@roundtheworldgirl Masha, that is upsetting to hear! It sounds like you did the right thing though. There will always be people out there with less than savoury intentions. Flickr doesn’t seem to be the place to go with photos as much as it used to be. I use Instagram more now and like that I can make it completely private except to those I add. I…[Read more]

I “thrifted” an old orange chair
The seat and the arms are threadbare
The legs are still good
They’re made of Dogwood

thejennigirl I am so sorry for your loss.

@justsewit I hope Murray is doing better. I enjoyed your photos of your girls on Flickr. It sounds like school is going so well for Imogen, illness notwithstanding. Hope she is feeling better.

@dubhels2003 I always find clean slates to be exhilarating. Hope this change brings great things for you.

Call me a cab ‘cuz I’m late
Once again there’s too much on my plate
A skirt and some pants
To wear to a dance
And a new dress – perhaps Roller Skate!

Two of my younger siblings got engaged over the holidays and are planning fall weddings – my four children and my niece and nephew will be in the weddings. I will be sewing two sets of three flower girls’ dresses and hopefully just the one set of three Art Museum ensembles that the boys will wear for both.

Once again there’s too much on my plate
A skirt and some pants

There’s nothing that I would like more

Lend a hand to a mate
Who is learning to skate
Ice dancing in Spain I adore!

Have a look at Titchy Threads patterns. The Small Fry skinny jeans should tick all your boxes.
I haven’t made them up, but I have made the Twisted Trousers which have pocket with pocket bag coin pocket etc and excellent instructions. I made them in denim and they’ve been great looking jeans.
Based on that pattern, I’m sure the jeans pattern could…[Read more]

For the record: If you accidentally trace the size 10 waistband and facing, don’t try and attach it to the size 5 shorts. Doh.
Stuff up resolved.

The big navy back to school sewathon was going great guns, but now I’ve had a stuff up.
Somehow, the front waistband of my Class Picnic shorts was too big. My fabric had a bit of stretch, so I made it fit. Doh. Big, sticky out wavy waistband.
It will need to be unpicked, shortened, and reattached.
Tomorrow.
Nit sure where I went wrong. I’m usually…[Read more]
