Hope it goes as well as possible tomorrow, Tamara!

I love the field trip! These are my goto pants. I have made them 3T with 4 length plus 2×2″ growth hems. I made them last may and they are still going very strongly and we have only let down the first 2″.

Last year I made two pairs of these, in pink and purple, for then 4 year old girl. I made them size 3 width with size 4 length which corresponded to her measurements then. They fit really well at the time.
Eighteen months later they still fit really well and are worn regularly. I added a 4″ growth cuff which we let down 2″ this winter. She…[Read more]

Hope you get some sewing done Tamara, if only for the sanity!
I finished up the layette jacket yesterday and this afternoon made some matching denim ‘jeans’. I upcycled a pair of jeans from my husband into the layette pants and used the left over Lisette fabric for the pockets. The matching set is gorgeous 🙂

I’m concerned about getting a “terminal” degree! . In Australia anything “terminal” is something that will kill you fairly quickly!

I finished a chambray skirt for myself today and traced off the lullaby layette jacket in all sizes! I’m making my first one in some Lisette fabric 🙂

It’s a little over the top but I love the combination and juxtaposition of the swirl skort and art Museum Vest. The matching vest was my husbands idea 🙂

Ah, so it’s like a Subway. I would call it a salad roll, depending on what’s in it. 🙂

I love the charger holder and the socks! One boy In particular I think would love the socks, especially as they would fit, once I up size them for his (currently!) size 13 feet (size 14.5 in North America) 🙂
Thanks for these great ideas 🙂

What’s a grinder? Is it a sandwich? Because in Australia its a power tool! Normally an angle grinder, not so good to eat 🙂
Oh, and the three meals a day are breakfast, lunch and tea. Although tea and dinner in this context are interchangeable. Supper is a light snack before bed!

I just got the patterns I ordered a couple of weeks ago! Lullaby, Garden Party (5-12) and Hide And Seek (5-12). And I realised this afternoon that the garden party may work well as the base for Hermione’s dress.

Cossie! I knew I’d forgotten one but couldn’t work it out, thanks 🙂

The shoe cleaning kit makes me smile, especially as the boys wear black school shoes to school everyday 🙂
And yes I do seem to function a lot as that type of aunt, but married 🙂

I have so many patterns already
To make clothes for Janie and Freddie
I ought to get started
But I can’t bear to be parted
