December



Well the tree and the lights across the back wall are up so we're just about ready for the Season.
Two yeara ago I put up the lights by walking barefoot and pregnant on the t.v unit! Crazy huh.
This year I put it all up and the lights didn't work. Wth?
Back to Kmart for new set of icicle lights and back up on the unit again. We got a new star as well.

This year I left the teachers' presents as last minute. I had some spare wine bottles from a wedding in the cupboard and Little Miss going to Kindergarten Next Year made up these ThankYou cards with my help. I stuck a little ribbon in the back to 'hang' the card on the wine bottle. Genius, I know ; )
There's also a big box of Cadbury Favourites in the pack too. The cards have a cute little poem about teachers in it and I'm sure her teachers will adore it.

The littliest turned 6months old yesterday. Wow, how.time.flies!!!!
He thinks sleeping through isn't his cup of tea so I am yet to enjoy a decent night's sleep.
He loves his food though and we're starting with potato and mushy stuff. No teeth yet.

I've made some Ottobre pants but the zipper pull flew off and I can't get it back in the teeth.
Did you know Ottore patterns Do Not Include a Seam Allowance? I found that out the hard way. At least I used some cheap fabric before starting on a nice denim.
It's suppose to rain all December so I might need pants this Christmas Day. I'm sussing out the shops but (so funny) I picked up this nice singlet which turned out to be a crop top. What??? Where's the rest of it? Young fashion. Where am I suppose to find something decent? Perhaps Target.

We shall seeeeeee.....

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...
