I really enjoyed this season of the Bee, and have heard that applications for another season are open so that is good news for all of us who love watching it! <br /><br />You do sound awfully busy with projects in April -- wedding sewing, yikes, that can be stressful! But I'm delighted to hear that you're trying out one of Chinelo's patterns. Happy to have passed that rec along :) Have fun on your vacay, stitching is a good portable project for that!Melwykhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04885378201188978664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454299534973486652.post-22687190614310312502019-04-05T10:52:20.232-04:002019-04-05T10:52:20.232-04:00So funny that an old post showed up!

I'm glad you found me though -- and I hope that you'll enjoy all the bookish content here :) I do a little bit of quilting but mostly garment sewing and stitching.Melwykhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04885378201188978664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454299534973486652.post-46674900847813547542019-04-05T06:45:31.765-04:002019-04-05T06:45:31.765-04:00Hi Melanie, I did get to see the Great British Sew...Hi Melanie, I did get to see the Great British Sewing Bee in the end, some episodes were available through Australian Sewing Guild website, and other episodes .... well I managed. So inspiring!! I liked all the contestants with their quirks and ideas.<br /><br />As for April, it is going to speed by while I blink! I have many projects. Firstly, today I am helping my daughter make a pattern and sew using Chinelo Bally's freehand fashion technique. (Inspired by your book review). We started making the jacket today. Amazing! And I think it will work. Interestingly, I can find very few reviews of finished garments online. People don't seem to have tried this method much despite the initial interest. Maybe it is too 'out of the square'. In addition, I have an outfit to make for a family wedding in two weeks, sew a purse for the bride to hold, and numerous other projects on the go. And then I am off on a camping trip for a couple of weeks - a cross stitch project will have to satisfy me then.Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18286531350427715397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454299534973486652.post-4755731973098009872019-04-03T09:29:33.676-04:002019-04-03T09:29:33.676-04:00A July 27, 2018 post popped up in my blog lovin...A July 27, 2018 post popped up in my blog lovin' feed this morning.
