I hadn’t heard about this–sounds very interesting! Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for posting. xo

Well, it looks like I made a spelling error. So, for catching it, @lightningmcstitch, you have to take the next line:

This denim it just will not stretch
When I wear it I feel I must retch

I’m calling for clarification on that one @todd …
“wretch” (noun) a poor, miserable person.
“retch” (verb) to gag or vomit
“wrench” (verb) to twist and pull
I’m guessing, from context, you were going for wrench… Poetic license bring what it is, and this being a limerick thread on a sewing forum, you can make up any word/meaning you like of…[Read more]

@lisamm We have booked tickets, I am glad to hear this!
Thank you.

My daughter will only wear pink
With tulle and sequins I think
I’ve tried purple And red

I had an intersting and rather scary journey home from spending the weekend in the city with my daughter who is away at school.

Oooh that sounds lovely Nicole @motherof5!

I just finished a denim jacket each for my two girls. We’re all thrilled (yes even the baby!)

I took a basket of half mades to Perth with me and didn’t get much done so I am catching up.

@cammipatterson welcome! So glad you introduced yourself. It is great to read a bit about everyone and their story.

Please show us the metro t shirt dresses when you’ve made them so we can all celebrate your efforts. It is nice to have a visual record for future reference too.

Looking forward to reading about what you are sewing.
