I try to help but it is hard wood and I can't split it for love or money, so I do the carting and log throwing :)KJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16634866101136501189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1702954348368456089.post-66382034308992885062011-05-08T12:35:13.712+10:002011-05-08T12:35:13.712+10:00Jan, my strategy is to get very very simple patter...Jan, my strategy is to get very very simple patterns, nothing with darts or pleats or anything. Just cut and sew the sides together, sew one up in cheap fabric for practice before using good material.KJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16634866101136501189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1702954348368456089.post-74675610198541426012011-05-07T21:07:20.038+10:002011-05-07T21:07:20.038+10:00That wood fire looks great KJ.

I think most of the clothes are terrible and being a large girl I buy from USA, but the quality is not too good. I can make quilts but not sew clothes, but may have to learn real soon.Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01728584891511905889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1702954348368456089.post-31761303764419046802011-05-07T16:22:40.075+10:002011-05-07T16:22:40.075+10:00Even though we are in the tropics it is still gett...Even though we are in the tropics it is still getting cold and are big girls about it too :)<br /><br />It is good to be back blogging and now with sewing my new old thing to get into it is busy.

Time for the winter sheet swap over this weekend I think.<br /><br />Thanks for the mention of the cupcakes. They were pretty good especially for something that was quite simple to make. Making them as mini sized cupcakes justifies me eating them although having 2 or 3 at a time doesn't help! LOL<br /><br />Hope you have a lovely Mother's Day and a lovely weekend. Stay warm!Domesblissityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07270409725826410919noreply@blogger.com
