The only place I could imagine that trouser suit is on a red carpet somewhere.

Yes the colours are fantastic, but I am surprised to hear that there are problems with the quality of the fabric. Surely if you are going to put your name to a range of quilting cotton you would want it to be top quality.

Are you on FB @WendyW because I am sure I have seen that room there.

Looks fantastic. So tidy and organised

And big!!!
Houses in USA are just bigger - with more space for workrooms.

I liked the adjustable-height cutting table.
So do I, but it is much more expensive than any of the other tables they sell.

OK I just checked it against the gate-leg dining table I use for cutting out (with a folding cardboard protector on top).
Wow, the Sewezi is BIG You would need a big space in your home to use it.

A Good Yarn / Re: Moss stitch

Brilliant. Thank you.
I know I would go wrong if trying to reverse the instructions in my head (and am too lazy to sit down and write out the reverse instructions).

A Good Yarn / Moss stitch
« on: December 06, 2022, 09:09:00 AM »
On the basis that the only stupid question is one you don't ask...

Does moss stitch produce a reversible piece of kntting?

You know how a pattern gives instructions for 'left side' and says to then reverse the instructions for 'right side' so if you knit two 'left' sides in moss stitch could you then just turn one to make a right side?

Courses & Classes / Re: Craftsy membership offer

Just spotted this on FB

"Crafty is offering Premium Memberships for only $1.49 during Black Friday. And that's for an entire year. It's normally $89.99. WOW! That's a great deal.  I've checked them out and they have awesome sewing classes & expert instruction. Plus, they also have 20+ other hobbies too!"

Are they losing subscribers I wonder?

And, yes it looks as if it's some ordinary person posting, but it's Craftsy's page so their doing.

@Flobear  I did enter mine although I think it would trail miserably behind.
Voting is always a subjective thing.
We only have the photos to go on and there are so many reasons to pick something.

Does it suit the maker?
Would I wear it?
Does it look more difficult?
Do I like the colour?

Yes it is easy to feel you are 'bottom' (I know I would - and take it personally) but that isn't how we should feel.

IO got my renewal notice and cancelled by email. Just one follow up offering a lower rate (but not as low as you were offered).
I didn't reply.

I swear, not as often as I did in my 20s and very much depending on the company I am in (in private is a whole different story).
I like the different angle of the book and might have bought it (you can't have too many books can you) but, even for me, she really has dropped the F-bomb too many times.

It stops having any point when scattered like confetti.
