the surfing penguin all leied up: if I were a little bit more awake, I’d upright the photos below and the self portrait I took of me in one of my new shirts… but I’m not. so, zzzzzzzzzzzz.

I finished a bunch of clothes this weekend – appliqued shirts for the neices and nephews, 3 dresses and a kurta for sylvie, a shirt for me (not shown) and a shirt and some Pj pants for Will. I’ve thrown in the surfing penguin shirts that Will and I screened a while ago. The pink […]

I could sit at home sewing for days. I’ve got a pile of Japanese craft books that I page through anytime I have a spare second, and sometimes when I should really be doing something parently. This morning after the family went off to their daytime places, I made the patterns for 2 new shirts […]
