I donate our old ones to a local church thrift store. They sell locally what they can and send the others that are still useable, but maybe not sellable, to poorer countries where they give them for free.

As someone who spends a lot of money on children’s shoes I feel qualified to answer 😉
They are awesome!
My American galpals put me on to them. I can buy them new for about $70 AUS, which is half the cost of the Gavarlin shoes I was sending them to school in and they last so well.They don’t scuff, we clean them at night with a wet one ( inside…[Read more]

A ‘fun’ dessert I make for parties is ‘frogs in mud puddles’
Small cups half filled with chocolate custard with plump greens grape ‘frogs’ hiding in it.
Serve with a wee spoon.

Sorry to those of you waiting but it probably won’t be until next week. Once we hand things off to the printer we lose a lot of control of the timetable and this round things are taking longer than usual.

I saw them on instagram @katybellabug, so sweet!
I finished Jed’s jeans, super heavy denim but they should wear well. I used some scraps from his Liberty shirt to make the pocket bags and line the back yoke.
Next up, a muslin of the Lisette Attache peplum top for Elsa’s 16th birthday sew.

Just checking in, it’s been a while! Blame the holidays.
You have all been so busy! I have been sewing but it has been a run of school uniform, which I am always enthusiastic to start but by the time I am doing my last buttonholes, I am flagging!
I’ve still got to photograph everything, but I have done Lunchbox Culottes, Music Class Blouse,…[Read more] -

Sewing for Yourself 9 years agoThat grey cord is yummy!
Liesl recommended reversing the nap of the cord for a really lush look, I always do that now and it does look wonderful.I crazy love that lining fabric. If you are worried you will be too warm (which I doubt, in Canada brrr) you could line the sleeves with the silk stuff and use a cotton or lawn for the body or just the back?

Sewing for Yourself 9 years agoHi Lisa.
I love love love that pattern and your fabric choice is gorgeous but…. may I suggest you definitely request a sample?
I regularly run the gauntlet of unusual fabric choices but the description does say heavy and there is no mention of apparel at all.
You would also have some pattern matching to do with the plaid.
Also, it is dry clean…[Read more] -
