Hey, Cool, sewing thread just in time as with the change of season and my knitting needles sitting idle and my machine was pulled out of hibernation yesterday!

Teni - I am jealous of your new machine! Sounds like lots of fun. I love the sound a new machine makes… or the lack of sound! All efficient whirring etc. Sounds like your machine is going to get lots of use.

HotI - I am also jealous of you! A sewing room - I can only dream. Mine is in the living room too as we are in a cramped apartment and when I sew I usually try to get a few days done in between everything else so that I don't have to pack up and set up continually. However, the room is a complete mess in the meantime.

I am a bit like you, big list, lots of cutting and sewing at one time. (and lots of begging, just 5 more minutes kids….) I recently organised my sewing supplies and fabric stash again so I was ready for the summer sewing frenzy. First cab off the rank - an octonaut costume for each of my octonaut crazy kids. Two cute blue sailor hats, two collars and a pink skirt for Dashi. DD1 is off to kinder today dressed as Dashi so it was a success.

Next plan, maybe something for me?? Has anyone seen/made the Washi dress from Made by Rae? I think it must be done...
