No, not eleven months' time, the magazine that does those amazing kids clothing patterns for not just woven fabrics, but knits and weatherproof fabrics too. I've ordered a couple more issues to go with the Spring 2010 one that I already have (much thumbed, page corner turned and generally loved). I bought mine from this brilliant UK site (which also has a great range of knits and corduroy, incredibly prompt delivery and free sweeties! What's not to love?). According to the back of the magazine, Americans can order it here. I don't know about the States, but in the UK the magazine is shipped directly from Finland, so it takes a week or so to arrive. I'm drumming my fingers.
I've had the fabric shown above (also mainly from DotsnStripes, although the dinosaur fabric is from this American site) kicking around for a while, but since (a) Teddy needs clothes (gosh, have I mentioned that enough this week?) and (b) I have a dedicated 'garment fabric' section in my storage shelves now and I can see just quite how much jersey and rib knit I actually have, I've decided that the next couple of weeks will be focused on making for him.
It should also help get me back into focusing, in a way I haven't been so much in recent weeks, on my little boy. Adam is back at work today (a mixed blessing, but we're trying to be positive about it) and I am back on full time Teddy-duty. I'm hoping I can still manage a sensible amount of work on my supplies shop and my new handmade venture, but I definitely need to make the mental shift to toddler speed again, at least during working hours.
I so love Ottobre,just not the tracing. The magazine arrives from Finland to America most likely quite behind your delivery date.I have too many things on my "to do" list from every issue. I try to forget about it so when it arrives in my mailbox it is a sweet surprise.
