There have been some really lovely raincoats made, I know @beachmom made a very professional one, as did @katybellabug.

I made one, for my son, using oilskin/dryzabone fabric. I couldn’t iron the seams so I used a tongue depresser and a bit of brute strength to ‘press’ the seams open.

Well it will be an interesting day of sewing for me today. We had a huge storm last night and it took our power so the generator has been going all night will be likely on all day aswell. We will test its limits with the iron and aircon aswell as machines to see how much it can stand.

@Jane, thank you!

Have you heard the Vinyl Cafe podcast, Dave Cooks the Turkey? It is so funny.

@katybellabug, I told you so!

@katybellabug, I told you so!

What a pain but clever you for finding a fix!

My little ones have enormous heads as babies (they almost need staking, like dahlias) I tend to do a head tug check before finishing off.

Absolutely, Happy Thanksgiving to those that celebrate it.

Is it a set day? Or like Mothers Day, it floats?

What a sweet sentiment, Thank you, and the same to everyone.

I’m afraid I haven’t made the size 2, but the size 4 fit my 5 year old really nicely. I had a peek and didn’t see any other size 2s in the pool. Might be good to note to measure the recipient’s head circ. in case a smaller or larger neck opening is needed.

Ha! Just turned my Firefly Jacket the right way out and had to do a happy dance for how those sleeves work. Very impressed!

Thank you sosew.

I am so grateful to Janice, Deb and Amanda, for organising the sew along.
Or Trixie would be wearing Hugo’s old coat.

Hurrah @sosew, you finished, well done.

Trixies is a bit big but as the wool is so soft, moulds about her and is definitely wearable!

On the top black band on the flicker page is the word (you),click that then click photostream. That will take you to a page with the pictures you posted.

On my fabric sits the cat
And there’s nothing wrong with that
She protects it, you see.

@runciblespoon my pleasure!

Hilarious what autocorrect “thinks” the word should be! That’s funny.
So glad to hear you are regaining you sewjo.

I didn’t get a stitch of sewing done yesterday but today I will be in the sewing room to sew those bodysuits that I wanted to work on yesterday and if I am quick will get on with the puppet show tunic also.

This will clear the tray…[Read more]
