Ooh, those look great. I love her videos, she’s got this kind of funny, quirky way of talking about things.

I wasn’t sure what the difference was between the #8 and #9, looks like it’s length.

And oh, they are Japanese.

Kind of an amazing page, worth a look. I’ve never seen so much detail on needles before.

This was on my mind recently too. I thought there must be some kind of upgraded hand sewing needles. I found some at a Japanese fabric shop called Tulip brand (though I wonder whether they’re Korean as they had some specifically for pojagi, in addition to others).

I have a Juki and love it!

I have a Juki and love it!

After some more deliberation, I think I’ve decided.
Juki tl2000qi straight stitch,
Juki HZLf300 everything else machine,
And Juki MO654de overlocker. And I think I’ve found somewhere to test them out. 🙂

If I’m going with juki I might as well make it the full set!

The Hula Hoop skirt? With a knotted Sketchbook shirt?

I think once it hit Pinterest it went a bit crazy. The explore thing is a bit strange. The odd photo I have had ‘marked’ was not even particularly good.

I love it when people put up sizing and measurements, so helpful!

@jay 1965vw, you bet me to it! 🙂

I am so glad you have found a house, machines next.

I’ll join the Fibre Club! I do a bit of everything (except I’m really bad at photographing my projects). I’m knitting at the moment, finishing off a vintage pattern cardigan for myself. I embroider and needle turn applique to add detail to garments, and I crochet,mostly when I need it to finish the edges on my knitting, but I have made a granny…[Read more]

Funny you mention that, Robin, I think that’s why there was a lot of interest in my Cinema dress. It was one of the first ones and I listed my measurements in a fair amount of detail. I think folks intended to be complimentary when they called me brave, but why wouldn’t I? I guess I don’t think people necessarily refrain from posting that info out…[Read more]

Joining flicker was a New Year’s resolution for me in 2011. And I kept checking to see if anyone had looked at my stuff. It took awhile. Joining groups helped, and a few pieces have been profiled on blogs. I’m not a photographer. My most viewed item is the playtime tunic and leggings, photo taken at night and indoors. And it really makes me…[Read more]

We got a call yesterday to say we have a lease to sign for a house. Hooray! We need to get it checked by the embassy before we sign it, but hopefully we will sign it this evening and start the countdown before we move. We also need to find out where our shipment of stuff is – somewhere between here and Australia, but where?! 🙂

Sarvi- I’m having real trouble deciding. I was hoping to find dual voltage machines and take them home in three years, but none of the machines I like are dual… yet!
I’m currently looking at a juki tl2000 q, semi industrial high speed straight stitch, and a baby lock Laura overlocker. I’ll also need a machine for zigzag and buttonholes, but I…[Read more]
