What is this?
.
I was given some boxes of old sewing stuff and I have a role of this stuff. No idea as to what it is.
.
It is very stiff - not sure if it is supposed to be like this or due to age.
.
Anyone?

Getting ready!
.
Toiling a top for #sydneyfrocktails2019.
.
Pants have been toiled already (knit fabric) and a 90% bang on so I'll wear them to the event. Or I may make adjustments and make another pair. Not bad for someone who was terrified of knits until last year.
.
Fabric for top is drying (bucketing outside at the mo) and hopefully the top won't need too many adjustments. Going nice and simple this year.
.
May make some earrings and a clutch as well. Not sure.

Well hello there.
.
I am Stephanie and I live in the leafy suburb of Wahroonga (Sydney). It means "Our Home" in the local Aboriginal language.
.
I'm a sewer and a knitter, mad for animals especially cats.
.
I love driving my little car (red one in the background) - Abbie the Abarth.
.
Music - must have it on. All. The. Time.
.
I have just been through treatment for breast cancer and now am sporting fabulous curly hair - it was dead straight before! Ah the Nanna perm.

Yet again @scottmorrisonmp fails us.
.
@gretathunberg is right - we will never forgive you EVER for your total inaction on climate control.
.
Will your children forgive you?
.
You have no policies, no incentives i.e. Electric vehicles, solar for this country to move forward.
.
What will it take? Grow a set of balls man and do your bit to save this planet for future generations - my child for one.

Random question.
.
Are supposed to remove the threads you sewed for gathers once you have sewn the piece in?
.
I will be overlocking the edges to neaten them up.
