Welcome to the first part of the sew along! If you are here for the first time you might want to check out the introduction post that will tell you all you need to know about this project. The best...
It's always fun to see people's sewing and craft spaces. With the help of my father-in-law, I've finally got my space set up the way I want it. It's still a work in progress - I think it always...
This post is part of the virtual baby shower for Abby from Things for Boys! She is due to have her baby boy in the next few weeks so some of her friends around the blogosphere have joined forces to...
I've been thinking about doing a tutorial for one of these ever since I made my first one back in February. I made first quilted mat just to test out my then-brand-new walking foot, but I loved it...
This year my brother organised for all of us to pool our resources and buy Mum a Kindle for Mother's Day. Exasperated by her plans to go and buy some books last week, he ended up giving it to her a...
When I write blog posts and tutorials I never know how they'll be received. Honestly I can't really imagine other people reading them! It's funny how that works - I write and I share and it goes...
For a change I'm playing by the rules. I am making a quilt that actually has some sort of plan. I'm joining the girls from And Sew We Craft (a fantastic blog of Aussie crafty collaborators) and...
During Kid's Clothes Week I made a couple of t-shirts for Lucy using baby blankets and I got such a lovely and positive response for them! Thank you! So I thought I'd share a quick tutorial showing...
This year I have participated in four handmade swaps. Yep - four! I think I am addicted to getting parcel deliveries full of lovely things! Over the past few months I've gradually shared what I've...
I'm done and dusted for Kid's Clothes Week - I achieved the goals I set myself, made one extra item, and got some quilting projects done this week! It feels great to be so productive. Here are the...
Next on the list for Kid's Clothes Week was a hoodie vest for each for the girls. Lucy's is still a work in progress, but Anna's is all done! Four year olds. SO much attitude! I made a size four...
Monday afternoons are the best - I'm pumped to get some new projects started, and after a busy morning, Anna is at Kindergarten and Lucy has her nap, and I can get some sewing done! Yesterday was...
So FINALLY I am participating in Kid's Clothes Week. I have been meaning to for about a year but it always sneaks up on me and I have nothing prepared. Not this time! The girls really needed some...
Our girls were swaddled as newborns and and once they started rolling we have dressed them in sleeping sack / gro-bag type suits over their pyjamas. Lucy is so much taller than Anna was at the same...
Disclosure: The PosterCandy poster featured was gifted to me for the purpose of review. Ahh social media. There is so much to love! So much time to be wasted! And so many pictures of cats to laugh...
I was chatting on the phone to my Dad last week and he said " Now Ros. About the blog. The sewing is great but you know I'm more interested in the food. You haven't cooked anything for ages!"...
So excited - I am hosting a sewing day! If you live in or near Melbourne (or you will be visiting at the time) I would love to see you there! Date: Saturday 6th July 2013 Time: 9am - 4pm Place: GJs...
In between other projects this year I've been sewing up blocks for a quilt for Anna. I had a strict budget for this quilt - $0. I've blown that budget by buying some fabric for the backing ($14.00)...
The girls are at that age now - what I do for one I MUST do for the other. They copy each other, want the same toys, squabble over things that there is only one of. Lucy got her Geranium last...
I recently participated in the Covert Robin Swap, and after sewing for lots of swaps earlier this year, I was keen to choose a couple of projects that were new to me, and also practical for my...
One of the major fabric retailers in Australia had their big fabric sale over Easter, with 40% off all fabrics in their store. I needed a couple of things for some projects, so I went along this...
It's been swap mania around here lately - so far this year I've participated in four (!!) handmade swaps. Crazy. But they are so fun and getting parcels delivered is quite addictive! This project...
Anna's best friend from kindergarten, Chloe, celebrated her 4th birthday last week. Her party was this past weekend, and I like to give home made gifts where I can. When I asked her, she said her...
It's has been such a great swap event! So many lovely designs, fabrics and so many talented ladies! This will be my last post about the Swap and marks the official "close" of the event. I know...
Back in January, I was a guest at a blogger's lunch at the Yarra Valley Chocolaterie & Ice Creamery. It was fabulous, so we went back this past weekend for another visit. We love the Yarra Valley,...
A couple of weeks ago Rachael emailed the test version of her pattern the Roly-Poly Pinafore for me to try. I thought it would be a great chance to start adding to Lucy's wardrobe for winter, as I...
Last week, one of my readers who has turned into an online sewing friend, emailed me and asked me about my opinions on starting a blog. It really got me thinking. Writing Sew Delicious has become a...
