  • Happy place. Thank you @melissaloh80 for the suggestion!!

  • As expected, travelling on 🐎 day makes for a quiet journey! (I’m not going to Melbourne though…) #runwaytoraces

  • Sorbetto Blouse

    Earlier this year, Colette announced that they’d revamped their excellent free Sorbetto pattern. I’ve made five different tops using the old version – Dr. Who tank, Wonder Woman tank, Lucky Cats tank, Red Flowers tank, and Liberty blouse – so I was curious to see what had changed. The new one uses a different block (basically: the default body it’s designed for), and they also revised the size range to go a lot higher.

    This is a quick project, and I had it finished within an afternoon. I sewed up Version 3 using some mystery fabric I got when my friend Jody’s Mum sold off her stash. (It might be a blend? It doesn’t get very wrinkly, which is nice.) I used some premade navy bias tape to finish the neckline on the inside. I cut a straight 18 based on measurements, but I think I might blend to a smaller body size next time as it’s quite roomy around the midsection. The pleat down the front is wider than on the old one. I’ve got a little tightness across the back of the shoulders, which I suspect means I might need to do a broad back adjustment on the next one.

    Still – a quick project that resulted in a very wearable blouse for summer!

    I’m watching Q&A because my nephew was on it tonight. “But you hate #QandA!” the Snook says. I’m watching it on mute.

    Just discovered my DVD can playback at 1.5x. Speed-watching Q&A on mute = 👍

    @LapTop006 I usually don’t. Just trying to get a screen grab on my nephew in the audience.

    @MikeRiethmuller @freesewing_org @j__st Yeah. I’m always tempted to use the neologism “sewist,” but then it annoys me not to use the simplest term. https://t.co/lEF8fQ3jHJ

    @crankymate Did I tell you I’m a quarter Korean? 🙂

    @crankymate I just sent that link to my Mom to share with my Grandma. She’ll be tickled!

    @zarahjutz They’re beautiful and you’re awesome. Hope you’ve been having a good recovery weekend.

    Congrats to Jensen on winning the Spirit of @HealthHackAu award at #HealthHackSYD last night! I look forward to seeing you at @yow_conf. 😊 https://t.co/BTbZ5ogeKU

    @zoeydoesnttweet What are chasers? (Guessing I should probably be happy I don’t know.) 😕

    @zoeydoesnttweet Ahhh, I see. Yeah, that sounds like it would suck. Sorry you have to deal with them. ☹️

    @damovisa @msandfor @Cuff_S @yow_conf Thank you, but I deserve no such credit! @yow_conf had childcare before me, and my only involvement with Health Hack was as Syd judge

    @damovisa @msandfor @Cuff_S @yow_conf That said – we only have YOW Bubs in Melbourne this year. Just not enough uptake in other cities in prev years. 🙁

    @Cuff_S @susanalmon @brynphd You’ll want to talk to @LizlingC and @HealthHackAu! 👍

    @The_McJones @laurclinn Coding and knitting. There are several different versions online! This is longest: https://t.co/1rDhouqpYY. Google name of team for more. 😊

    @The_McJones @laurclinn But I sew too. Just discovered @freesewing_org recently. Programmatically generated sewing patterns from your measurements!

    @NotreDame Coincidentally, I received a fund-raising email less than an hour after tweeting this. I sent a reply that I would not be donating. 😕

    Knitting friends: any of you still have some of @gusseting’s 10-ply white Cormo from a few years back that you’re wiling to part with?

    @imdominating *fans self* https://t.co/qijG6Yj3af

    @gusseting Calculations are happening.

    @nicilind @gusseting Project needs 9-10. I’ve got 3. @knitterjp might have some, she said.
