In PR there was a question about sewing with polyester crepe as the OP was having skipped stitches. I was very interested in the answers, suggestions, and links as I have some very nice cobalt polyester double crepe. I plan to make a princess seamed sheath dress with non-corded piping using contrasting black single polyester crepe. A friend had suggested crepe was difficult to sew but one of my sewing tutors had suggested it just needed a new needle. I haven't tried to sew it yet as so far I just have the pattern made up.
Anyway, I followed a couple of links and came across the Slow Blog Manifesto in Knotted Cotton's Blog. This really resonated with me. I've read about people stressing over their blog. I don't want to do things just to blog about them and don't want to feel pressurised into posting. Primarily I'm on a learning mission. Don't get me wrong, I love having followers, getting comments and really appreciate (constructive) criticism. I love reading other blogs. I'm never going to be a 'blogger', though - just someone learning to sew, well, hopefully and exploring new techniques (new to me that is!) and occasionally blogging about my progress or lack of it.
I started my blog to chart my sewing progress. I started sewing after I retired and I'm continuing to learn and improve.
