Fiber Club! 10 years agoAs an example of everything that’s wrong with knitting: I started a shawl project at the beginning of the soccer season (I can’t lug my sewing machine to the field, after all) and it was close to finished, so I motivated myself to finish it off. Lovely pink Tosh yarn, pretty pattern with lots of excellent reviews on ravely, not too hard, not too…[Read more]

Fiber Club! 10 years agoA month’s worth of weekends (including some days of 40C in Adelaide) has seen me finish 3 quilt tops. The must do content were a tablecloth/lap quilt, and a single bed quilt for my aunt/godmother who turn 88 in May. I’ve made many quilts during the last 10-15 years, but haven’t worked on any for a year. So I’m very pleased to have these projects…[Read more]

Cooking and Baking 10 years agoDoes anyone have a favorite Bombay potatoes recipie? Hubby had some at a restaurant that also had chickpeas included. We’ve been trying to reproduce it and had some great dinners but still haven’t found a favorite.

Cooking and Baking 10 years agoHas anybody got a good recipe for almond cookies? I’m looking for the ‘Chinese’ kind that I used to see in pink paper boxes, with a whole almond pressed into the top. Not sure how authentic they are!

Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 10 years agoHi there, I’m very new to embroidery and heirloom sewing. At the moment I’m trying to do my first piece of pleated smocking, does anyone know of any good video tutorials on simple smocking stitches for beginners… I’ve had no luck with YouTube??
-
@kateclemens What about these… http://www.infinitefreedom.com/free-smocking-lessons/
They look simple and straightforward – and are for basic smocking stitches!!
-
I don’t know about any video tutorials but I do know that if you pick up a copy of the A-Z of Smocking, you can’t go wrong! I also know that if you live in the US, a SAGA chapter might also help. I’m in Australia but have been a SAGA member and they have online courses etc – but first things first, you need to know some little ins and outs of…[Read more]

Cooking and Baking 10 years agoMy new chooks are laying a dozen a day so I am making a lot of quiche type things. I fry up onions, garlic and chilli as a base and today added chicken breast, bacon and mushrooms. When that was crispy I poured over a dozen eggs beaten with 1/2 cup milk and a little SR flour blended in. Sprinkled with cheese and put the pan in the oven.
Served…[Read more]

justsewit replied to the topic Using Tucks in O+S Patterns in the forum
Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 10 years agoI would say that you wouldn’t actually fold the fabric as per you would ordinarily to get the result because the tucks moght end up a bit off. Would trace the pattern on the fold but not cut it on the fold in order to get the full piece and then work from there to determine where to put my tucks.
This is just how I would do it.
