Time to Sew: April 2010
http://time-to-sew.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Sewing the seeds of a good life. Friday, April 16, 2010. Last of the Summer.Tomatoes. Not much sewing going on here - have to talk about the rest of my life instead. I planted tomatoes this year. More to give Mitchell a taste of where food comes from, than as a serious gardening exercise. I planted 4 different varieties, three heirloom ones, (including the black ones in the picture) and one modern heavy cropping one. Needless to say, we got most tomatoes from the modern version. Soon, he'd come and say "...

Time to Sew: Sewing for ME
http://time-to-sew.blogspot.com/2010/09/sewing-for-me.html
Sewing the seeds of a good life. Saturday, September 25, 2010. I'm desperate for clothes - none of my pre-baby wardrobe fits (and when the baby in question is nearly 3, then I can't blame the situation on pregnancy! So, I decided to make a shift dress, to wear over leggings. I found some (cheap) fabric that I liked - from Nicks Fabrics. A loosely woven black with threads of cerise, purple and metallic silver running through. But adapted for the new use. And I added pockets. After I'd put the zipper in, I...

Time to Sew: Meet the Bad Piggies!
http://time-to-sew.blogspot.com/2013/12/meet-bad-piggies.html
Sewing the seeds of a good life. Monday, December 30, 2013. Meet the Bad Piggies! Yep Long-time, no post. There has been sewing going on - though not as much as when Mitchell was tiny. But here's some stitching of a different kind. Angry Birds are really big in our house, right now - and have been for the past year. And Mr M. was really keen to have an Angry Birds party for his 6th birthday. Google is my friend. So searched out some cool ideas for party invitations, table-ware and games. Next I stitched ...

Time to Sew: February 2010
http://time-to-sew.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Sewing the seeds of a good life. Monday, February 1, 2010. Mending is sewing too. So that's why an extra cute and comfortable pair of denim trousers given to him by his aunt, had new knee patches added (where he wore out the knees crawling); while other pairs of trousers have gone straight in the rag bag. And finally darning. Now this one really is crunch time for a garment - it has to be really. But it's not nearly so much fun as sewing. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

Time to Sew: May 2010
http://time-to-sew.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Sewing the seeds of a good life. Tuesday, May 4, 2010. Well, the winter is certainly on our doorstep. Despite the Indian summer we've been enjoying, the temperature has started to drop at night. Time to think about snuggly winter pyjamas for Mitchell. Over the last 2 winters, I've made him bodysuits out of fine merino jersey knit, using this Ottobre pattern. He just lived in them over winter. He wore them at night inside his sleeping bag, and during the day as a base layer. I don't really want to have th...

Time to Sew: March 2011
http://time-to-sew.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Sewing the seeds of a good life. Thursday, March 10, 2011. Sometimes you just need to do something quickly, with the minimum of fuss. I'd been given a bag of material to sew up for the kids at Mitchell's. In the stash was a lovely transparent black gauze, sprinkled with silver stars - just perfect for a cape - it could be anything from a superhero to a wizard to a fairy princess. The fabric was lovely, but it frayed like the dickens, and I didn't want big hems, as they just catch and get pulled. The edge...
