    I have a Tefal iron also but it is a replacement one from my original because our roof came off when my eldest was a baby and so it was replaced on insurance.

    My mum has the very old irons as door stops – you know the kind that had to be heated on the stove? I woukd hate to go back in time and use the “innovative” gadgets of the day. I totally…[Read more]

    I have a Rowenta I use dry with a spray bottle.

    When I saw this topic, first I said oh no! Then I laughed, giggled even. Where else on earth does someone post about a dead iron and get sympathy?!

    My kids wear interlock at night and our house is about 65f at night.

    I have 6 in a clutches in production. I am doing it assembly line style. I love that little bag. I have 4 done and my closest friend wants 10 for gifts.

    I’m suddenly feeling holiday pressure. But we’re accelerated because we are going on vacation from 12/15-12/20. Yikes!

  • I would suspect they’re looking at the page size of a page OTHER than the last page. You shouldn’t need to do anything to that pattern sheet except print it as is.
    From all reports the ease of printing at a copy shop depends entirely on the staff member who serves you.
    Good luck

  • Oh no @jwo

    I made Trixie a gorgeous white Hopscotch nightie yesterday which will stay pristine as I used a too firmer knit and it won’t go over her head.
    Le sigh.

    I love flannelette pj’s. Amy Butler flannel is amazing. I have some jammies that are onto their third owner.

    I finished Beatrix’s ‘go’ on my rota, on to Matilda, starting with a Jumprope school dress.

    I love my (two) Tefal irons. They get nice and hot with lots of steam. I kill irons and this brand has lasted the longest.

  • Oh @jwo what a bummer. The skirt I saw on Instagram was awesome. I’m sure you’ve applied for extensions on work before, right? 😉

  • About a month ago, I was sewing and my needle got stuck and wouldn’t come up. The needle broke in the bobbin mechanism. Thankfully it was an easy fix by the shop.

    But I am back in the sewing saddle and cross my fingers I haven’t done anything truly stupid!! :).

    Wow. This sounds wonderful. I hope it works out for you.

    We’ve gone from a balmy 60 to expecting some light wet snow over a 72 hour period. This is the way of our fall.

    Our meeting went well with the principal. Our daughter is being switched after winter break. I’m even more certain after she said some offhand things in the car today. It…[Read more]

    Well, it was just so nice to sleep in my own bed and have a decent night’s sleep after the past few days of being away.

    We had an amazing introduction to life at our new school. The interview was wonderful. The new Principal is a great asset.

    The parent information evening was fantastic! We weren’t sitting there listening to head’s of…[Read more]

    We’re currently living in Columbus Ohio having moved here earlier in the year from Australia. While it’s really cold outside the house is very warm and my daughter finds flannelette much too warm, she just doesn’t seem to get cold. We’re going to be in NYC for Xmas too and I’m planning to just pack knit pjs.

    Sherry, I should think flannelette would be perfect!
