  1. Added a needle positioner. Now the needle always stops down, for easier and more accurate turns. A quick heel press on the pedel lifts the needle up. #MYOG #sewists #backpacking #ultralight

  2. I acquired a used industrial sewing machine to make my own backpacking gear with. #MYOG #sewists #packpacking #ultralight

  3. JoAnn's closing virtually all stores by April will be a problem for sewists. The other 2 big craft chains don't stock much fabric; local quilt shops generally don't stock knits, rayon, denim, gauze and other clothes-making staples. And as far as I know, JoAnn's is THE major outlet for the big pattern companies - I suspect this will be close to a death blow for Simplicity/McCalls/Butterick/Vogue. So now would be a good time for #sewists to stock up on copies of your staple #SewingPatterns.

  4. Happy Saturday everyone! I hope whatever you're doing , you are warm , happy & healthy #festive #knitters #sewists #winterwarmth #hygge

  5. #introduction
    Hello, from the innerwest suburbs of #Melbourne #Naarm #WurundjeriLand. I love #sewing (mostly clothes from indie pattern design companies) and currently studying #InformationManagement and #librarystudies. I've had a long career teaching #literature in international and higher education, but burnout finally got me after teaching remotely over the pandemic lockdowns for almost two years. I am making the move into another career, and prioritising work-life balance, opportunities to gain new perspectives, and develop new skills.
    Hoping to connect with fellow #sewists #booknerds #librarians
