Sarvi started the topic Fiber Club! in the forum off topic 11 years ago

I know a lot of people here are into knitting, crochet, embroidery, and other complementary-to-sewing crafts. I thought it might be fun to have a little nook of our own.

Some of my favorite knitting patterns are from Brooklyn Tweed, so when they finally came out with a children’s collection I was thrilled. I’ve made one cardigan already and was…[Read more]

Sarvi started the topic Oliver + S appreciation in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 11 years ago

I was thinking about this earlier today, and aside from all the stuff we usually talk about — the fine finishes, the quality of instruction, etc. — the thing that really makes O+S stand out to me is the eye for proportion. With the exception of adding a small amount of length to get extra months of wear from patterns I know will work that way…[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]

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.

Jay, I hope you adjust soon. What an adventure.

Jenny, enjoy your sewing space. I hope young Missy (Gigi? love that name) likes her new room.

Dubhels I would probably leave it. There’s a whole tribe of long stitch is best sewers out there, or I’d just stitch over with a shorter stitch length. Not that I’ve ever done that…. certainly not often enough to have a contingency plan already in place. 🙂

What I’d love is a sewing machine that made a beeping sound like a reversing truck when…[Read more]
