More late summer sewing

August 30, 2012August 30, 2012 Ana Sofia10 Comments

Earlier this month I knew a “break-up” was coming: Me and my sewing machine were going to be apart for 3 weeks (yes, that long!). The day before, I found a much-awaited parcel in my mailbox (fabric, what else?) So, what did I in the wee hours before leaving for the beach? I sew. For just about 3 hours and… Continue reading More late summer sewing

Late summer sewing

August 26, 2012August 26, 2012 Ana Sofia11 Comments

This post was started a couple of weeks ago, before we left for our annual summer holidays. Now, that the holidays are almost ending, I’m able to finally post it. I have cut the Family Reunion dress before, but wasn’t quite sure about the fit – Living close to the ocean, I always favour a… Continue reading Late summer sewing

Summer breeze

My summer sewing is now almost done. Late as usual, but despite the official calendar, there will still be many hot summer days until the end of october/mid-november. So, my late summer sewing is not totally lost.

I never managed to sew for my kids when they’re babies – my first “official” sewing attempt was for Miss M when she was about 11 months. Yet, now I have 2 gorgeous baby nephews (of course, I’m the proud aunt) and a bit more of sewing experience, so a bit of baby sewing was in order. I… Continue reading A bit of baby sewing …

Feeding the cats

August 7, 2012August 17, 2012 Ana Sofia

Today, we managed to get a couple of pictures outside. The red & navy plaid was a great option for this summer dress and the crispy white pique made the peter pan collar look even more adorable. Did I mentioned that for a size 5T dress, I managed to use less than a yard of fabric… Continue reading Feeding the cats

Baking (!) and a plaid dress

August 6, 2012August 17, 2012 Ana Sofia

It’s been really hot around here! Yet, my kid’s love affair with baking is far from ending! Especially in those days when it’s almost impossible to be in the kitchen – or near the oven, for that matter, and baking can’t become a “painful” activity – yet, my “little chefs” still manage to keep their… Continue reading Baking (!) and a plaid dress
