Doesn't seem warm enough to me yet for the 'summer wardrobe '. Once it's ok for bedding plants to go outside sounds about right. But of course layers may be the answer. Iobe a good cardigan.

And when 'new money' came in @HenriettaMaria schools made a big thing about being able to convert from pound, shillings and pence to the new decimal currency but of course it didn't matter after a few weeks - we all got used to it quickly. I remember my poster for a project about the change to decimalisation read: 'The end is nigh. Repence!'

Sounds like hard work @Elnnina but good to get these things sorted.
Hope your eyes settle down quickly @Bjay . I've cut larger neckbands for my twin grandsons' tee shirts. Looks better. I'm attaching the sleeves then I'll run up the side seams. This means I can take the tee shirts and matching shorts for the boys to try on tomorrow then if all is well I'll finish them for the weekend.

Doing the necklines of my toddler tee shirts and the neckbands look rather small to me. I know they have to be smaller than the neckline to lie flat but..... I'm going to sew one on but not irrevocably overlock to see how it looks.

I saw this & I thought you may be interested! / Re: New Vogue patterns $7.99 until 7 April

Yes I know what you mean @Bodgeitandscarper though I think the Marcy Tilton top is nice. However, like me, you probably have a zillion Marcy Tilton patterns. I like the Rachel Comey dress as it has interesting details and is definitely wearable without having a huge neck or flesh displayed or the like . It is the exact same as the actual designer version even down to the fabric so that intrigued me. The fancy party dresses are lovely if you have the occasion and the figure and £6.62 is a bargain for a pattern of that complexity.

If you look on the main US Simplicity website you will see that the brand new Vogue patterns are $7.99 (about £6.66) each for the next couple of days. This includes pdf versions. They now have A0 as well as A4 on the pdfs. As usual with Vogues it helps if you are young, thin and going to a party - alas I am none of these - but there are some nice patterns. I've indulged in a Rachel Comey and a Marcy Tilton. If one of you would like to invite me to a wedding I'm happy to have a go at the Badgley Mischka pattern.
The only one that isn't on sale is the Diane von Furstenberg wrap dress. Is it just me? I can't for the life of me see what the excitement is with this pattern. And the new Buttericks are now up on the website but they aren't on sale.

I used a sleep mask if I wake in the night and it's getting light @Acorn . If there's too much light outside because I'm staying somewhere which has thin curtains and bright light outside I'll wear a mask all night. It's quite effective and you soon get used to it.
