it off and am checking off all the patterns I have (and the one I just picked up in the awesome holiday sale!) :-). I did notice that the forest path cape was labeled as the firefly jacket. But this is a great checklist, thanks Kim!

Basements really do cramp your sewing, don’t they? I can’t sew a seam and watch my kids. I can’t sew and chat. I can’t go, “oooh look honey, how good this is turning out.” (Although come to think of it, I get the same response to the empty basement that I do from my husband.– hahahah). Anti social, really. I do sew less in the basement.…[Read more]

There once was a quilter named Lizzy
But quilting was making her dizzy
So she looked for a dress
She could sew to impress
But the prints she had all were too busy

Getting back into the sewing groove finally, though it’s hard to force myself down into the basement to do so (no windows there). I just finished up the birthday princess dress marathon. Sadly, I have really grown to despise sewing princess dresses.

I have had a Playtime dress cut out for older DD for ages but it sits, unseen. Got 90 percent…[Read more]
