Rolling Eyeballs: February 2014
http://rollingeyeballs.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Postings from the nicer side of the Internet. Tuesday, 25 February 2014. The Great British Sewing Bee Challenge. So the Great British Sewing Bee. Returned to our screens last week, oh how I do love this show. And it got me wondering, would I be able to do that? There are eight episodes, whether I can keep up and manage eight challenges we will have to wait and see, but so far so good. Week One - Challenge One - Complete. Links to this post.

Rolling Eyeballs: September 2014
http://rollingeyeballs.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Postings from the nicer side of the Internet. Wednesday, 17 September 2014. Fluffrick's comment when I put this outfit on today, was that I looked like "Velma" from Scooby Doo. And I see what he means, with the orange jumper and orange socks. But I take being likened to Velma as a compliment, if it hadn't been for her, that group of "pesky kids" would have met there end long ago. If I'd been able to fine my turquoise jumper this morning, as I had intended, the unintentional Velma would never have happened.

Rolling Eyeballs: Does anybody else think Jean Jacket when they see a tablecloth, or is it just me?
http://rollingeyeballs.blogspot.com/2015/06/does-anybody-else-think-jean-jacket.html
Postings from the nicer side of the Internet. Tuesday, 30 June 2015. Does anybody else think Jean Jacket when they see a tablecloth, or is it just me? We just had Netto. Open a branch down the road, so I went to have a look round on Friday, I do love my budget supermarkets. And look what I found. So what pattern to use? Fortuitously Burda pattern are half price at the moment, so I have opted for Burda 7018. Even though it is a Young pattern and I am definately not. 1 July 2015 at 18:43. So, Zo.'.

Rolling Eyeballs: Do I look like I'm wearing a tablecloth?
http://rollingeyeballs.blogspot.com/2015/07/do-i-look-like-im-wearing-tablecloth.html
Postings from the nicer side of the Internet. Wednesday, 1 July 2015. Do I look like I'm wearing a tablecloth? The photos for this post are not the best. My photo shoot (or as the dogs like to call it their walk) was curtailed when the dogs decided to do a runner, squirrels are more interesting that watching me have my picture taken apparently. This is the Brumby Skirt. By Megan Nielsen. I need another skirt pattern like a hole in the head, but I succumbed to the pockets. They are HUGE. So, Zo.'. What to...

Postings from the nicer side of the Internet. Saturday, 4 July 2015. It seemed like a good idea at the time. It may be an excess of I ndie Pattern Month. Over at The Monthly Stitch. But the start of le Tour de France. Today, got me thinking. I am a huge cycling fan, I have to admit I'm not quite as excited about this years tour as last years, but then they're not riding through my home town this year. Having driven (not walked or ridden) up le Cote de Jenkin Road. But this is a challenge, not just one ou...

Rolling Eyeballs: October 2014
http://rollingeyeballs.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Postings from the nicer side of the Internet. Saturday, 25 October 2014. It is Frocktober this month on The Monthly Stitch. And as it is well and truly Autumn up here in the northern hemisphere I thought I'd make a Snuggly Giselle. This is also a bargain basement Giselle, as I have had the paisley fabric for so long I don't actually remember buying it (I'm thinking sometime in the 1980's) and the turquoise fabric I got at the local AgeUK shop for the pricely sum of £1. This dress is very twirly. Six in t...

Welcome to my blog. Thanks to the internet sewing inspiration knows no borders. Tuesday, 20 January 2015. I've just done a Pattern Review. McCalls 6992 View A. Thank goodness for a skimpy black bra. And knew that the lack of clarity with this pattern's description/instructions/drafting were not my fault. For the full rant please do read the pattern review linked above. Basically the problem anyone. Having ranted twice, I feel much better thanks. I like the top. They're the in thing! I will wear it to an ...

Welcome to my blog. Thanks to the internet sewing inspiration knows no borders. Saturday, 25 July 2015. Do you know what I would tell my beginner sewing self if I could go back in time? Unlike my previous version I did not put pockets in the body of the garment, to give it (and me! A smoother line. I used a spongy pure wool bought during a sale at Pitt Trading (serendipity! My other modification is a CB seam and sway back adjustment extending almost to the side seams. There was a lot of unpicking involve...

Welcome to my blog. Thanks to the internet sewing inspiration knows no borders. Saturday, 28 February 2015. M6277 in Jacquard Cotton. I am not a child of the computer age. I remember a world without internets or mobile phones and digital gadgets. Computers. Anyway, never say die . I made up a previous favourite pattern M6277. The pattern has been reveiwed on PR as running large at the waist, which is great for the non wasp waisted. With little adjustments each time this will be my TNT sheath. These are a...

Rolling Eyeballs: March 2014
http://rollingeyeballs.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Postings from the nicer side of the Internet. Monday, 3 March 2014. The Great British Sewing Bee Challenge - Week Two. So we have had the second episode of "The Great British Sewing Bee" and this week patterned fabric was the focus. I do love patterned fabric, I have a lot in my stash, but I tend to make far more solid colour items than patterned. However, this week there was no escaping the problems of pattern.
