I’m afraid I haven’t made the size 2, but the size 4 fit my 5 year old really nicely. I had a peek and didn’t see any other size 2s in the pool. Might be good to note to measure the recipient’s head circ. in case a smaller or larger neck opening is needed.

Ha! Just turned my Firefly Jacket the right way out and had to do a happy dance for how those sleeves work. Very impressed!

Thank you sosew.

I am so grateful to Janice, Deb and Amanda, for organising the sew along.
Or Trixie would be wearing Hugo’s old coat.

Hurrah @sosew, you finished, well done.

Trixies is a bit big but as the wool is so soft, moulds about her and is definitely wearable!

On my fabric sits the cat
And there’s nothing wrong with that
She protects it, you see
‘Cept sometimes when she pees

@runciblespoon my pleasure!

Hilarious what autocorrect “thinks” the word should be! That’s funny.
So glad to hear you are regaining you sewjo.

I didn’t get a stitch of sewing done yesterday but today I will be in the sewing room to sew those bodysuits that I wanted to work on yesterday and if I am quick will get on with the puppet show tunic also.

This will clear the tray…[Read more]

Was feeling a bit off today so I sat the kids in front of the TV and retreated to the basement. Finished the boy’s sleepsack (just in time, it got cold again tonight) and sewed him a new pair of LTTS mittens out of the remaining fleece. My sewjo may be coming back!

(BTW, my autocorrect tried to change “sewjo” to “sewage.”)

I think it would be sweet! I know I make fun of it (bad childhood memories), but you’ll do it in the classiest way possible. Go for it!

I find this list so useful, thank you Kim!

I use it for a checklist and (dangerously) a shopping list too for all the ones I haven’t got and want!

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
It’s a difficult row I must hoe.

(I am not a good starter… but here’s my attempt).
