My blog that is. This is what it used to look like until today.  I had intended to do a bit of sewing (need to make a birthday gift by Sunday), but my baby boy (only 3.5 months old) was so sick and miserable that he could only sleep when I held him.  So with read further...

Nope, that’s not her.  It’s actually this – a sewing pattern by Patty Young from modkid. I do love all things Japanese and this was the first modkid pattern I purchased.  I’ve since collected a few more patterns from modkid but haven’t had the chance to sew them up yet. The modkid Kyoko pattern was read further...

My 3.5 year old daughter is into dress ups and make believe at the moment and ask any little girl what they would like to dress up as – it’ll most likely be a princess.  So what does a princess need?  A tiara?  Check.  A pink fluffy tutu skirt?  Ahhh…..this is the post where I read further...

My challenge this week was to use this and this to create something like this. These are birthday gifts for the girls in my daughter’s Sunday school class and there are 9 girls (and 1 boy) in the class. In order for me to not get bored with making the same thing over and over read further...

Ever since I read this from Nikki, I’ve been trying to get one from Ebay but no luck there.   Everyone must have read that post as well I guess.  Anyhow, after a year and half of being out-bidded, I spotted this – a Singer CSP1 Steam Press Iron at my local op shop.  I’m read further...

Well, do you remember this post?  Yes, it arrived. The lovely Jo from Bellsjo generously sent me some fabric from her stash as well as some gorgeous postcards which needs to be framed I think. Beautiful, eh?  Not sure what I’ll be doing with them yet, but I’ve been seeing mini hexagons (check out how read further...

When I first started sewing a couple of years ago, for some reason or another, I found myself drawn to sewing bags for both children and adults.  Actually, the first bag I made was a kids messenger bag from this tutorial.  I’d even added a pocket for my daughter’s coloured pencils and was so proud read further...

Woohoo, this is it – one finished Sew Spoiled Weekender Tote coming right up. Oh yeah, my bag suffered from “saggy bottom” syndrome (because Vilene H630 was not firm enough), so armed with Mr Seam Ripper, I unpicked the base and fused a piece of Pellon Peltex and voila, no more saggy bottom. Here’s my read further...

When I first saw this jacket from Make It Perfect, I fell in love with it straightaway and had to get the pattern.  This was last year and I had very good intentions to sew it up for winter 09 but somehow never got around to it.  Anyway, it’s winter 2010 (officially) and yes, I read further...
