Patterns Discussion / Re: Raincoat Pattern
« on: Yesterday at 13:50:53 »
I think @Acorn made a raincoat out of this Lekala pattern?
Not me - I made a wool coat out of this Lekala pattern (with buttons and no belt - it came out pretty much like a duffle coat - which would probably lend itself quite well to being a raincoat.

Welcome to The Dark Side / Re: The 2019 Coverlet project begins ..... and already I need your help!
« on: Yesterday at 10:20:33 »
Oh Good! I had a look, but the fact that I have an irrational dislike of blue and yellow together means that I only have one fabric in predominantly those colours, and it definitely isn't striped. Or a small enough pattern for this. Or suitable for patchwork.

My Featherweight (221k) was in an antique shop labelled at £85. Mr Acorn paid less than that for it (my Christmas present just over a year ago), but I don't know how much less. It's in pretty good condition (wiring needed slight attention, and case smells musty, but otherwise excellent).
I know 222ks are dearer and more desireable, but that is absurd. Something definitely looks fishy.

I do actually like wallpapering. I just don't like moving furniture and painting skirting boards.

@justpottering Will you come and organise me please? I've had the wallpaper for our bedroom for - I was going to say almost two years, but I've just checked and it's well over three.

Fun with Fabric / Re: Stash organisation

@Lowena - the shelves are actually pigeonhole-type things, so not really open to dust. It gets taken out and patted quite a lot anyway... Some of it even gets used and replaced. The long-term stuff (ie stuff I probably out to sort out and get rid of) is in a cupboard with a door.

Well done! I bet you can see it much better now too - I love to sit and look at the fabric on my shelves.

This one was fun - and you can't fail to love a pattern where you deliberately sew over the points.

I've never used it (or, for that matter, come across it) myself, but I know that Style Arc seems to recommend it for a lot of their patterns - trousers in particular, I think.

I thought I'd hidden the jammie dodgers. 
Looks like there are only fig rolls left now.
