    wow everything you made in 2012 is amazing. How lovely to teach your daughter, my nearly 3 year old sits on my lap while I sew and know she will enjoy it when she grows up too. Thank you for the Zakka Sew along; it was alot of fun and I learnt so muchReplyCancel

    It’s so much fun to see what you will come up with next. 2012 was a great year for you! Your color and pattern sense is awesome!!! It is fun looking at all you have accomplished this past year and shared with us. Thanks for your great inspiration! Seeing your daughter at the sewing machine reminds me of teaching my youngest granddaughter to sew beginning when she was only 4. She enjoyed it so much! So did it! Happy New Year!ReplyCancel

    I saw this on Flickr today and it inspired my house block when I was struggling with ideas. So thank you Lindsey. Love Saffron’s work. I am keen to find out what wombat day is all about. They are not a creature you see much in the wild here in Australia – we get plenty of wallabies and the occasional echidna but I have only seen ‘road kill’ wombats in the wild.ReplyCancel

    So cute, Lindsay! I’m giving this organic fabric project a shout-out on my blog today. (www.fabricsalad.com). Long live the wombats!ReplyCancel

Tomorrow is my little girl’s 50th day of Kindergarten and they are celebrating all things 50’s. Little kids decked out in poodle skirts, pony tails, white tees and blue jeans.    Too much cuteness! It was much more cost effective to make her a skirt and I found a great tutorial for a simple circle skirt […]
