That’s a pretty good amount of stretch — would you be able repurpose it into a regular Seashore if it didn’t work out as a closure-free version?

Did everybody hear that? That was me popping a bottle of champagne — I have some wool and silk tweed I’ve been saving for this since 2011, no joke!

What a great find!

This one is designed to have a pretty slim silhouette. What age is the child and how much stretch does your fabric have? I imagine an older child could shimmy into it but it might be a bit of a struggle. When you say stretch, are you thinking of a woven with some stretch? Or a knit? Could you use snaps (the kind you sew in) or velcro to make a…[Read more]

This is also not a ‘broken’ but a usability question — would it be possible to modify the @ function so it uses the screen name rather than the profile name?

@motherof5 That is so funny about the steel wool! I would love to be part of a group like that. In junior high school (about age 12-14) that was the only class I did well in. Still love the smell of sawdust and the clang of tools.

@rhythmtyagi Wow, you must be so proud! I could hardly the back of your work from the front. And I bet it’s not only…[Read more]

Ok, so in my head I’ve started shopping for blazer fabric. Wool for the first one, some corduroy, velvet, denim, seersucker, tweed with leather patches… It’s going to be fun.

It’s funny isn’t it Tamara? I couldn’t have children, (too many fibroids, no where for an egg to implant) somehow got pregnant, had far too many complications, was told I miscarried, delivered a healthy baby girl and marvelled at the wonder of it all. And yet when the doctor told me not to have more children I was devastated. Which seems…[Read more]

Oh, you’re all so lovely. Thank you. It means a lot to me that you say this.

And yes, I think maybe it’s time to tackle that blazer you’ve all been requesting for such a long time now. I’ll see what I can do between the other projects I’ve got going on!

I would love to join a sewing group. I used to be in a furniture restoration group, we had a blast, scrubbing away with our steel wool.
Every now and then you would drop your steel wool in your wine instead of the metho.

@Rhythm, I probably just murdered your favourite dish. 🙂

Ooh, that yarn is luscious!

I wish we all lived close enough for a stitch & word that rhymes with stitch. I have two ‘students’ right now (friends I’m helping with little things, really, they’re teaching themselves) and it’s so much fun to see somebody face light up when something clicks for them.

Reading is usually the best way for me to…[Read more]
