I expect some of you will recognise my user name. I haven't done any sewing for the last 3 years or so following a serious illness which knocked the stuffing clean out of me. However I became a Grandma last December and I am getting the urge to sew little girl's clothes, which is a novelty to me as we only had sons.

Hello Addiscomber. I recognise your name, welcome to the forum.  :)

You'll spot plenty of names on here from the old place.

Welcome Addiscomber.  I am sorry to learn of your ill-health over recent years, but hope you are now well enough to enjoy your grandchild.

Thank you for the welcomes.

I can hardly wait to start sewing, but have to wait for measurements. If they are not forthcoming, nasty evil Grandma will have to be the one to pin the wriggling worm down whilst wielding the tape measure the next time we see them.

A Big Welcome from me too AC!!  Lovely to hear that you have a new Grandaughter, and delighted that you have found us here!  Time to sew some Frocks!!  :D

Jessie, who is very happy to be here!!  :),  but who has far too many sewing machines to be healthy, and a fabric stash which is becoming embarrassing.

Hello Addiscomber,  welcome to our new home.  Yes I do remember you from a few years ago, you are the lady who helped me with an Elna for Arrow over in Norway.
Sorry to read  that your illness went on so long, and do hope that you are so much better now.  Congratulations on the birth of your granddaughter, now go and enjoy making lots of clothes for her  also enjoy the process of getting back into sewing again.

Welcome from me too. I recognise your name from TSF because I used to lurk there a lot even though I was never a member. Glad to hear that your illness has abated enough to allow you to sew again. It's great fun sewing little frocks and bits and pieces for grandchildren, so enjoy. :)
