    Yesterday I googled “Ravelry for sewing” and discovered Textillia. It’s early days, but they’re going in the right direction. If you sew, worth checking it out!

    It’s that time of year again! I’m raising funds for the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund and wearing a different dress every day of 2017. If you’d like to donate, my fundraising page is here: https://frocktober2017.everydayhero.com/au/kristine. πŸ‘—πŸ’°β€οΈ


  • Frocktober 2017

    As I’ve done for several years running now, I’ll be raising money this “Frocktober” for the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund. I’ll be wearing a different dress every day of the month, with over half of them made by me personally. Last year’s total was $1481.04, so this year I’m aiming to top $1500. If you’d like to help, my fundraising page for 2017 is here: [page no longer available].

    This year I’m offering aΒ special perk: for the first three folks who donate $100+, I will personally teach you to sew your own dress (or something else if you’re not a dress wearer)! I’m not going to do it for you, but I’ll walk you through choosing a pattern, picking out fabric and supplies, and every step of the sewing process. If you’re not in Sydney, this might have to be a combination of email and video chat, but we’ll make it work. πŸ˜„

    @awkwordly @scottsix @imdominating I told a tech conference audience of 300+ developers to do just that a few weeks back. It was exhilarating.


    @gilmae My father and brother have offered to give him a lesson on many occasions. (My bro is prob in a tree hunting deer at this moment.)


    Me: “Why isn’t there a Ravelry for sewing?”
    Google: “Check out @textillia…”
    😍 So far so good! @randomknits @unlikelylibrary @knitterjp
