Just a bit of practical sewing…
I am sure you have already met my two buddies – Simon (The Grey) and Sophie (The Skittish). As you can see, The Cats pretty much took over our old couch. So when we purchased a new one, I knew The Cat’s old habits would be very difficult to break, but I didn’t want my…

Did a run on the weekend…
so no sewing. Sad for the no sewing – Happy that I can still do 10 k without having a heart attack! I did post to The Monthly Stitch for their April Challenge though – Flower Power Two Fabrics, so if you have an interest in expanding your sewing community, or are curious, come on…

…just sneaking one in here…
Our weather has been quite windy here and we have already lost power once (no TV, no internet, NO SEWING!) so I thought I would just sneak one in here now that the power has come back on – before it goes off again! I was working on my Sewaholic Nicola. I am using a fabric…

It’s Done! Well almost…
My sister will be happy, another garment has been (almost) finished in what I’m calling my Sister’s Sewing Projects. This one is a vintage pattern from 1978, Simplicity 8510. It must be a favourite of my sister’s for her to keep it safe all this time. The fabric is a similar beige as in the pattern…
