Can anyone recommend a printer that’s great for printing PDF patterns and not too expensive to refill? My current one (pictured) is terrible at PDF patterns - every piece ends up a tiny little bit out so I always go for patterns with copyshop options but that doesn’t always cut it when I want a new pattern now, now, now!
Here’s another shot of the penguin sweatshirt, modelled by its owner. This is his ‘penguin rock star’ pose apparently! And although in the previous photo it looks perfectly turned out, in this one you can see that the collar is standing up a bit (!) Ah well, nobody’s perfect. Least of all me.

Penguins, penguins everywhere – if you look closely. New on the blog: a wintery sweatshirt for my 5-year old. And why making a sweatshirt from a t-shirt pattern isn’t always a breeze! (Link in profile)

Just one New Year’s Re-sew-lution for my this year: to sort out all my UFOs and WIPs. 
That includes completing my Curated Closet project! I’ve added a new post to my blog, in which I try on loads of so-completely-not-me clothes to try to narrow down my style profile. Fun? Kind of… Hopefully it’ll lead to a better use of my sewing time, and fewer me-made things in the ‘meh’ and wardrobe orphans pile.
