Sewingplums

Just a note to let you know I’ll be posting less frequently and less regularly from now on.

I greatly enjoy writing these posts, and still have a lot I want to say. But these posts take a surprising amount of time to prepare. And using a computer is a bad weather activity for me.

So I’ll be posting less often for now. I’ve got a couple of posts nearly completed. But they’re taking much longer than I expected. And a folder full of topics I’ve started making notes on. Though they won’t be done quickly. . .

If you want to keep up, without wasting your time checking in without reward, you could set up a service like bloglines.

Or check a blog like Robin’s. She lists blog links according to how recently they’ve had a new post. With titles. A very useful service.

Thank you for your interest !

Enjoy your Summer 😀

What does this mean for you ?

I think what does this for me is quality : quality of fabric, quality of construction, quality of fit, quality of style.
And embellishment – especially lace, embroidery, and heirloom sewing by machine.
So I need to do more of that.

This lovely phrase comes from a recent issue of ‘Sew Today’ (UK BMV magazine).

Life intervened this week.

The cotton poplar had to be pollarded. Sad, it does not look good for a year afterwards, but if it’s not done it drops bits on the neighbours.

I did make a cushion cover, to keep me calm while the chain saw was in operation.
No photo as I mis-measured the pad it’s made for, so the result is strained and lumpy. . . well, my pants fitting attempts are getting better than that, I’m happy to say.

The early crocuses are in full bloom, and the birds no longer need last year’s seed pods. So gardening is taking priority.

Greetings ! Enjoy the existing posts !
