Check-In Post December 3rd 2020

Hello to all members, 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.


Today's Question: Do you follow patterns exactly or adjust them to suit your requirements?


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'm hopeless at following patterns exactly. Same goes for recipes, etc. And writing. I'd never get anything done because I invariably find I lack a specific ingredient/fabric/whatever and have to improvise. Plus I like designing, so I will tend to take an idea and use it tweaked to my own design. I've never really been one for following other people's rules! Though I do think the very first time you do something you need to follow at least some of the rules - after that you know which ones you can break!

I'm half way through the cushion covers - I should finish them today but will wait till the inner pads arrive on Monday before photographing.

Patterns are just guidelines, let your imagination flow free! It does suck when you're missing one vital thing to complete a project though.

You're so fast! I look forward to seeing the dragon cushions once they're complete.
