I completely agree Sarvi.

I made a Ice Cream dress for Tildy, for Christmas, and I added length. I *almost* added too much and spoilt the line.
I definitely made the pockets too low.

I can sew, but pattern drafting is way way out of my league. I will leave that to Liesl.

A blazer, what a good idea 😉

I do a little embroidery, I am not very good but I muddle along. I used to smock but I went off that.

I love silk embroidery thread and I like to press my threads before stitching with them.

I want to learn to knit so badly, that is on my sewing bucket list.

I think a wee boys outfit, hand made, top to toe would be perfectly adorable.

Thanks…[Read more]

Now I’ve made all the changes to the pattern I realise I don’t have enough of any of my knits to make the first go in 🙁

Thanks Sarvi! Look forward to sharing more (Indian) recipes!

Just had a peek — yum! My favorite soup uses kaffir leaves and galangal, your curry looks delicious and I love fresh spices.

I think even a lot of people who are not veg/vegan themselves are very interested in incorporating more vegetables. I look forward to checking your blog!

I’m in the process of trying to make the swoon cardigan fit my shape. The back piece is done, I’m nearly finished the side piece then just the centre front and sleeves to go. Each piece has at 3-4 mods on it and some have to be taken over all pieces! I hope it works as I bought some lovley drapey stretch lace when I was in Melbourne on the weekend…[Read more]

JWo I miss your blog.

I understitched a collar on the wrong side so instead of laying flat, it stands straight up!

Yes Sarvi, a knitters’ club would be great!
I’m overseas and away from my sewing machines again but have been quite productive with my knitting needles during these cold Italian evenings. The knitting is always a good time filler during long-haul flights plus you have something to show at the end of 24+ hours.

@LightningMcstitch, I WANT that feature!

I may or may not have done the same many times and if it was inseam just ‘reinforced’ it….
