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@mastodon.nz @zeborah@mastodon.nz 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.
