Check-In Post February 3rd 2024

Hello to all members, passers-by, curious onlookers, and shy lurkers, and welcome to our regular daily check-in post. Just leave a comment below to let us know how your current projects are progressing, or even if they're not.

Checking in is NOT compulsory, check in as often or as seldom as you want, this community isn't about pressure it's about encouragement, motivation, and support. Crafting is meant to be fun, and what's more fun than sharing achievements and seeing the wonderful things everyone else is creating?

There may also occasionally be questions, but again you don't have to answer them, they're just a way of getting to know each other a bit better.


This Week's Question: Looking back at last year, which of your completed projects (or WiPs) were you most pleased with?


If anyone has any questions of their own about the community, or suggestions for tags, questions to be asked on the check-in posts, or if anyone is interested in playing check-in host for a week here on the community, which would entail putting up the daily check-in posts and responding to comments, go to the Questions & Suggestions post and leave a comment.

I now declare this Check-In OPEN!

I got my niece to try on the dress I'm cutting down for her and the arms were HUUUGE but it made us both laugh. It's sitting pretty well apart from that, so now I can start the hand finishing in dribs and drabs. This is a sewing machine inside and hand finished only project, but it'll still take up a bit of time. Thinking I can sew at work in my lunch time and just eventually get it done that way. Maybe some simple embroidery around the neck.

I prefer long sleeves, but that's a little extreme, lol!

It's a lovely colour though, and should look great when its finished.

This reminds me of my feeble attempts to find clothing that would actually fit. Everything I can squeeze myself into (I am a Hobbit) has sleeves like this. Chubby person with relatively short arms and clothing from the rack - a true nightmare!
