Note to Self: You are a creative monster! 17 Aug 2013 | 11:00 pm
So we are moving in (again). This has been much easier because a) we have more space (MUCH more) than we used to and b) we had got rid of a lot of things. I had the movers leave the “stuff” from the ...
Stitcher’s Guild is down 18 Jul 2013 | 08:29 am
I depend on my regular fix of Stitcher’s Guildwhich is (unfortunately) down, and has been for a few days. If you need official info, check PatternReview. There’s a thread on the message board, under...
Charlotte’s summer wardrobe and Storybook Toys 11 Jun 2013 | 11:57 pm
Friends, if you don’t like cute, now is the time to look away. I’m getting over my post-SWAP letdown by sewing the most darling little things. LOTS of them. First up is half of Charlotte’s new summe...
I am grumpy. 1 Jun 2013 | 01:05 am
I have much to be grateful for. I finished my SWAP! I have clothes to wear! And, even better bonus, because I can’t eat milk or eggs since they give the baby eczema, I can fit into my old clothes n...
Burda 04/2013-123 grey blouson – SWAP 2013 completed! 11 May 2013 | 11:08 am
Who would have thought that 2013 would be the year I would complete a SWAP? With a five month-old baby and in a new country, at that? I can’t really explain it. But here is the final garment, a blou...

I’m just checking, four months on, on my new year’s sewing resolutions. Sew simple, with great fabrics. I have been doing this; nearly my whole recent output is patterns I have made before, and in ni...
M6437 grey top – with beads! 25 Apr 2013 | 12:45 pm
Another day, another grey top – but this time with added glitter! This is McCall’s 6437, a Laura Ashley pattern marked “Easy” — a simple raglan-sleeved gathered neck top. It has bad reviews on PR beca...
Vogue 8634 stripy cowlneck 18 Apr 2013 | 01:18 pm
So here is my OMG-I-need-a-top-for-SWAP top. As often happens, these unplanned projects can be some of the best. I love this top! I bought 1.5 metres, from which I usually find ample for a long-slee...
S2475 extraneous denim skirt! 17 Apr 2013 | 01:29 pm
So I rushed right out and bought eyelet for the BurdaStyle blouse I mentioned in my last post. Unmitigated disaster — boxy top? What was I thinking? Only in the drapiest of fabric, please. Anyway t...
Burda Style 3/2013 – LOVE! 9 Apr 2013 | 04:34 pm
OK, so I’m a little late to the party with the March issue of BurdaStyle. Truth be told I just don’t look at Burda much any more, since I get much more use out of my Ottobre magazines. But I was in ...
