Popping in this afternoon to sew the many lines of gathering stitches on my Nicks blouse and then I think I will leave it at this did not sleep too well, last night, and I'm feeling it in the thinking area.

I find that a lot of single knit fabrics have a print that's on the wonk and I have to run with it when I cut out as attempting to pull it straight would result in a twisty garment. As a result, I do have a few me made items where the pattern is very much on its own trajectory.

Nicely done, @Sheilago

Yve's Entry: cushions for The Front Room using Elizabeth Hartman's Fancy Fox pattern. For the foxes, I picked out colours from a rug we have in there. The binding is a scrappy binding using the prints from that particular cushion.

Or a jersey needle. My janome prefers jersey needles, pfaff prefers stretch. Or it might be the other way round. Skipped stitches if I get it wrong so I soon find out.

And, yes, stitch all of the width of the stitch through both layers for nice even stitches. To trim, fold the hem right back on itself, right sides together, so only the surplus that you want to trim off is poking up.

On Jane I use either wht your manual describes as multiple zigzag, stitch 8 or for daytime t-shirts, I like the effect of your stitch 20, which mimics a coverstitch quite nicely.

No. Sewing for me, today. Just back from a trip out with Eldest and not even had lunch, yet.

Turned out to be for very good reason. Thankfully, all turned out better than feared.

Anyhow, I've just had an email from Closet Core saying that Deer and Doe are now under their umbrella, after approaching them in the search for a buyer. There's a blog post about it but I can't get into it, at the moment.

I remember decorating the boys' room in early May, years ago, with sleet and snow hitting the window.
