E gets very excited about fighting swords with her sibs. It's best when I'm holding her -- that way she can reach better.
Here's my first project using the Wild Ginger pattern making software. I adapted it after printing (the sleeve detail and the button placket in the back) so it's not all Wild Ginger. I like it a lot, except for the fit. That's not a problem with the software -- I just have to get used to their different ease settings and how much room kids need. The software is very clever, but I'm finding that I adapt it more than I expected. Not a point and click thing. I was also experimenting with bias tape and making buttonholes on my new machine ... I didn't show a picture of the flower buttons. V picked out the fabric, can you tell? I said corduroy, she said flowers.

Very cuke! That is very cool bias tape. Not the ugly cotton stuff you get here in the States. Good job. An eleven-month-old sword fighter! Hilarious.
I know, right? It's so hard to find good sewing stuff here, but the satin bias tape I'm really digging. I think the same shop had some black, I should get it now.
V said you made that dress and I was REALLY impressed. SO CUTE!!!
so cute! Very V:) I'm curious: is fabric much more expensive there than in the states? I know someone in Australia and she says it is twice as expensive there.
I actually find fabric to often be cheaper here, or at least a comparable price. The problem is selection, especially for cottons and cotton knits. I don't really understand this, because Italy's just around the corner, right? Portugal had the same problem, though. Suiting fabric, formalwear, but kid stuff, not so much.
