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.

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]

I can tell you what I do, I am not sure if it is the proper way.
Lay your garment out and let it relax. Trace the pattern piece on to the garment, a sharpie is good.
Try snipping somewhere, not needed, on the garment and see how fast it unravels. If it is not too bad, cut and sew promptly. If it frays a lot, cut, zigzag edges first and then sew…[Read more]

@mkhs – We discussed a similar option, but felt like the under shirt needed to be more fitted, plus that would involve 2 pieces { we are slow and somewhat lazy if there is a quicker way – ha! 🙂 } @Nicole you make it sound so simple! We plan to give it a try while crossing our fingers. . .and toes. . .and legs! THANK YOU both for your help!

The plan is to stick the feet up whenever possible. I just have to figure out how I can do that while I am sewing!

We are keeping the kids home today due to our very late night last night but it is not going to stop me from sewing. I want to keep going on the jacket and then get on with the cut out things sitting and waiting patiently.

You know it is funny, Nicole. She said to me last night that the happiest thing that happened today (yesterday) was the fact that we had finally embraced her and accepted her. I don’t know why she thought there was animosity because there certainly wasn’t. It was just disappointment at the speedy action from fil to jump from losing a wife straight…[Read more]

A few years back, Liesl gave us the tip of reversing the nap of cord so it is more velvety and lush.
Her is a perfect example of how good it looks https://www.flickr.com/photos/128353028@N04/15215509103/in/pool-oliverands/

The fabric almost glows.
