E consults are unsuitable for acute problems and we are at capacity. Right so back to square one and living with pain.

Finally finished my first pinafore dress. This took me forever to do and it was hard! Topstiching is definitely not straight.It's blue denim with pink topstitching, pink buttons, with a chest pocket criss cross straps.🧡πŸͺ‘

Why is gathering fabric so hard!? I don't think I have the patience for it. Tried 4 different methods and ended up ordering a gathering foot instead. #firstworldproblem

Birds eye view of a vertical book cover titled butter translated by Polly Barton. It has a yellow background, with the name of the book in Japanese at the top, in the middle is a vertical image of a black and white cow with 4 red marks next to it, to make it look like blood stains. At the bottom is the authors name Asako Yuzuki and the sentence the international bestseller.

Finally read Butter. The description of food makes you want to eat whilst reading and forget it's a crime novel. A slow burner that points out that women should always live for themselves first.

This is great. Hope they do adapt and update the size charts and cater for different body types.

First time adding my own cord piping to pyjamas. It's not the worst or the neatest but I'm happy with the outcome. Half way there with mother daughter jammies.πŸͺ‘🧡
