Hi Rachel, I just wanted to say how much I love reading your blog. Its incredibly inspirational, so well written and your work is second to none. Pure joy. I have a small ambition this year to be able to make the Olver + S Fairy tale dress by the end of this year... will see if it actually happens. (My daughter doesn't actually like wearing dresses :-( ..)
Much like you I anxiously anticipate the 2nd series of GBSB.. I have the book and its really encouraged me this year.
Any how, wishing you a very happy new year... and I cant wait to see what you make next !
Best regards, Georgina

Sorry I cannot help you with locating the basketball net nightstand and head board. The people who put together the Ideas House made them, I just visited the house and took photos. All the best to you.

Unfortunately I don't have a tutorial or pattern (I was just a visitor to the Ideas House and took photos). They did use runner fabric which is what's used for aisle runners for weddings, hope that helps :)

Dear Rachel - I've followed your blog for a long time! I love to sew for my 5-year-old daughter. On a different sewing blog, I noticed that you plan to make the Antoinette dress. I would like very much to use that pattern, but it seems difficult to get one's hands on it - has it been discontinued? In particular, I like the pockets.
Do you know where I can get the Antoinette pattern, or a tutorial for how to create those pockets?
Many thanks!
Jeannie

No problem if I need to pay for it.
Kind regards

I am interested in possibly using the Purple Party Dress pattern (drop waist jumper) to make an outfit for my Etsy shop. I am not positive that I will, but I am asking your permission to use this pattern in case I do decide to do this.

Jumper patterns -- that I like ;) -- are SO difficult for me to find!

Thank you so much.

Hi Rachel, I was looking for a contact email address for you but couldn't find one on your blog. Would you possibly email me? I want to talk about your 2011 Spring Ideas House post.

Hi Rachel, I was wondering if you'd be willing to sew something to sell? I saw your knock-off of the Marie Chantal dress and love it. Please let me know if there's a way I can reach you directly. Thank you

Hi Rachel, could you please tell me which pattern you used for the Scandinavian Christmas dress made with the place mat for the yoke?
My 3 year old Danish granddaughter will be with us for Christmas this year in Australia, and I would like to make one for her :)

Hi Rachel,
I am wanting to make the Lucia dress and your blog post does not include page 36 which has the collar. I would be most appreciative if you could email a photo of it to me.

Thanks!

Hi Rachel,

I love your blog.
Where can I find the tulle fabric / runner for that adorable pink tutu valance?

Or, can I buy this from someone who can make for me?

Thanks,
