Right, Shelley, I understand what you’re saying about different standards for print sizes, but I keep picturing what plans look like for even a simple building project — they easily run to thirty or forty pages. It seems counterintuitive that it would be 10x the cost to Australian builders, especially when you can’t fit as much information and…[Read more]

It’s time for my favourite show
But to the sewing room I surely must go
A project is waiting
With smocking and plaiting

Wow, this is beautiful! It must be so nice to pop in and sew for a while. Thanks for sharing!

Deepa, you are very welcome. I have admired your very snappy sons and your dear little girl in the Flickr pool.

Thank you for your kind comments, you have made my evening.

How lovely to have new people.

Ahhh, Shelley – you beat me to it – your average Aus print shop can’t print the large format sheets 🙁 – but as you say, taping the pages isn’t actually that big an issue – I do it while watching tv – I don’t sew at night any more, so this is a way I can do something sewing related and still be sociable.

We finished our attic conversion in January this year and in February I could finally move into my new sewing space. I put up some progress pictures on Flickr.

I also did a blog post on it here.

After having used it for almost a year I can truly say I love everything about it. I am a messy sewist though so the room is not this…[Read more]

Where in Australia are you? Try googling “reprographics [town name]” and see what that pulls up. I tried it with Sydney and Rapid Reprographics, Allied Reprographics, and Reiga Reprographics all came up on the first page of results. I’m sure if they couldn’t do it they could recommend another printer who could, who might not have the word…[Read more]

Awww! That makes me so happy! Ok, good to know, I shall forge ahead.

Definitely not tight on my girls. I have the blue silk tweed you sent Lidia set aside to make Trixie that very dress.

Checking in again with a lot of the same questions as above if anybody feels like taking a fresh crack at them.

I saw this last week (and the photo absolutely does not do it justice, in person it takes your breath away):

@kerrilyn – Nicole’s amazing huh? And she certainly is the perfect ambassador for O+S 🙂

And I agree that the sunny day shorts do make fab boxers – all mine have some (actually, my boys made their own)

As for the hot weather, I’m already a bit over it (are you in Sydney?)
