I love racer backs, all my favorite tops and dresses have them. I find that if I situate my straps appropriately they barely show, but I wouldn’t care if they did. I do have a little clip thingy that hooks on the straps between the shoulder blades for fancier affairs at which visible straps might be a faux pas.

scgoble replied to the topic What are you sewing now? in the forum off topic 8 years ago
I’m sewing nothing! We are moving this summer and I had to pack away all the sewing machines and supplies to make the apartment more palatable to buyers who dont consider that stuff reasonable decor. Can you imagine?! 😉 I made the mistake of ordering two things from Spoonflower knowing that I couldn’t do anything with them. So now they’re just…[Read more]

scgoble replied to the topic My iron is dead in the forum off topic 8 years ago
I have a Rowenta and I hate it. It has leaked almost since day 1. I’m of the opinion that if I pay $100 for an iron, it shouldn’t need “hacks” or coddling to do what I need it to do. The next one I buy will be a gravity feed, which means I’ll be sticking with this damn Rowenta until we get a new home with enough space for such a thing.
The…[Read more]

scgoble replied to the topic Sewing for a seven year old in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 8 years ago
I agree with Tamara and Jill that getting her input is the key to success. This is a difficult time for me in sewing for my 7 because she is very specific in what she wants, and she isn’t interested in anything she considers even remotely stuffy or formal. That translates mostly as no woven fabrics; almost everything in her closet is knit…[Read more]

scgoble replied to the topic Your most-viewed project on Flickr? in the forum off topic 9 years ago
This is great. My top four images are of Washi dresses, which are just all around hideous. I guess they’re not inherently that ugly but they looked like potato sacks on me and were donated to Goodwill long ago. My most “favorited” image is a pair of Puppet Show shorts in linen with a big bow on the waistband. I loved those little shorts so much,…[Read more]

scgoble replied to the topic Go To Bed! in the forum off topic 9 years ago
I just wanted to jump in here and say that I’ve probably never slept through the night without being medicated. I’m just not a good sleeper. I didn’t sleep when I was a kid either; I was always worried about one thing or another. Fortunately for my parents I was also a very stoic child so I never got up and bothered them. 😉
Anywho, have you…[Read more]

Thread Paintings: Densely Embroidered Portraits by Cayce Zavaglia
I saw this article this morning via Amy Pohler’s Smart Girls website (which incidentally you should really check out, esp. if you have young girls). Can you imagine the patience it would take to create such a work?! I think I might…[Read more]

I wear these kind of leggings almost every day – I’m wearing them right now! Hopefully the attached will show you what the two sides of the fabric look like. I did a quick search and found yardage here: http://www.nancysnotions.com/product/kelly+polartec+power+stretch+fabric.do

It looks like we will have to wait until the broadcast is finished – I can’t view it here in the US on bbc.co.uk or YouTube. I’ll have to schedule a little reminder to look it up later!

scgoble replied to the topic Craftsy recommendation, anyone? in the forum off topic 11 years ago
I’ve not gone through the whole class but I learned more in the first 10 minutes of the couture sewing class with Susan Khaljie (sp?) than I ever knew about sewing. Many of the techniques are not ones that I use on a regular basis – it is couture after all – but just watching her work is fascinating to me. There is also a Sew-Along knit class that…[Read more]

I think what I like most about it is that it’s such a good-natured sort of competition. No fake drama. At least, not what I have seen!
