Date: 5/27/11 3:48 PM A parka, muklucks, mitts and a fur scarf would have been ideal a few months ago!!
Now I want to sew the equivalent of a portable, wearable tent made from mosquito netting. Either that or we are going to have to start carrying our own blood transfusions kits here... it is getting brutal.  |

Date: 5/27/11 9:19 PM Welcome Cisco - hope you enjoy Pattern Review. There are a few of us Canucks lurking around the place. We pop up when you least expect it. I am on the west coast, so still pretty soggy out here this year. ------ http://bgballroom.wordpress.com to follow the progress on my next ballgown. |

Date: 6/7/11 1:12 PM Hi Nofear, - and all you other newbies!
I'm not too far from you- London(ish). There are also a few PRers in Stratford. Welcome to Pattern Review- it's a big place, but really friendly!
There is a Canadian Thread Here You might get more chatter there.

Date: 6/8/11 8:54 AM I love to sew, especially heirloom. I'm in Ottawa, Ontario, but I have lived in different parts of Canada as well as the States thanks to DH's military career. |

Date: 6/17/11 1:21 PM Hi ConnieBJ! I actually lived in London up until about 7 years ago, and I still work there :-)
I checked out the Canadian Thread link, but there's not much recent activity out there at all. Much more is happening here.
I'll put out a better post later everyone (hi all!), but I have to run today. |
