My Ever Changing Sewing Room!
I was asked in my Facebook Group, Lányos Handmade Pattern Party, what kind of sewing table I use. So, of course, I wondered if anyone here was curious too? I used to use a small folding wheeled cabinet, which was actually perfect for a long, long time. I think I have been using that ever…

Just ONE more sewing machine … a review of the Janome HD3000
I used my Janome 3160QDC (my baby) during my last bag making session. It worked well with a Jeans needle, but there was an “oh oh” moment when my machine was going through a few particularly thick layers of fabric and fleece and it made a strange “whirring” noise.

The Rosie© bag

My babies….

Diving into knits! Part Two
Back on schedule again! Perhaps some of you remember my other “Diving into knits” post? I have been using McCall’s 4261. I sewed up my red T shirt, it was such an easy pattern to put together, but I think now it might be too nice to workout in! Now on to my blue yoga…
