Not much sewing going on here at the moment, I'm flat out just muddling my way through the summer school holidays with two little boys. Trips to museums, galleries, the movies, a theatre show, a puppet show, swimming lessons and water play with friends at the local pool. Mucking about under the sprinkler in the garden, Saturday afternoons on the beach, watching The Muppet Show on DVD, coping with the odd heatwave and a short but sharp runny nose thing that swept through our family. I'm exhausted just thinking about all that we've done.
In my "spare" time I have squeezed in making a couple of pairs of pants for the boys to finish these outfits for my brother's wedding this coming weekend.
They are Made by Rae's Parsley pants pattern with pouch pockets and the tuxedo stripe options, in a charcoal quilting cotton. I took a little bit of the flare out of the leg and also for the first time made a flat front pant. The pants are an easy make even though there were lots of new little details I've never tried in pants making before. The final fit is really great and the boys can't wait to wear them - win, win. I'll treat you to a few pics of them in their outfits in due course.
I've also started to make what is possibly one of the easiest garments to sew and it's taking me the longest time ever to finish them...I'm making some sweet pillowcase dresses from some lovely embroidered pillowcases I've had in my stash for some time.
These dresses will be headed for the shop in a few weeks once school goes back and I have time to set up my photography gear sans seventy billion interruptions.
We are off to Melbourne tomorrow (eek, I've still got to pack!) and returning just in time for the first day of the new school year. If you want to follow what we get up to just come and follow me on Instagram.

I think so. I think your article will give those people a good reminding. And they will express thanks to you later
