I have bought one sweatshirt fleece from Girlcharlee and it has held up pretty well.

I just made a couple of these in french terry from GC and it’s amazing. I don’t know how cold it is where you are, if you would want something heavier though. They didn’t have fun prints, but a big variety of stripes and solids.

ETA, 5 minutes
Hi tiddily hee, guilt free shopping for me!

@Ock Du Spock snap! I am sewing one too, but very industrial sewing, lots of topstitching 😉

@with love Heidi that divine wedding cape you sewed, swoon!

@roundtheworldgirl I am so excited about your baby. I just love seeing babies in the Flickr pool.

I have the sleeves to go on Beatrix’s Puppet Show dress. I made the size 6-12 months and it is…[Read more]

My pleasure!
I only wish I could be more help.

See here

I am travelling to the city at present so should have a reasonable internet connection for a bit.

*From memory*, you sew to the dot, do the next step and then finish sewing that edge? I am sorry not to be more help. I am feeling so frustrated for you.

Okay, here?

Sarvi, I am on my way (and actually have internet, yippee)

I will have a look for you and get you some if they have any.

Yay, I got a post to load!

Fourth time lucky….

I tend to do my hand sewing as it eventuates. I used to have a lot of UFO’s and I am terrified of going back there.

I do have a DVD/TV combo in my sewing room though. At the moment I am working through Royal Pains when the children are running through and The Tudors when they are in bed 😉

I would say check girlcharlee.com. I have purchased some great stuff on their website. It’s always hard to buy fabric online since you don’t know what it’s going to feel like. I haven’t purchased any fleece from them, though. I think fabric.com does some samples if you have the time (or patience) to wait for fabric samples to come. I bought a…[Read more]

Top of the Lake sounds awesome. Sounds like my husband would like that one too!

I tried watching Game of Thrones but I think I like the book better (not to be clique hahaha but because I get a little scared of action-y graphic-y stuff and when reading books, it’s only as graphic as your mind lets it be). But Ed is super into Game of Thrones! The…[Read more]

I am sorry it is not more clear.
Looking back at my pictures, which step are you up to?

I remember this step being a bit fiddly but it helps you achieve a lovely under arm finish.

I think the Mindy Project is on Netflix too! I’ll check that out! What chick shows do you like? I sometimes make my husband suffer through the Vampire Diaries and Gilmore Girls haha

Sarvi, love this! I love NPR. I’m pretty sure this was the exact story that my husband listened to that caused him to start buying jeans from companies where they make them themselves (right here in North Carolina, actually). And he makes me make his t-shirts and button downs. I’m not complaining to much 😉

I think about this a lot, actually. I live in the US, I grew up in Charleston, SC, lived in Florence, SC during college, spent the first 5 1/2-ish years after college in Greenville, SC (which used to be a huge textile area but has since died out. I did have some friends living there who were still in the textile industry) and we just moved to…[Read more]
