skirt as top

@Rhythm, thank you!

In the mail, but they are not fancy ones. #9 sharps. 🙂

I agree, I made a large per my measurements and wore it a lot, pregnant, 😉

I made this tonight http://www.pinterest.com/pin/73676143879970347/, I doubled the recipe but used much much less oil and substituted tinned tomatoes for fresh and 1/3 cup curry powder for green chillies.

It was so yummy, everyone had seconds, even Tildy.

@Rhythm, could I use desiccated coconut?

Ooh, those look great. I love her videos, she’s got this kind of funny, quirky way of talking about things.

I wasn’t sure what the difference was between the #8 and #9, looks like it’s length.

And oh, they are Japanese.

Kind of an amazing page, worth a look. I’ve never seen so much detail on needles before.

The Hula Hoop skirt? With a knotted Sketchbook shirt?

I think once it hit Pinterest it went a bit crazy. The explore thing is a bit strange. The odd photo I have had ‘marked’ was not even particularly good.

I love it when people put up sizing and measurements, so helpful!

@jay 1965vw, you bet me to it! 🙂

I am so glad you have found a house, machines next.

Funny you mention that, Robin, I think that’s why there was a lot of interest in my Cinema dress. It was one of the first ones and I listed my measurements in a fair amount of detail. I think folks intended to be complimentary when they called me brave, but why wouldn’t I? I guess I don’t think people necessarily refrain from posting that info out…[Read more]

I have your lace to post (blush) I will whack some needles from Spotlight in there for you.

If it is any help, I didn’t cut my bias leg piece until I had sewed and gathered the legs, when I was checking.

I made another two Hopscotch’s, one more dress and a tee. I cut a Hopscotch skirt/Tea Party dress combo from some very soft linen/cotton fabric.
