This is so interesting…however all this reading will require new glasses.
Went to Butterick.com today and guess what… they have a 2 day sale, Thurs & Friday order online and the patterns are $3.99 so I ordered 4. You have got me all excited. I hope the patterns don’t have babies like your sewing machines. Thanks Connie

I have just found your site and i love the sound of your writing, so warm. I am 75, ex fashion designer and still sewing, but have been making jewellery lately. I have made some girly frocks, but want to get back to doing some womens clothing; of the funky sort. That’s if I have what it takes.
Cheers Connie.

Ahh you are so sweet, Kathy!

Hi,

I was curious what it would take to get a text link on your blog saying something like “Tungsten Wedding Bands” or “Tungsten Wedding Rings” with a hyperlink to our site (www.tungstenringsonline.com). We are a relatively new company and we are currently trying to improve our page ranking on Google. We operate on a small budget, and we would be more than willing to give you a tungsten ring from our site in exchange for a link. Let me know if this would be something that you would be interested in, and any help that you can give us would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You
Nick

i love your blog…if you don’tmind me asking, what kind of sewing machine do you have? i sew only clothing, and i find your beautiful creations so inspiring!! thanks, karen

Karen, I have an Elna 7200, a really old Janome serger that works like a dream , a Husqy coverstitch, an old industrial, and an old mechanical Elna that is a real workhorse. For someone starting out, I always recommend finding an older, well maintained mechanical machine. All the bells and whistles on the new computerized ones really aren’t necessary. Except for Auto threaders. I swear by that little gizmo. Thanks for the lovely comment!
