Sewing with my Granddaughter Poppy!

March 19th, 2014

I’m delighted to share with you some pictures of my sweet little granddaughter Poppy during her visit to Australia.

I was lucky to spend 3 wonderful weeks with my son and his family who flew from Zurich, Switzerland.

Poppy 3 years old, had her first sewing experience with me in Rosewood Cottage. She attended our Kids Sewing Club where she was in awe of all the girls and their creations and of course was instantly inspired to sew herself!

Check her out below using her wooden sewing machine and the delight on her face wearing her new Dr. Seuss dress!

“Grandma, sewing with you is SO exciting!”

“Yes Grandma, I think we fitted this dress to my size perfectly and I need to wear it straight away.”

“I can’t believe I made this dress myself! Can you?”

What do you think of Poppy’s sewing? We would be delighted to hear from you so please leave a comment below.

Before you go, we would also love to see the beautiful sewing projects you have made. Please come on over to our Facebook Page CLICK HERE and post your gorgeous creations and check out what other sewers have made too! We would love you to join our sewing community!

Happy Sewing,

My Holiday in Port Douglas

October 21st, 2013

During term 3 break I had a wonderful holiday to Port Douglas Queensland, Australia with my daughter Jacqueline. It was just fabulous and I loved every minute!

For two weeks we ran on the beach at sunrise, rested and relaxed by the swimming pool, ate beautiful fresh fruit, salads and seafood! We visited the Daintree Rain Forest, the Cassowary waterfall and explored the famous Sunday market.

It was just what I needed!

We finished our wonderful holiday by dining at the famous Nautilus Restaurant on our final night. We treated ourselves and indulged in a magnificent “7 course Chef’s tasting plates” as we sipped on cocktails and wine on a beautiful balmy night! Perfect!

I was also delighted to attend one of my lovely sewing students wedding Emy, in Port Campbell. Emy has been a student of mine for many years as well as an assistant in my Zero To Sewing Beginner sewing course.
