That sounds very painful Heidi! Just rest up and make sure you are on the mend. Take care of the injury and hopefully you can trace patterns later in the week. Do you have anything to rub on the site to ease the pain?

I don’t think I’ll be sewing for a week or so 🙁 I’ve managed to pull something in my hip on our Christmas camping trip and am on rest and crutches. Maybe later in the week I’ll be able to sit at the table and trace patterns.

I’ve been dreaming about an Oliver and S Moto jacket!

Well, the sewing drought is now over (for now). I have just been spending some time this morning, sewing the little blue hopscotch skirt in size 12-18 months for Chloë. I started this before Murray’s accident so it has been waiting on the sewing table for much longer than the usual length of time.

How did you go Rosemary? Are you on your way again?

finally the photos I have wanted to take for about 3 months — on her, a repurposed black-on-white eyelet made into an Apple-picking dress (with a single-breasted placket, I didn’t have enough); on him, Field trip raglan with 3/4 sleeves in bamboo knit, and Field Trip pants in black mini-corduroy.

My pleasure, @ellenmcm was the hero here!
Happy sewing.

Thank you too Nicole! I’m off to check out the link you posted.

Yay @angelwingneedlearts, I am so pleased.
Three inches would be no problem at all, I added that to a swish little black hanky linen version.

Yes! You have been an amazing help! Thank you for taking the time. 😀
Now hopefully it’s smooth sailing for me the rest of the way. Thank you again!
