For now

Here's a not so great pic of Little Man wearing his toddler backpack.
As you can see it's pretty roomy. Enough to lug a spare set of clothes and a lunchbox.
The added 1 inch to make it taller turned out to be a good decision.

It may look a little bulky from this side but really it's not.
It's very lightweight and I kinda wished that I used two layers of interfacing on the front and back panels as well. It will stand on it's own and it looks too cute hanging from a chair or shelf.

Happy Belated Mother's Day everyone.
My sister got me these beauties. Every time I walk past the smell of the lilies devour me.
I pause... sniff.. smile and think happy thoughts.

The kids have new beds so they have me bed hopping at night.
Sometimes it's my girl and sometimes the boy. Other times it's the baby.
All this night waking is frazzling me out a little but I keep going.
Sometimes all it takes is a little patience, a little cuddle and a bit of play-time to make a world of difference.
My next project might be a little blouse for Little Miss since the weather is much colder these evenings. Can you believe we are already starting flu season?
It's time to rug up and maybe even start a knitting project that I've been procrastinating about.
I would love to go to any of these classes but it's too pricey right now.
I'll just have to depend on my trusty piece of technology: the internet.
Ciao for now.

Invisible zipper foot - Birch

I thought I might shed some light on the invisible zipper foot. I bought a Birch model from Spotlight and it came in a little plastic bag with four blue shanks and a rolling foot. First I removed the standard foot from my Janome sewing machine (Sewist 521). I realised I still needed to remove the shank, which is the part that is screwed on, and holds the interchangeable feet. So with one hand holding the screwdriver and one hand holding my daughter, who just had to watch, it popped out disappeared somewhere. NO! I was about to kick myself but luckily I found it in the basket underneath my table. Phew. The Birch invisible zipper foot comes with one shank already in place so you know how it's suppose to fit. You have to select the correct shank that fits your machine and slide it onto the foot piece. I just tried each blue part on my machine and made sure it was wide enough to cover the metal leg bit and that I could fit the screw in it's side. Once you find the correct shank sl...
