    Christmas brekky – bake at home Schoko-Brötchen! Not bad for refrigerated dough… https://t.co/10bUI4CIBP


    Awwww! @cactusknitkelly sent us socks with Petey Cat’s face on them! ❤️😽🧦 https://t.co/7qtdsb3Ia3


    Back in the sewing room, and it’s time to attach the sleeves to the #peppermintrufflesleevetop! You can follow along on https://t.co/SGy8OKVXiF https://t.co/k7IdZS8CY6


    Current sewing status: sleeves are attached! After lunch, the last steps are sleeves ruffles and hem. #peppermintrufflesleevetop @ Munich, Germany https://t.co/QYMCe2RlUr


    Did you know they make giant @babybel.de cheese? We managed to find one at the supermarket! ❤️🧀 @ Munich, Germany https://t.co/gwlqpHqvqb


    @boundvariable Huh. I did not know that.


    @heinz_gies Turned out very well! He was worried he overcooked it a bit, but it was still fatty and delicious.


    @JplusCplusM @Babybel I believe so!


    Starting up again… final push to finish the #peppermintrufflesleevetop! https://t.co/uiuDRflQTH


    Finished Peppermint Ruffle Sleeve Top! Thanks to all who kept me company on the live stream. That was a lot of fun! ❤️ #peppermintrufflesleevetop https://t.co/EMsxopZcam


    I’m not the only one that’s been busy making things on Christmas Day… 🍄 https://t.co/TM0GjjkTv9


    We continue our exploration of the cinematic output of Queen. ⚡️ I’ve never seen this! https://t.co/2zoNUZpwx0


    Um. 1980’s Topol is HOT. https://t.co/BqfrW53CaM


    I love everything about this, including Brian Blessed’s thighs and Timothy Dalton’s moustache. https://t.co/D2HAPFDso2


    DO NOT WANT 🦎 https://t.co/gOz1sIp9WT


    Lots of good beadwork in this costuming. I like it. https://t.co/lzC03d35wc


    Why does Flash’s casket… have a mirror on the INSIDE!? https://t.co/sDIVf981in


    @dtraub 😂😂😂


    Topol looks amazing in this outfit. https://t.co/LQrFaqgITI


    @FourRedShoes What?? Really?!


    @FourRedShoes I expected this to be bad, but it’s actually AMAZING.


    Honestly, did not expect to learn that Riff Raff dresses to the left. 😳 https://t.co/dmwwrHxKDQ


    Gordon’s alive?! (THIGHS) https://t.co/MfnD883KoB


    @phrawzty I’m honestly kind of obsessed.


    I’m honestly getting Thor: Ragnarok vibes from this. I wonder if it inspired @TaikaWaititi?? https://t.co/I0HjrPk9rX


    “Do you promise not to blast her into space?” Should’ve had that in our wedding vows! https://t.co/TSlw32Ga2z


    THANKS FLASH. That was amazing. https://t.co/xIakwPCHvE


    @darthted 100%


    @darthted The movie that introduced me to Brian Blessed’s thighs.

    @codepo8 Saving that one for my series sewing Star Trek cosplay.


    Here’s the link to that Full Bust Adjustment tutorial I used: https://t.co/JVMoEz0k5A


    Currently taking a break for lunch. Back soon to actually cut out the shirt!


    @bec_h2o You should!


    Back at it! Time to cut… https://t.co/u2Rsx5GtLw


    Today I assembled the #peppermintrufflesleevetop pattern, did an FBA, cut out the pieces, joined the front and back, made matching continuous bias binding (rather than facing), and attached around the neckline. Tomorrow the sleeves! Check it out on https://t.co/sr3OvwloZy. https://t.co/1K6zVB4OHF


    RT @venikunche: Since I have the time today, it’s time for a story. I’ve never worked for Google. Yet, I have a story to share. 🤦🏾‍♀️
