Hope all goes well Tamara, your comment about his limited range of movement pre and post surgery reminded me of an old Spike Milligan joke:
To paraphrase: “Doc, when the cast comes off, will I be able to play the violin?… Yes?…. Wonderful, I never could before”
The last time I was reminded of that joke was when I had a 9 week old baby about to…[Read more]

I’m so sorry, I have hardly had the opportunity to sit and tap out an update. The week has been a very busy one.

Murray is recovering but it will be slow going. He had surgery on Thursday and the surgeons were happy with the way everything went. He had to have a nerve block in his neck😱 Which along with the other very strong medication made him…[Read more]

Oh @justsewit I am so sorry to hear all this. Farm work is so important and dangerous. Would that I knew a way to help from across the world.

Thank you for the back up @enbee 🙂
@gretam it is my absolute pleasure.

I have two bags to make over the school hol’s. I will be in touch, Heidi, I am sure.

I have finished Matilda’s turn on the rota and I am on to Lidia. First up, a Sketchbook shirt with the Mandarin collar in Liberty.

The school year has finished for us. We had our Presentation Night, Thursday night and it was a huge success.

Matilda was deliciously bouncy, dancing in her classes Beach Boy medley. Her neon Class Picnic set was just the job.

I don use them anymore. I did realise that the notches on the back flap match the notches but not the edge of the bag bit. I’ll try and member to get a picture using the notches for the next bag 🙂

I just sewed this recently, and trimmed only from the bottom hem.It worked perfectly.

Heidi you’re a machine! I’ve just completed one and feel so glad to be done with it.
I was thinking of you as I sewed, though… I forgot about the side notches being out on the large pattern. Do you use them at all, or just ease the corners of the back panel onto the bag?

I bought fabric to make at least 4 more messenger bags, this time I bought Star Wars fabric for added contrast! And it was my last day of work for the year I have a number of weeks ahead of me to hopefully sew 🙂
