Just popping in to introduce myself. It's winter here in Queensland and a great time to be inside the house and creating.
I've been sewing for 50 plus years and am hoping to reconnect with others that I have met on other forums. I sew my own clothes and love to keep up with what everyone else is creating.
Lately, I have gone back to drafting my own patterns in Pattern Master Knits. Earlier this year I enrolled in Sarah Veblen's Fun with Fitting Pants Class on PR and finally, I have made pants that I am really happy with.
I am also a huge fan of Style Arc patterns and have also dabbled with Sure Fit Designs.
Like lots of others, I have a huge stash, so this year I am on a self-imposed RTW Fast and trying to resist buying new fabrics and use up my stash.
I've recently started learning the art of scrumbling following methods published by Prudence Mapstone. You use a combination of knitting and crochet to create garments and basically, there are NO rules. No garments made yet but I am having lots of fun practising all the different patterns in PM's books.
Thanks for allowing me to join what seems to be a really friendly group of sewists. I look forward to sharing and learning.
Cheers,
Annette

I had to buy a new one. It's terrible but it was the only option available at the sewing store. Birch used to make decent sewing tools but it's all cheap rubbish now. I miss my old one
I'd had it for years but it was a trusty little tool!
