I might be a nerd but I actually love the ‘sausage’ posts. I actually think this is one of things about food blogging that is so interesting — every time Deb Perelman posts on Smitten Kitchen she gets 300 questions about why do you do this? what happens if I do that? and you start to understand the dish and the process really differently than if…[Read more]

Like Nicole says, it’s always best to check if you’re using a new pattern.
This is probably more information about how the sausage is made than you want to know, but what the heck. If you’re interested in a behind-the-scenes look, keep reading.
All our patterns are developed and grading using ASTM children’s clothing sizing standards. The…[Read more]

That is so fascinating about the ASTM children’s clothing standards, @todd. Does a similar standard exist for adult patterns?
-
@kahawa101, yes adult versions of the standards exist too.

Well I wouldn’t use the pattern I did! I managed it but it was a chore. Here it is: https://www.flickr.com/photos/64920483@N03/15280869470/
I would like to see how the Amy Butler one works out, the style is lovely.

Thanks Nicole!
I did put a drawstring in my hood, and am so thankful. I can walk into the wind and rain and that hood doesn’t budge! I can cinch the drawstring in with a toggle and it holds it nice and tight.
I wish I had put an internal pocket in mine as I am always a bit worried about my phone getting wet.
I agree about the topstitching and…[Read more]

We get it on UKTV through foxtel but the second series hasn’t been advertised yet. Maybe it will be our turn next year.

It goes over the head okay?

Nicole replied to the topic Raincoat? in the forum off topic 9 years ago
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.
Someone, recently commented that they wished they put a draw…[Read more]

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.
I didn’t sew yesterday, instead I was sick on returning from…[Read more]

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

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!
