This is also not a ‘broken’ but a usability question — would it be possible to modify the @ function so it uses the screen name rather than the profile name?

@motherof5 That is so funny about the steel wool! I would love to be part of a group like that. In junior high school (about age 12-14) that was the only class I did well in. Still love the smell of sawdust and the clang of tools.
@rhythmtyagi Wow, you must be so proud! I could hardly the back of your work from the front. And I bet it’s not only…[Read more]

Oh, you’re all so lovely. Thank you. It means a lot to me that you say this.
And yes, I think maybe it’s time to tackle that blazer you’ve all been requesting for such a long time now. I’ll see what I can do between the other projects I’ve got going on!

I would love to join a sewing group. I used to be in a furniture restoration group, we had a blast, scrubbing away with our steel wool.
Every now and then you would drop your steel wool in your wine instead of the metho. -

@Rhythm, I probably just murdered your favourite dish. 🙂

Ooh, that yarn is luscious!
I wish we all lived close enough for a stitch & word that rhymes with stitch. I have two ‘students’ right now (friends I’m helping with little things, really, they’re teaching themselves) and it’s so much fun to see somebody face light up when something clicks for them.
Reading is usually the best way for me to…[Read more]

Nicole replied to the topic What's for Tea Today, Mum? A cooking thread. in the forum Cooking and Baking 10 years ago
I am slightly nervous to share our tea tonight as it is very much ‘nursery nourishment’ but my children love it, so I shall.
Curry in a hurry
Brown two large chopped onions in some oil, stirring occasionally.
Put water on to boil a dozen eggs. Hard boil, chill, peel and chop up, set aside.While the onion wass cooking I diced a cold cooked…[Read more]

I completely agree Sarvi.
I made a Ice Cream dress for Tildy, for Christmas, and I added length. I *almost* added too much and spoilt the line.
I definitely made the pockets too low.I can sew, but pattern drafting is way way out of my league. I will leave that to Liesl.
A blazer, what a good idea 😉

I do a little embroidery, I am not very good but I muddle along. I used to smock but I went off that.
I love silk embroidery thread and I like to press my threads before stitching with them.
I want to learn to knit so badly, that is on my sewing bucket list.
I think a wee boys outfit, hand made, top to toe would be perfectly adorable.
Thanks…[Read more]

Sarvi started the topic Fiber Club! in the forum off topic 10 years ago
I know a lot of people here are into knitting, crochet, embroidery, and other complementary-to-sewing crafts. I thought it might be fun to have a little nook of our own.
Some of my favorite knitting patterns are from Brooklyn Tweed, so when they finally came out with a children’s collection I was thrilled. I’ve made one cardigan already and was…[Read more]

I was thinking about this earlier today, and aside from all the stuff we usually talk about — the fine finishes, the quality of instruction, etc. — the thing that really makes O+S stand out to me is the eye for proportion. With the exception of adding a small amount of length to get extra months of wear from patterns I know will work that way…[Read more]

Just had a peek — yum! My favorite soup uses kaffir leaves and galangal, your curry looks delicious and I love fresh spices.
