@drkknits I saw that link and expected it to be an actual work-out-if-you-want-kids thing. Instead it’s just effing stupid.
I really, really need to make myself a HIPSTER DEER DRESS, right? Universe, you need to enable that. http://t.co/uTqSDYS8
BIRDS on BALLS, people. BALLS! http://t.co/bfJFtq3J (cc @RoseRed_Shoes, @drkknits)
@randomknits Yeah, I shortened mine quite a bit too!
@lemon_lime @drkknits My uterus clenches every time Mitt Romney mentions women. Does that count? (cc @imdominating @Justacogitating)
@drkknits @lemon_lime I don’t mine the peanut butter part so much, given that at my house it’s me who’s smearing it.
@redambition Sewing is the new zombies/owls/fedoras/bunting. You will be assimilated.
@randomknits LOVE IT. So impressed with how you used the border print! It’s stunning.
I’m actually really upset that @_Shuffs_ squished a zookeeper. I’m sure he didn’t mean it. Poor lady zookeeper, and poor Mr Shuffles!
RT @AusVintageGrrl: @redambition Wait, sewing is now a hipster thing? #FML 😉 // Only if you refer to your garments as “artisanal”.
@drkknits Oh no.
@AusVintageGrrl Oh, sweet, thanks! Let me know next time you’re heading over to Broadway and I’ll come meet you. 🙂
@drkknits Oh no. Oh no. I’m so sorry…
RT @manaboutnewtown: Interesting read on the topic of cyclists running red lights via http://t.co/DizAdbMC // I smugly obey red lights.
@RoseRed_Shoes @drkknits Or an ice cold Mars bar, maybe?

@drkknits @redambition Yes, mine beeps to say it’s turning off. It’s fucking annoying when you’re sewing. I got it at Kmart, IIRC.
RT @brittanieshey: ERMAHGERD! http://t.co/uCWPaROc // Some great last minute Halloween costume ideas there!!
@handmethepanda what? I thought they were going gangbusters?
Great night having dinner and hanging out with @eileenDCoE and her Melbs buddies…

Trying to video chat on Skype with family members who don’t have iPhones/iPads turns me into a raving Apple fanatic. WHY DOESN’T IT JUST WORK? HOW DO YOU LIVE LIKE THIS? So frustrating.

BIEBER DUCK TAPE
Justin Bieber Duck Tape – My brain is just exploding from the awesomeness. Who thought of this? Why? It’s so wonderfully random. It’s like surrealist art. I want some.

Guide me home shoes
Guide me home shoes – Wow. You upload your desired GPS coordinates to your shoes, and then little lights on them direct you to that point. That is so neat. (Why does it seem like the universe wants me to learn to make shoes?)

The Full Scale Millennium Falcon Project – This is amazing. A fan (with help) is building a full-sized Millennium Falcon.

@AusVintageGrrl @zephyrama How does that work? You got a link to a tutorial or anything?
@zephyrama @AusVintageGrrl Ahhh, I get you. Useful tip – thanks!
@Gidgetknits @drkknits @randomknits @knitterjp Those are useful! I suck at growing veg and I’m scared of chickens. You’re IN.
@drkknits @Gidgetknits @randomknits @knitterjp I guess you’re gonna have to be the Laura Roslin. Which civil liberties shall you cut first?
@knitterjp @gidgetknits @drkknits @randomknits I have looked at http://t.co/z1nDaBtl before. But again, Chicken Fear.
@drkknits @Gidgetknits @randomknits @knitterjp I love that we’re talking about a Zombie Apocalypse, and you’re stuck on who to hook up with.
@TMBGAustralia Was just reading the FB page to see if any tour dates had been announced. Saw you guys in Syd in 2001 and it was AWESOME!
@knitterjp @RoseRed_Shoes @drkknits @randomknits Corsets would inhibit my ability to kick zombie ass. This isn’t STEAMPUNK, you hipster!
@jezfletcher A personal favourite. Saw it back in college when doing my film degree. Melanie Lynskey is amazing…
@zephyrama Oh no! Not good?
Wee nip of whisky + hot shower + old book finally did the trick. Sleep and I are friends again! Except now I don’t want to get up…
@drkknits I’m so sorry that happened. It’s good you spotted the ticks when you did! I hope puppy is better soon…

@that_alison Old Vogue! Used to be in Chippo but recently moved to Marrickville: http://t.co/I67r1qIo
@zephyrama @RoseRed_Shoes I think it was actually homemade too, judging by zigzagging on seams instead of overlocking!

Colette Hazel
Frocktober #12 – this is @ColettePatterns Hazel I sewed last weekend! #ifeelpretty
Edited to add: And here’s my third finished dress! I actually managed the whole thing – from cutting to finished – in a single day. The pattern is Hazel by Colette. The fabric is some cotton that I picked up at Lincraft during their sale. (No matter how much I iron it, it looks wrinkly. I think it just wants to be wrinkly.) I didn’t bother with a muslin; I just went for the size based on my bust. Unfortunately I think that was a bit too big, as I ended up having to go back and take in the bodice side seams a bit. Next time I’ll do a smaller size. I had been nervous about the diagonal bodice seams, but they turned out pretty easy. The zipper insertion was fairly painless too. Pretty cute, huh? The only negative is that the strap placement made it difficult to find a bra to wear with it. I ended up going with one with “clear” straps so they’re less visible. Still, I think I’ll definitely make another of these. I’ve got a border print calling to me…
