I’m
talking threads this month as I had quite a few enquiries about it lately!
Mettler, my favorite choice. If you want a well constructed garment don’t skimp
on the thread and needles you use, as it’s well worth the money spent and the
effort sewing up the garment.
Mettler Metrosene Plus:
Sewing
Needles
Normally, needle sizes range from 70 – 110. The higher the number, the thicker the needle.

Can’t believe it's December
again.... Xmas time the festive season! We just came back from the USA/Canada
and it was great, they know how to enjoy any festive or holiday season.
When we got there it was
Halloween month... everybody’s houses were transformed and so interesting and it
seem to me like lots of fun. Most interesting was how the craft ladies really
embellished their jackets and handbags with the nicest of bright orange
pumpkins. I just fell in love with the whole idea and are busy doing some
pumpkins on my shirt... you guessed right....it's bright orange!
Then we got into Thanksgiving,
unfortunately we flew back before the actual day but Mike our good friend from
Kansas City took us out on a wonderful meal that we will always remember as our
Thanksgiving dinner.
Another surprise was how many men
we have met that actually sew, to them specifically you need to buy the latest
Stitches Magazine (Australian mag - Vol 14 no 7).In there they have made a Denim
for men using the Lutterloh Patterns, a great pattern. For all the ladies out
there if you want to sew something special for your man for Xmas, this is a
great pattern but beware you might be sewing just for him!
Being the end of the year I just
want to remind you how important it is to measure correctly, in your undies
sideways to the mirror.
Also very important is to fit your paper pattern, check the fit... is it long enough, enough ease, to much ease, does the style suite your body shape... you will see this in the paper. If unsure, let me know what pattern you’re using and we can discuss it via e-mail. I’m at home for a while now. I’m also planning some new projects for 2007, mainly focusing on design changes. Using the same pattern but changing it to different styles. Guess what I’m doing December, yeah I’m sewing away, what greater pleasure than to sew new projects.
