@Bodgeitandscarper ...they’re the easiest sleeves I’ve ever done. Just a long lozenge shape cut on the bias, folded in half and sewn in flat then sew up the side seams...so quick an easy but give the arms a bit of coverage.

I have very few summer dresses... not that I’m going anywhere.
This is Simplicity 8872. A great easy pattern, easy to fit and the sleeve is a new favourite.

The best thing I’ve ever bought in all my years of sewing is the Bekant adjustable height desk from IKEA
https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/cat/bekant-system-18960/
Yes it is expensive but so worth it. Perfect height for the machines, I use two on it side by side. Great for cutting out... no more back ache. I would have got the larger desk top but didn’t have the room.

We have six Boyes stores within 15 minutes driving time and about four more within half an hour.
It is hit and miss.... I bought a nice fleece backed zip up hooded sweatshirt for £12 on Friday... couldn’t have bought the pattern and zip for that amount.
