Find out what I use for pattern weights (not as exciting as some I’m sure – let me know what you use in the comments!) and a little of what’s gone on in my sewing room.

The latest Bishy Barnababes PDF sewing pattern to be released is the Prairie Petticoat and Skirts.
Imagine the girls from Little House on the Prairie frollicking around barefoot in flowered cotton skirts with vintage lace trim:
Or maybe you prefer the elegance and beauty of layers of tulle that can be worn as a petticoat under an Easter dress or embellished to create a masterpiece you won’t want to hide!

The Prairie Petticoat and Skirts PDF pattern has them all. In sizes newborn through to age 16, plus American doll and Build-a-bear, and four styles included, there’s bound to be one that’s just right for someone in your life.

I’ve been amazed at my wonderful testers’ creations.
