I just logged on for a peek
Like I do every other week
There’s something to see
So excited, I’ll pee

(Sorry– clearly I hang too much with the kids.)

(And now I suddenly want some tacos! :-P)

If you think sewing is fun
Then you must make a quick run
For a pizza or tacos
Or maybe some nachos…
It’s a wonder I don’t weigh a ton!

Next (I hope this is any good, was thinking of the new pattern releases we were all anticipating!):

This project reaffirmed my love for handmade clothing, especially the aspect of being able to customize a pattern to fit non-average-sized bodies! RTW pants are difficult for Ellie bc her waist and height fall into very different “typical” age categories. I love being able to make clothes that fit well and look great! So different to the…[Read more]

if I would’ve gone with her height, yes I would’ve made a size 3T and they would have been the perfect length. However, she’s so slim that even the 2T is plenty wide, especially since I didn’t cinch the waist elastic really snug. I was concerned that a 3T would be too baggy on her so that’s why I made the 2T with extra length. I think these will…[Read more]

I just finished a size 2T yesterday! Ellie’s measurements are pretty similar: waist 12-18m or 18-24m, hips 18-24m, height 3T+. I made the 2T and just added length to the bottom panels. If I wanted them to fit perfectly right now, I would’ve only added about an inch (I added 3″). I made the elastic in the waist a bit loose too, it won’t fall down…[Read more]

Ha! Cute!

Last night in the car, my 8 yo son said, “mom, I want a queasy bake oven for Christmas.”

Me: (aside) you’re only getting that if you are getting a pregnant woman, and that ain’t happenin’.

MY 14 y/o nephew just about died laughing. First for queasy bake, one of those instances where the error may be more accurate than the correct version, and…[Read more]

Finally finished mine – seriously love the pattern! (And I’m attaching photos justvto see if it works)

Besides the dog eating my jump rope as demoralizing, I am at a stop. Machine in shop. The dealer was like, this machine and you are not a good combo. She offered to give me the full value against a trade in for an elna 5300/540 for the difference.

The buttonholer is touchy, and intermittently works. The feed dogs were bent and tipped so…[Read more]
