    LOL! There's a lot of hope in my list too!!! Can't believe you've made 13 hopscotches in one form or another!
    Off to keep cutting out the next thing on my list...(Sunday Brunch jacket for Miss L - did the skirt this afternoon)

    When do you plan to sleep? LOL!
    Love all your outfits. Especially love the rose fabric for the Music Class blouse. Where did you get it? I've been looking for fabric like that.
    Clever idea using 2 backs on Hopscotch and using wool fabric on Class Picnic.
    All your creations have turned out wonderfully right down to the brooch flower. Your children will be the best dressed in all of Oz!

    "When do you plan to sleep? LOL!" Yeah that!

    I love seeing how you are executing the twins' wardrobe plans and adore the wintry Class Picnic pullover with the flower detail/brooch!

    Wow! Thanks Girls... You did see ''hope to sew''?
    Luckily,most of these clothes are trans-seasonal so it won't matter too much if it takes me some time to complete!
    Thank you so much Justine,Millie,Catherine,Deb,Cindy and Sarah!
    Thanks for reading and taking the time to comment!

    I have spent hours going through your archives getting all inspired for some sewing time now that I've discovered O+S patterns and my beloved fabric.com restocked their clearance section. Thank you! Inquiring minds want to know: How do you get the fantastic graphics on the tops? I'd love to do that for The Benevolent Dictator but iron-ons tend to go all crunchy and cracked on me and the only screen printing experience I have is from summer camp as a kid and I remember it being some huge setup. If I bring home one more "huge setup" hobby I'm going to be sleeping in the doghouse. :)
