Title: I should really introduce myself!
Post by: Ouryve on August 02, 2021, 17:28:49 PM: Hi, I'm Yve and live in NE England. I've been sewing on and off for many years but didn't do much while my boys, who both have special needs, were young.

I've caught the bug again big time, now they're teens. Mostly garment sewing - currently working on a Merchant & Mills All State shirt for my husband in a lovely smooth hemp/cotton blend.

Like the other Merchant & Mills patterns I've made up, it's coming together really well. Just a pleasant, gentle sew with no nasty surprises.

Welcome @Ouryve you avatar is intriguing, what is it?

My youngest son (severely autistic) has a big box of favourite pieces of lego that he spends hours counting and sorting. He was far too quiet, one morning and I walked into his room to find everything sorted into groups, covering the entire floor. They stayed like that all week (ouch!) until he decided that it was far to long since he'd listened to the noise it all makes when it's bounced off various surfaces!

It's just a place holder until I can figure out how to make the pic I want appear the right way up - it wasn't playing ball, last night, and I was too tired to fiddle - but I figured it sums up my day to day life pretty well, for now!

Something else that sums up my life is the fact that I have to hide tape measures. Some people have cats who sleep on their projects, I often find that someone has set the table and eaten a snack, on top of my carefully laid out fabric!

I'm actually a bit of an incomer. I've only been up here thirty odd years ;)
