Thank you @admin!

Sarvi. That’s the problem. I copy the Flickr link and try to past but it won’t work. It will paste into a browser or word doc. I even hand typed the link when I clicked the link link.

In any event the dog at the dress. Ate. It.

Christmas is five weeks away
I oughta start planning today
But I fear I cannot

Nothing to add, but that I’m applauding Todd for his rhyme. Nice one.

Making costumes for free is such fun
But the moment that I have begun
I wish that I hadn’t
Because I’m a pedant
For the direction, the faux fur, will run.

Tamara, I am sorry for your loss.

Helen, good luck with your sewing. You will love the Lullaby. We had a day out yesterday and Trixie is very unsettled so I am hand sewing with a baby on my boob.

It really is Becky.
I have to admit I made a mistake in my first version as I assumed I knew what I was doing (blush).
I have a soft spot for this dress, I look forward to seeing your version.

Sanga – sandwich
snag – sausage
loo – toilet

That’s hopefully remembering correctly – it’s been over 10 years since I’ve lived in AUS! I’ve had too many influences on my colloquial English over the years and now have a mishmash vocabulary (and a currently Chicago/Midwest accent). I find myself adopting the lingo of wherever I live, but for the…[Read more]

University is the place of higher learning at which you earn your degree (or not 😉 )
As per Sarvi there are schools for each area: Law school, veterinary science etc.
College is the hall of residence that you can choose to live at if you’re from out of town.
This may, or may not have been typed from the loo….

🙂 I love that feeling too Becky.
You can’t envisage where you’re going but you trust the instructions and it just works. The Croquet dress was definitely one of those for me.

Hmm… that link doesn’t work.

Do you see a ‘trash’ button, cybele? I dumped the one blank post for you. I think you just need to resize your image and re-upload, or else you can host it on flickr and link to that image.

I think like so? Sorry, didn’t have a sewing related pic in the first page of my flickr results and didn’t want to do the endless scroll thing. Max file…[Read more]

The school I went to is called a university, and within it are schools, grouped by discipline. So it’s the University of X, and has the Y Dental School, the Z Business School, etc. I think that’s common in the US, but don’t know if it’s standard. My Uk friends seem to have gone to Universities with colleges within them, but you can study for…[Read more]

Becky, is this your first?

If so, you will find yourself doing mad sewing until the wee hours saying… how clever this is! So ingenious!

And then when you try to make something from another pattern maker, you will be disgusted and find yourself digging out the instructions from this or that O+S pattern to show you how to do it better than…[Read more]

Hmmm. I can’t seem to get a link posted here. Apologies for the multiple postings.
