Hello and thanks for your nice comments on my children´s clothes! I have been sewing since as long as I can remember, I believe.
You´ll see, when you start sewing for children, it is very rewarding since 1) you don´t need so much material 2) you never have to think so much about the fit, just make the clothes wide enough and that´s good enough 3) they like everything you make for them – at least that´s my experience so far and my oldest boy is 8 years now!Good luck with your projects!//Elin L

hey there! thanks for posting such nice comments on my page. i’m so very flattered that you’ve been inspired by my creations. your fab accessories are equally inspiring. oh yes, and thanks for posting that “tree” ad. I just might have to steal some of those designs for appliques. :)

Hi Red Wren, Thanks for explaining calender cloth. I love how you use regular household items and turn them into beautiful useful things. I am also going to look for interesting shower rings for my bags. Great idea. Thanks.

Thank you Red-Wren! I love your square neck dress, so gorgeous! I see you live in Newrybar, isn’t that near Byron Bay? I lived in oz for a year, miss it heaps! Happy sewing :)

Oh, I’m glad you liked it! Yes, Newrybar is only 10 minutes from Byron Bay, and I go to school there. It certainly is a beautiful neck of the woods. Happy sewing to you too!
