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

On my fabric sits the cat
And there’s nothing wrong with that
She protects it, you see.

@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).

The question to ask is if the shop has a plotter that prints from a 36″-wide roll of paper.

These are standard printers made by major manufacturers like Canon and Epson. They will print on sheets of paper, but that’s where you run into problems with size trying to print a pattern sheet.

It could be that employees just assume you want it on a…[Read more]

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.

However, if you know an architect or an…[Read more]
