More babies in the Flickr pool, and twins! I love it, congratulations @jax.

Very happy to help. 🙂

I have messaged you.

Enjoy sewing your shirt Ellen. I think a smart shirt is lovely on a fellow (and I love sewing them too).

Don’t panic, re the Tea Party dress, Tamara. Trixie is 8 months old and I can just squeeze her into the 0-3 month if she is wearing a disposable.

I finished a vintage coat for Lidia and now I am on to one for Elsa. 1960’s I am guessing, by…[Read more]

Is that what that stitching is? Our accountant had a smart new suit on and I noticed it.

Could you make a pointed tie on sash?

I made my oldest another Cosi swimsuit but something went wrong and it’s a bit too short in the torso. Tonight I plan to chop it in half and turn it into a two piece.

It’s not the most accurate approach to a Sleeping Beauty dress, but I made my youngest daughter one for Christmas when she was 2.5. I used a peasant dress pattern (indietutes, I think), and just eyeballed the pieces for the skirt overlay, and then draped the ruff in tulle. You can see bad photos here and here.

Really lovely.

I made a Carousel dress for Liddy (11),today.

I used sand coloured velvet/uncut cord (not sure what it is) with red topstitching. It has quite a medieval feel to it.

I am sorry Masha.
If it is any comfort, the moonboot offers a lot of support. Jed polished all our timber floors wearing one.

All the best with the birth, I will be thinking of you.

So this baby is due in a week and a half. My husband has been on crutches for the last week with a presumed sprain. Today’s X-ray confirmed my suspicion that it is not just a sprain. He will find out for sure on Thursday but the specialist suspects he will need surgery to fix a bone that regrew improperly after an undiagnosed fracture sustained…[Read more]

Made my son a pair of swim trunks using the Sunny Day shorts pattern yesterday. Tonight I will cut out another Cosi swimsuit for my oldest girl with plans to sew it up tomorrow.
