So, I have been working on another pattern for you guys, and was hoping to get that up this week, but my smallest little lady is at home with the flu, so it was not to be. I will get that up for you next week, but in the mean time… I have been putting…
A couple of weeks ago my daughter (4 yo) decided that wearing a skirt and t-shirt to daycare was unfashionable and embarrassing, and each morning sobbed about getting dressed into this sun safe but ’embarrassing’ combination.

As you can probably tell by the pics above, I…

Leading up to Christmas I had my machines out sewing up some new swimsuits for my girls. As I explained in my Super Summer Swim Bottoms post, rash shirts are a must in Queensland. The UV Index is predicted to reach 16 [Extreme] every day this week. So I busted out my Patterns-for-pennies Super Swim Bottoms…
