Oh! Of course — my reading comprehension is not so hot before my morning coffee kicks in! 6″ should be plenty and nana can always trim if needed.

No, you’re correct. The top has side splits and the back hem is lower than the front hem. It’s a nice feature.
Enjoy your sewing.

Sorry, I guess I’m not clear on the relevance of the grandmother’s size? I’ve made the size 5 and found the elastic to be fine. It is a pretty gentle sort of elastic that fits in there (you’re not meant to use that very stiff, heavy waistband type of elastic) and it’s really just giving a bit of gentle gather/ease for dressing to a bit of the…[Read more]

I drooled and drooled over your new stove — and that fab huge oven!

@with-love-heidi it looks fantastic! I especially love that close fit at the chest – no slipping or gaping! This has definitely landed the pattern on my wish list. Even at my thinnest I am in the smallest size, right now I’d need to go up, so it seems a good investment.

@roundtheworldgirl , thank you. I hope I don’t look like mutton dressed as organic lamb 😉

@lightningmcstitch , I double dare you to wear that!

My new stove arrived and I am on the last stretch of my 18th Birthday sewing. Next week will be baking and list writing.

The Fab Five have done an awesome job clearing and tidying up the yard and old implement shed.

I am getting very excited to catch up with friends and family, it seems like…[Read more]

@with-love-heidi, please promise you will post pics of Appleton once it is done? I am very intrigued by the pattern.

I have been doing a little selfish sewing lately. Made a very successful Josephine (Made By Rae) and started on a second. The second is not going well, however, and it is currently in time-out for about the fourth time. In the…[Read more]

@ann-maree, thank you! I just got the notification too, but then I went to put it in my cart and it is sold out (or “sold out”) again! Maybe it is not meant to be.

Hugo’s 18th outfit is done, happy dance, on with my jeans.
I am making the Ginger jeans in a white stretchy denim. I am concerned I am old enough for white skinny jeans but the Twins have designed my outfit on Polyvore http://www.polyvore.com/hugos_18th/set?id=178294686 and assure me it is perfect.
I predict I will be so busy on the night I won’t…[Read more]
