I wish you the best for making the scarves sewsoslow. A community effort such as this one would be valued beyond belief to the recipients I am sure.

Being exhausted from the week’s events, I managed to get the placket done only on the Cape Ann bodysuit, despite it being the wrong one. I plan to make a shirt to go with the little mauve coloured…[Read more]

I’m so glad you’ve got this sorted @meleliza. I have to confess that whenever I see a thread about PDFs with your name on it, I have to look. Kind of like watching motor racing for the crashes.
(please don’t take that unkindly, I genuinely sympathise with your frustration too).
I wish it was so easy down under. Our largest standard paper size is…[Read more]

WendyS, we would love to see it but…. I can’t see it here at least. Perhaps it was uploaded onto the flickr group page?

Just got back from the usual Saturday routine of swimming lessons. Having a little veg out time before going to do some much needed sewing.

I discovered a bishop style angel top this morning that has not yet been smocked so I…[Read more]

“I am the mother of the flower girl!” Hahaha, that is awesome, and should totally be a thing!

I confess, I would not feel comfortable with that level of matchy with my daughter, but to each their own! I am still scarred by my childhood in the 1980s. Nuff said.

Polartec Power Stretch fabric is awesome! That’s what all my winter running clothes are made from.;)

I saw footage last night on the news. Having a huge dumping of snow would be like having floods here – complete disaster!

I pray for the families of those that have lost their lives. It would be very tragic to lose someone just because of a huge downfall of snow.

But it is wonderful to see such community spirit with the help each other is…[Read more]

Hilarious! Meleliza I don’t think it is too corny because you are using elements that are the same not dressing exactly alike, right?

I think it will be a very sweet tribute to the day and event.

It is indeed very cute Becky. I have made one in a knit and one in a woven and the knit is worn ten times more often. In fact I haven’t seen the woven one since I made it! I think I will dig it out of her wardrobe to recycle because the fabric is so nice.

I was pretty much knackered yesterday so did alot of sitting. During that time I actually…[Read more]

If it’s an issue with a place not being able to print just one page of a PDF, you can always split the file and send just the page(s) that are the large format sheets.

I do this with the full version of Adobe Acrobat. It has the option of deleting pages in a PDF. Save the file under a new name and delete all pages but the last.

I haven’t tried…[Read more]

They’re desperately trying to truck out the snow as much as possible so the melting won’t be too bad. But when you are talking numbers in the 100s of thousands of tons, it just won’t happen soon enough. For example, the football stadium has approximately 220,000 tons sitting in it currently. They have only successfully plowed and trucked out…[Read more]

Thanks Deb! You’re the best, and I’m impressed that you didn’t “work blue” with that one!

There once was a quilter named Lizzy
But quilting was making her dizzy

Not a pattern as such, but you know it could be done with the LTTS mittens.
I’m imagining a glove a bit like a golf or cycling glove with the keyhole shaped cut out on the back of the hand.
Instead of doing an elastic casing as per the pattern you could make the wrist part of the mitten a bit shorter.
Then chop out a curve from the back of the…[Read more]

It sounds like some good has come from this difficult time re the MIL. I am happy to hear it and perhaps there will be less stress for you.

Here we are on day 4 of school cancellations, government cancellations, court cancellations. While our half of the region got almost no snow, the teachers live scattered across the region and are still in…[Read more]
