I’m back to working on the purple school days coat. It’s going to be very warm and cosy, courduroy, interlined with think fleece and a satin lining!

Welcome, Renee! I believe my grandma made most of her family’s clothes on one of those, and the motion was very hypnotic.

Don’t worry, you’ll get the hang of driving soon. I’m told that it’s the right turns that are trickiest, my friends who made the switch kept hitting the curb at first.

I’ve been having a lot of fun trying to sew as much as I can from my stash while I save up a bit for a trip to a friend’s wedding. Lodging in NY is just so expensive! And a chef…[Read more]

I’ve finished up the first of four gifts, and the next two should be pretty quick sews. I’m doing a lot of swatching for the fourth since I want to incorporate a few different small details I’ve been really liking.

Good thinking Heidi 🙂
I don’t have any fleece (very very limited stash of just the fabric I am planning to use very soon). If we go out I may get some. I’m still not driving though – I haven’t been brave enough to try driving on the wrong side of the car/road yet.

I have an old treadle in my sitting room, I keep a block of wood under the foot pedal to stop the babies pinching their fingers. 🙂

Got to make the 3-6 month size in the lullaby layette asap! Only 8 weeks old and bursting out of them already. Too late! Baby girl is summoning!

No doubt you will settle in very well – especially if you have sewing friends nearby. Or even non sewing ones – amazing how such a skill can network to one’s advantage.

How exciting to have your machines! Maybe you’d better sew some fleece as it doesn’t need ironing as you sew 🙂
