I am open to any flavour @Reeni, just after a great tasting cake that will freeze.
You have been so helpful

Just a few questions…. cake flour, is that Self Raising flour?
Do you have a good recipe for Swiss meringue icing? I could Google one but I love tried and true recipes.

Thank you again!

@Reeni, thank you!!!

Do you mean attendance or weighing scales? I have kitchen scales and my 1960 Sunbeam mixer 🙂

I am waiting on my new stove (happy dance) and my existing free standing oven is being moved out to the shed as a warmer/hotplate. It is gas and quite large but the door seals have gone so not so good for baking.

I would love your…[Read more]

Awesome, thank you!
My new stove is being shipped and my children are pretty happy about the testing that will take place.

Any more? Savoury or sweet.
Nicole replied to the topic Jacket questions–sizing, underlining in the forum oliver + s: school days 9 years ago

My children are on the small side so take my two cents with a grain of salt!

My solid 14 month old is wearing the size 6-12 months with one fold of the sleeves.

Here is the 12-18 month on my older daughter, similar age https://www.flickr.com/photos/motherof5/4815131108/in/album-72157625184981969/

Nicole replied to the topic What are you sewing now? in the forum off topic 9 years ago

Wow @needlewoman you will be busy.

I finished my shirt but I am unhappy with the collar, completely my fault, I should have muslined just the collar.

In a nutshell, I swopped the collar and made it too long and the collar stand ate it! I have not tried it on yet… too nervous. I hope it looks okay, I really want to wear it to my son’s party.

Nicole replied to the topic Ribbing for waistband? in the forum oliver + s: sunny day shorts 9 years ago

I made my daughter some yoga pants with a ribbing waist and I did have to go back and add elastic
I unpicked a wee bit of the seam, threaded it through and then hand sewed it up again.

I knew you guys would rock! 🙂

@Sarvi , fairy cakes are a great idea, I can bake and freeze and ice on thawing.

@Ann-Maree great recipe and equally great advice, thank you so much!

@Kerrilyn, yours too? 🙂

Keep them coming Ladies!

My husband is pretty chunky and I make this shirt for him
http://fiveandcounting-motherof5.blogspot.com.au/2015/04/jedediah-for-jed.html I do add length and last time I shortened the ‘tails’.

How about cutting a seam in the Hopscotch centre sleeve and adding the flowing fabric to that?
Nicole replied to the topic pretreating wool for coat – help! in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 9 years ago

I would pre-wash in the machine, with a approved wool wash. I use Softly in AUS.
I would treat both fabrics the same as they will be laundered together once it is made.

I would never ever tumble dry wool, some girls do though, Do you have a trampoline? They are awesome to dry wool on.

If you are super nervous, wash a swatch first. Wool is…[Read more]

Birthday shirt sewn, thanks to all the lovely ladies on Instagram for their help with button/thread choice.
We went with red thread, dark buttons, two token red buttonholes on a tan and white striped shirt.

Onto my shirt, a blue and white gingham.

Anyone with catering experience, may you check out my post in the baking thread?
Thank you!
