Hurrah @sosew, you finished, well done.

Trixies is a bit big but as the wool is so soft moulds about her and is definitely wearable!

On my fabric sits the cat
And there’s nothing wrong with that
She protects it, you see.

@runciblespoon my pleasure!

Hilarious what autocorrect “thinks” the word should be! That’s funny.
So glad to hear you are regaining you sewjo.

I didn’t get a stitch of sewing done yesterday but today I will be in the sewing room to sew those bodysuits that I wanted to work on yesterday and if I am quick will get on with the puppet show tunic also.

This will clear the tray…[Read more]

I find this list so useful, thank you Kim!

I use it for a checklist and (dangerously) a shopping list too for all the ones I haven’t got and want!

Right, Shelley, I understand what you’re saying about different standards for print sizes, but I keep picturing what plans look like for even a simple building project — they easily run to thirty or forty pages. It seems counterintuitive that it would be 10x the cost to Australian builders, especially when you can’t fit as much information and…[Read more]

Deepa, you are very welcome. I have admired your very snappy sons and your dear little girl in the Flickr pool.

Thank you for your kind comments, you have made my evening.

How lovely to have new people.

And so I was curious to try again…
an online search finds lots of reprographic shops in my large capital city. Most of which are only listed as a business directory listing and would need a phone call to see what they can do. About a dozen had websites. Most of them only offered A3 or A2 at biggest. One or two offered A0.
Eventually I found one…[Read more]

@Sarvi, the problem is that the largest standard paper size in Australia is what’s known as A0 which, in inches, measures 33.1×46.8
(link: http://www.papersizes.org/a-paper-sizes.htm)
There are some PDF’s which might print fine on that if you check first that they don’t go beyond about 33″ of the intended 36″ print. But plenty of others would lose…[Read more]

Where in Australia are you? Try googling “reprographics [town name]” and see what that pulls up. I tried it with Sydney and Rapid Reprographics, Allied Reprographics, and Reiga Reprographics all came up on the first page of results. I’m sure if they couldn’t do it they could recommend another printer who could, who might not have the word…[Read more]

Awww! That makes me so happy! Ok, good to know, I shall forge ahead.

Definitely not tight on my girls. I have the blue silk tweed you sent Lidia set aside to make Trixie that very dress.

Checking in again with a lot of the same questions as above if anybody feels like taking a fresh crack at them.

I saw this last week (and the photo absolutely does not do it justice, in person it takes your breath away):

Aaaand…. we’re back! I actually uploaded some photos to the flickr group after quite a drought! Nothing fancy just some half made things and some things that I made months ago. But it is good to catch up and stop lagging behind for once.

I am going to upload the things I completed yesterday next so stay tuned.

Today though, I am waiting for…[Read more]
