I used to sew clothes, but for a long time now my only sewing projects have been for household items like quilts, throws and bags, or mending.

But I’ve been inspired by talented friends here - especially @craftygardennz @zeborah and @YGathGoch - and now I’m going to have a go at making this pixie coat! The last time I made a coat was probably in the 1980s 😆 Luckily the pattern comes with excellent instructions.

Photo dump, more #TapeMate progress

Today also included standardizing the length of the webbing I'm using, at least for this size of tape measure.

My lovely joined the cause and busted out the sewing machine to help me with my new #TapeMate adventures

This is a smaller tape measure, a nylon webbing (the previous one was cotton) and I've been wearing it for a couple of hours and already I much prefer it

🍌 Easy 1-2-3 Frozen Spotted Banana #Treat

Next time you spot a "spottie," do this:

1️⃣ Peel (and optionally slice) #banana.
2️⃣ Place banana in a freezer-safe plastic container, close lid and place in freezer.
3️⃣ Once the banana is completely frozen, which takes approximately two hours, you have permission to yum-it-up.
