So far it's all blades, sewists are dangerous people it seems !
Tell me about your fancy tools though, I also need a christmas gift list!
Sadly I'm too new to have anything really fancy. But I'd spent enough time climbing around on the floor complaining about having to cut everything with scissors that the husband went out and sourced a) a massive cutting mat b) an actual rotary cutter and replacement blades, and c) a thing of proper pattern weights with cute critters on them so I'll stop using our phones because one day I was definitely going to kneel on one of them and break the screen.
(This is unrelated but writing this out just reminded me I had a nightmare last night where I broke my phone screen, weird)
Anyway I posted pics of the haul on Mastodon and IG and nobody understood banana for scale! Everyone just thought it was a weird pattern weight or something!
Beautiful use of the banana scale, that's a huge mat! I appreciate the thoughtfullnes of the replacement blades, that's a really nice gift.
It really was! I told him not to get me anything so technically he was being naughty but you know, I'll let him off.
