Discovering new ways to do new things is exactly why I'm here
The fact that rules aren't hard and fixed suits me down to the ground. I am someone who veers off the well trodden path quite often, even if it would be simpler to stay the course. I'm a sucker for thinking "what happens if I were to..."

The machines will certainly need a good clean out when I have finished and some nice new needles and a good drink of oil.

I saw this & I thought you may be interested! / Re: New Vogue patterns $7.99 until 7 April
« Last post by toileandtrouble on April 17, 2024, 08:26:37 AM »I'm with you. Sometimes I am tempted to try one just gor a different 'look' but not practical for my lifestyle. I don't do much posing. Housework and cooking yes. Many styles are not practical for my lifestyle and where I live. With no car, I walk to the shops and carry things back. I need a coat that stays closed in a wind, keeps my arms and neck warm and doesn't trail in the shop shelves. Wrap dresses are out, even slightly fully skirts blow up in the winds we get here. It's hard walking home with shopping whilst holding ones skirt down.

The DVF wrap dress was the only pattern Vogue didn't put in their sale - maybe it's just the DVF name.
