Believe it or not, I’m going to be super organised (yeah right!) and get all the Christmas presents done for Sunday school this year.  Now normally another teacher from the class organises the Christmas presents, but since I had fabric and vinyl left over from the peekaboo drawstring bags, I thought I might as well read further...

It’s been nearly a week since I last twisted my back, which makes sitting for prolonged periods of time very painful.  I can’t even drive over speed humps, cough or laugh without hurting it.  My two year old doesn’t seem to understand though that mummy has a really sore back and can’t carry him.  And read further...

I do believe this is the first piece of clothing I have sewn for my son.  FINALLY!  Anyway, I’ve been seeing lots of plaid shorts around for boys, but nothing in my budget (yes, I’m cheap). So finally found some left over suiting fabric for 5 dollars (ok, not so cheap but it is 100% read further...

Yep, the titles are getting worse, but seriously at this time of the year, I can’t think anymore. As I mentioned in my previous post, black is not a usual colour I would dress my daughter in.  Actually, the older folks, e.g.  grandmothers, aunties etc do no like seeing little girls wearing black at all. read further...

A couple of weeks ago, I showed  you a sneak peak of what I was working on, remember, it was something black?  Yes, I know the blog title gives it away, I couldn’t come up with anything clever  but that’s what it is, a black peasant dress. Now why a black dress?  It is probably read further...

Sewing something for little miss and is in BLACK.  I’ve never sewn anything in black for her before, then again, little girls don’t wear black do they? I picked up this piece of embroidered fabric a couple of years ago, not really sure what I was going to make but it was a bargain.  So read further...

Finally getting around to posting the pictures of the AVA halter top and pleated skirt even though this set was sewn at the same time as the other skirt.  My excuse, I find taking photos of an energetic almost 5 year old rather difficult.  Does anyone have this problem? Do you think when worn together, read further...

Little Miss has been asking for more dresses, ten to be precise.  I haven’t yet obliged with the request but thought I might get away with sewing a skirt instead.  This is a Modkid sewing pattern by Patty Young called the AVA pleated skirt.  I didn’t intend to use this pink gothic flower fabric (from read further...
