Today I am home, on the couch, with a big warm blanket, a hot water bottle on my chest and trying not to cough myself inside out. It is day four of my annoying cold and the weather outside is reflect...
Here is a the quick preview for the next Manequim issue (April for me): Shoes! Also something about “return of the sets” (a volta dos conjuntos) which if you look at the picture they have...
To quote my good sewing friend Sarah, “Mwhahahahaha!”, I can hear her from all the way over in Perth. Yes, I have caved in and re-signed up for Pinterest, if you are interested you can fo...
Have you guys seen Google today? I might have beat you to it on account of being ahead of most of you time-wise Today is the birthday of Swedish born Gideon Sundback who invented the zipper between 1...
You already know that I don’t subscribe to BurdaStyle magazine anymore. The last few issues have been much better but I don’t trust them enough to re-subscribe. Besides, I can buy single ...
Ah my old friend. We’ve been through quite a lot haven’t we? I still remember the day I chose you in Ikea. I think we’ve known each other for just over 4 years and it’s been a...
April’s Manequim showed up this week day, yay! There is a lot in this issue to love so here are some of my favourite picks this month: Starting with a couple of cute separate collars, I”v...
Things have been pretty hectic here at Curious HQ these last few weeks so I’m really sorry about the lack of exciting posts. I am afraid the only piece of sewing I have cued up right now is a ...
Sigh…I’ve had a super crappy week but pretty patterns cheer me up, let’s review: Ohh shoes! Shoes make me happy too, these are so pretty in all their clompy goodness. It’s a s...
Reblogged from Fabric-a-brac: Oops the first poster had the date wrong – Yikes! Yup the Wellington fabricabrac is all go – here’s the fabric-a-brac May 2012 poster if you feel incli...
To be brutally honest I don’t think there is anything in this issue that I really really want to make. This is the first time this has happened to me with Patrones and I am pretty disappointed ...
You know what? You guys are awesome! I’ve been feeling pretty blue the last week, letting all the little things get to me but all your comments on my last post really cheered me up so I’d...
It’s confession time: I have no sewing to report, or finished item images to share with you and I might not for a few more weekends. So it’s time to fess up. Our rental got put on the market at the e...
If you are in Wellington, this is for you…unless you made a New Years Resolution this year to reduce your stash and not buy any more fabrics…then I suggest you look away now. I warned you...
I little bit of Sewing as Art for your Thursday: How incredible are these origami-like paper dresses?! They are made from vintage maps and each one is unique. I am completely in love and want to mak...
Apologies that I have been a bit slow with my scanning lately. The good news is that my scanner and my computer are now vaguely grumbling at each other, which is better than the straight out ignoring...
I hardly ever post WIP images. I have this thing about jinxing myself which I know is silly. But since I was a bit camera-shy this weekend and therefore have no finished item images to share here is ...
…and the winner is…(drum roll)… Tanit-Isis! …(cue cheers from the crowd, confetti and streamers!)… Congrats Tanit-Isis, I hope you enjoy your new pattern and I’ll ...

I like stats and I often have a cruise through my blog stats to see where I’m picking up new readers from and which posts are the most popular. As much as any blogger claims they blog for themselves ...
Do you guys Pin? I have to admit that I don’t. Well actually I used too, then I got all a bit weirded out by the thinspiration that kept cropping up in my search so I stopped doing it…the...
Considering January is almost over I should really do the “reflect back on my 2011 sewing year” thing. I posted 2010’s round up late on Feb 1st 2011 so why break with tradition? By the way, it’s not ...
I accidentally went fabric shopping yesterday: No… …actually that is a shameless lie… I went out at lunchtime yesterday specifically to check out Arthur Toye‘s 50% off everything (EVERYTHING!)...
Nerdy Husband and I share a love of excursions, any excuse to get out of the house is always welcomed. Generally these excursions fall under some common categories you will be familiar with, such as ...
My new 'baby' (and I’ve decided she needs a name…one will come to me eventually, just like Scarlett’s did) Thank you for all your tips on locating the model number. I used...
I have to confess, despite the best intentions, I haven’t gotten very much sewing done these holidays, or blogging. This was my last week off work before I go back (yes, I got an extra week, not my i...
I wrote an entire post about my amazing Secret Santa gift and do you think I can find it? I don’t know what happened but I suspect it is inside a Word document on my computer at work, so I̵...
Ok, I am a day late (well for those of you in my part of the globe anyway), it’s boxing day here right now, I hope you all enjoyed a happy Christmas. Today I indulged in a few of the Boxing Day...
