I’ve made a head start (seeing as I put a child to work – she wants to have so much homework this year to get out of doing dishes – every kids dream escape plan) and am back to the usual on the dishes anyway. The laundry is another story!

We can hit the machines together @justsewit.

@lattemama, that sounds amazing. I did some screen printing at school and loved it. I still have my carved lino prints somewhere…. I was heavily influenced by Margaret Preston.

I understand where you are coming from MC. My husband has offered me his office and he will move to the children’s office/my sewing room but then I will be shut away and probably get less chance to sew.

I actually sewed today, so excited about that. It is two weeks since I had my surgery but it knocked me for six.

Hip hip hooray the power has been restored – and I have the all clear from the doc!

I love all of them and the dress is fantastic! I wonder how that will go for nursing? I am suspecting it would be easy to adapt.

They won’t be ready for Easter will they?

Sometimes I really hate living in the bush! We have had no power since Monday night 9pm. The generator threw a wobbly when we tried to wash dishes (using the machine) and has been touchy ever since. One air conditioner going flat out and we are all sent to bed at 7.30 so we can have cool bedrooms!

Aching for the power to return so that I can do…[Read more]

I second Joi’s classes. They may be a little confusing to start with (if you are used to the other methods of altering patterns) but they will make a heap of sense when practise and apply the method to fit your body. I actually get better results now than before.

Have you checked to see whether Shaukat will deliver to India? They don’t charge VAT when shipping elsewhere.

I have a jacket just like that one that I bought in my early 20’s. It doesn’t fit anymore but I refuse to let go of it. As I remember it wasn’t cheap! Maybe now I could make a new one.
