with love Heidi

Really? That makes me so happy, thank you!
PS (I love your name, I wanted a Mimi)

@NCMimi, great idea.
I found we had to have a ‘system’ to get the Jumprope dress on my little girl, she had a big head.
She soon learned the ‘procedure’ 🙂

I love your dress.

I saw this advertised on Foxtel whilst I was in hospital. It looks fantastic, I wish we could get it. 🙁

I wonder if she found the shoulder fit a wee bit snug…..

I made this for my daughter and, as per usual, sized back and added length. It was a bit of a tug around the shoulders but fine once on.

Perhaps try a knit or a cotton poplin with some stretch?

@jay_1965vw Yes, Northern Virginia. A meet-up would be fun! I don’t have many sewing friends here 🙂

That is a genius idea! I am totally stealing it for my girls – the oldest one in particular would love to design a wardrobe.

Really @Sarvi, that is so exciting, thank you!

I *finally* posted it off to its new owner.

@jay_1965vw good luck on the house hunt. I actually live in the NoVa area (recently returned from four years overseas). I hope you enjoy your time here!

@withloveheidi that is good to know – I also have the press and size 20 snaps. Yours look ok so perhaps I’ll just use what I already have. I am considering getting the size 16 die but I’ve also thought about just ordering the Snap Source snaps and setter here in the O+S store. I have a few months before I need to have those snaps in place…[Read more]

Lots and lots of baby stuff. I was certain that #3 would be our last and so I gave everything away. Right now I have 10 newborn fitted diapers in progress and I am also working through the Lullaby Layette. I’ve determined to make most everything from stash fabric, which is requiring a little creativity in the matching department. I know from…[Read more]

The photo of my most recent baby Music Box and bonnet has over 23,000 views. It was added to the Explore group (which, I totally don’t understand how that works) and now I get all these comments about what a great photo it is (it’s not). Random.

On a somewhat related note, people have tried to add my photos into what I can only describe as fetish…[Read more]

I have been knitting 11 years, since well before I started sewing. Funny that you mentioned Brooklyn Tweed, as one of my two current WIPs is his Alberta Vest, for my husband. It is steeked, something I have never done before, and I knit it to the steering stage and then, scared, out it aside. That was about two years ago … I should pick it back…[Read more]

My son passed his driving test, so excited for him!

Thanks @Justsewit, I am sure all will be fine.
