    @richbuggy @canva Nope, not yet…

    Wait. I’m confused. Dendy (and other Aussie cinemas) selling SW tickets for “Thursday 17 December, 12:01am”. But trailer says December 18th.

    OHHH. We do get it a day earlier than the US! https://t.co/N3akTtJph8

    @TheWonkaTonka Did Harry popularise the man bun? I think of them as more Dothraki than anything. 🙂

    In talking to my colleagues after #ignitesydney, it’s clear the takeaway was: “Four backflips and a double-deuce.” New measure of awesome.

    @OphelieLechat Oh cool! Does that mean you can help me reach a bunch of coders to knit?! 😛

    We have reached peak Breton stripe. It’s everywhere, and I now declare it to be over. Please adjust your wardrobes accordingly.

  • Denim Hazel Dress

    Hazel DressI finished another dress! Back in July I was passing Sew Make Create and did a DOUBLE TAKE when I noticed they were having a fabric sale. I couldn’t resist. I ended up buying three pieces, one of which was an interesting stretchy denim with a pintuck detail (almost like stripes). Of course, as soon as I bought it I couldn’t figure out what the hell to do with it. I knew those vertical lines would be difficult to match up. Donna came through with the best suggestion: why not make another Hazel? (I’ve made two before.) I decided to fully line the top of this one with some red voile, and I used that for the pockets as well. I had a hell of a time with the strap placement and length though, and I’m still not 100% happy with them. (I think I unpicked them three or four times.) On the plus side, the denim was so stretchy that I was able to forgo the zipper entirely. But on the negative side, I didn’t use a walking foot so the top of the bodice got a bit stretched out and gapey. I eventually settled on topstitching a line around the top to create a casing that I was able to thread some thin elastic through. That’s enough to pull the top a bit tighter around my bust and armpits. Despite all the headaches, it ended up being a very cute, functional sundress!

    @gilmae General induction or specifically about onboarding new devs?

    @gilmae That’s something we’re been working at Canva quite a bit. You should come over for a beer sometime and I’ll introduce @chrisdoble.

    @darthted @gilmae Thanks Ted! Very useful. Our latest batch are shipping within the first week, but we aren’t quite on Day 1 just yet. 🙂

    @chrisdoble @gilmae Friday is SPORTS DAY, remember? We might be running around a field somewhere. 😐

    @NicoleWill100 Oh good grief. Maybe @maheshmurali would be interested in that approach. 😀

    RT @NicoleWill100: Love this @MsGenGeorge from @oneshiftjobs on learning to be a Leader. Nice piece @rosepowell http://t.co/Lg5SZGWAXf #sta…

    Fine tuning my talk for #tdccareersummit this weekend in Melbourne! Very excited to meet everyone down there. 🙂

    @OphelieLechat I will potentially have some free time in Melbourne on Sunday if you want to catch up! On-the-spur stitch and bitch? 🙂

    STICKERS!!!! https://t.co/WBfWePhY3u

    ARGH. Just spent the whole night trying to get my sewing machine to hem properly with a twin needle. No go. I give up. Tomorrow.

    @aloveofrunning @FenstarDeLuxe @Internode Same!

    And now the Internet is down. The technology is hassling me, man!

    @FenstarDeLuxe @aloveofrunning @Internode Not for me. 🙁

    @FenstarDeLuxe @aloveofrunning @Internode WAIT. It might be okay!

    #frocktober day 19: vintage dress. Monday. http://t.co/BctBBJM4ec http://t.co/9QSfGKzIvV

    Just booked my midnight screening Star Wars tickets for Dendy Newtown. (What are the odds I’m back on the spam list? *sigh*)

    @lucykbain Just this morning at 8am, I believe!

    @aloveofrunning @FenstarDeLuxe @Internode Thanks – I’ll bookmark that for the next inexplicable outage. 🙁

    Me: “For $32, I can order Rebel Alliance Sliders.”
    Snook: “I’ve never tried Bantha.”
    Me: “It’s 2015, darling. It’s probably PULLED BANTHA.”

    @gilmae Speaking of haute Hoth cuisine, are you guys interested in trying to get Noma tickets? #treatyoself

    @gilmae I rationalised it as cheaper than flying to Denmark.

    Just spent 10 minutes doing a political phone survey about the next federal election. To my surprise, I really enjoyed it.

    I sounded like a Lib nightmare: wealthy, childless, university educated, pro marriage-equality, pro-environment hippie unafraid of boats.

    “How good or bad a reason to vote for the Liberals is ‘stopping the boats’?” EXTREMELY BAD.
