I’ve had to sew standing up and my body disliked it immensely. I suppose one could stand while knitting, too.

The new look is great! The text box is easier to manipulate. Let’s see about bold italic and

This brings up a really good point. I wonder what the proper ergonomics are for standing and sitting sewing.

Hey, looking good! Going to bed now, but tomorrow will be fun!

It is lovely looking at all the pictures of beautiful craft rooms online, but I have been reflecting that having a comfortable space with table and chair at the right height is massively more important than a beautiful vintage office chair (sigh, the beautiful 150s one will just have to stay lusted over on ebay!).

Welcome Kahawa! If you can wrangle costume satin then making pants with drill and Oliver and S instructions should be doable 🙂
I didn’t end up adding the lace for this one but I have lined it with a small floral and used red and yellow together for top stitching. I’m up to sewing the side seams.

Becky I made a weekend getaway dress in some crazy fine sheer fabric and no way could I staystitch (or stitch anywhere too close to an edge for that matter). I used 1/4″ strips of very lightweight fusible interfacing within the seam allowance and that worked perfectly.
