I love ziplock bags.

I laminate the front and back of my pattern package (or PDF print off) and then put them in a ziplock bag with all the tracings and instructions sheet in between them.
This is a reasonable sturdy and protective option.

When you guys say ‘soda’ do you mean fizzy water you have with whiskey or a sweet fizzy drink?

‘Snap’ comes from the card game in our house. Don’t play with the Twins, they play dirty.

‘Nurse’ is another funny one. In AUS it means to hold a baby, not feed it.

When I was a kid we played it that when jinx was called the other person couldn’t speak until someone said their name. My kids play it “jinx buy me a soda” which of course never happens. Lame. 😉

Such a great look for twins when you don’t want them too matchy matchy — that shape ties the looks together but each is so distinct.

Haha, I love when they get that serious voice. Love these cute stories, kids are the best!

Just finished my Late Lunch tunic and I am literally bubbling over with excitement.
I cannot remember the last time I made something for myself that I love this much!
(Okay, the Portfolio but don’t rain on my parade)

I made the size 8 with a DD FBA and it is fabulous.
