E-wine to both of you!

Clever!

I do a lot of darning by using a small piece of soft interfacing ironed to the back, over the hole, and then I hand sew it with a matching thread making sure not to pull it too tight. A good press afterwards flattens things down.

Often it will just look like a slub in the fabric.

Ha! Thank you McStitch, pretty sure any yummy treats would not survive my sewing room in sufficient numbers to be presented as a gift.

I’ll have a peek at the Amy Butler also, thank you Robin!

Oooh, rotary blades are so super sharp, please do be very careful. I just use a seam ripper for everything. It’s a bit slower than ripping out an ordinary seam as there’s more thread, but it’s still just thread loops so the concept is the same. Have you got one of these things?

You’d never believe it, I swear  
But I’m sewing a bikini to wear
To swim at the pool
But I’m no bodies fool…
My shape will cause quite a scare!

The holiday season draws near

Jaimielaura: Yay! Congrats on your new toy!

Jaimielaura: I recently bought a Janome Coverpro 1000 CPX and love it. I’ve got several attachments to do elastic etc., but mostly only use it to do hems….which it does so professionally.
If you go to patternreview.com there is a section that reviews coverstitch machines so you can read what owners have to say.

Incredible, and thanks for the link to the site.

Slightly off topic but after 3 years of aggravation I have had my overlocker/coverstitch serviced and set to purely a coverstitch.

I really, really wish I had just gone with a coverstitch in the first place.

Thanks so much, ladies! She asked for a yoga ball, so I am figuring she does yoga — but if it’s for another exercise she can always give it to a friend, I’m sure.

I used to do yoga, sigh, I love the idea of a bag!
A bottle holder sounds fab, something with a elastic casing top to hold all sizes.
How about a ring attached to the inside to clip keys to?

I have a new nappy bag which has lots of mesh pockets on space dividers, it is fab as I can separate but see the contents.
