If you think sewing is fun
Then you must make a quick run

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.

I oughta start planning today
But I fear I cannot
For it’s simply my lot
to procrastinate up to the day!

Sarvi. That’s the problem. I copy the Flickr link and try to past but it won’t work. It will paste into a browser or word doc. I even hand typed the link when I clicked the link link.
