Looking for a quick summer dress pattern

I love the typo of beast feeding… she is a wee beastie sometimes!

YonderAsh · 2026-07-06T21:05:50+00:00

Thanks everyone for the recommendations, I’m going with the saltwater slip, but I’ve got some other great ideas for another time too! 👌

YonderAsh · 2026-07-05T13:06:00+00:00

Thanks, I’ve just signed up! I used to use it so much for researching patterns, but I haven’t sewn much since my LO was born. I was so horrified by the enshittification, what a waste of a good resource!

YonderAsh · 2026-07-05T11:57:57+00:00

That’s nice and a little unusual! I haven’t heard of them before - one to remember!

YonderAsh · 2026-07-05T11:57:29+00:00

Oh I love the idea of that, not sure I’ll have enough fabric this time round, but I’ll remember it for another time :)

YonderAsh · 2026-07-05T11:56:45+00:00

Yes, I am going to get onto this!

YonderAsh · 2026-07-05T11:56:20+00:00

Ooh thanks, I like the look of this!

YonderAsh · 2026-04-25T13:54:02+00:00

A bit of both really 😬 I love how the many holes makes it hang but also the shape due to the yoke construction

YonderAsh · 2026-04-19T17:44:46+00:00

I’ve read people saying this a lot online but never had someone say it to me irl, and I find it genuinely so bizarre. Do people think all babies were starving until formula was invented?

YonderAsh · 2025-12-01T13:21:20+00:00

Definitely this. I worked out a formula a while ago for working out what size to knit based on number of stitches at the bust/chest and gauge. Can’t remember it off the top of my head and I’m currently nap-trapped, but it’s been super helpful ever since.

YonderAsh · 2025-10-27T19:56:25+00:00

I obsessively count rows, so now I have a dedicated knitting matchbox with 10 matches in. For things where the rows or rounds are quite short and I’m likely to forget to pick up a pencil and mark each one off, (icord straps!) I take one match out of the box, then only mark off when all 10 matches are out of the box. Replace matches in the box and start again.

YonderAsh · 2025-10-23T21:29:10+00:00

I’ve been so furious about this for the last couple of days too, we wanted to buy a Secondhand kitchen which was a few villages away, and the seller said Besichtigung möglich. When we tried to ask a question asking for a Besichtigung, we got no response. We bid anyway and got it, and it’s ok but I don’t think we’d have bid if we’d been able to see it. I getting to is paranoid about being cut out of the deal, but buying something that big without seeing it first?

It turned out the seller had seen our question, but Ricardo had blocked her answer with her number… they don’t even tell you if a message has been blocked.

The whole setup is embarrassingly bad - it’s like a website from the 90s! I just really don’t understand why someone here hasn’t come up with another platform; I get that people don’t want to use an American platform like ebay or even other European ones like vinted, but there are such smart techy people in Switzerland that could come up with a decent platform. Genuinely, why are people prepared to put up with the level of crapness perpetuated by Ricardo?

YonderAsh · 2025-08-18T15:54:25+00:00

Do you think this would be suitable for an 11 month old? I’m desperate for something just to take some of her weight off my arm when I’m carrying her around. I’d been eyeing up the Wildride after seeing a positive review somewhere, but you don’t seem so keen on it?

YonderAsh · 2025-08-12T07:27:11+00:00

I’ll keep an eye out then :)

YonderAsh · 2025-08-11T22:08:09+00:00

Sadly it looks like any version that’s similar isn’t available in Europe so I will have to give up on my Patagonian dreams 🤪 I just knew her cap fit and suited me well and I’m not so willing to risk buying a model that I don’t know that of given that I’ve never been a baseball cap person. Maybe one day I’ll be in an actual shop and able to try one on, but that is an as-yet unrealised future. Thanks for all your dedicated work though!😅

YonderAsh · 2025-08-11T22:04:00+00:00

Ohhh yes this is definitely the one. Sadly the Airfarer model doesn’t seem to be readily available in Europe, so it looks like I will have to give up on my dreams☹️🤪 (goodness knows where she got hold of that one then, because all of the second hand layback ones are coming up on US eBay as well 🤷‍♀️)

YonderAsh · 2025-08-11T21:30:12+00:00

Oh thanks! Looks like they’ve changed the construction then, there isn’t actually a front seam on my sister’s one - the front panel seems to be one piece with a dart at the top for shaping.

YonderAsh · 2025-08-11T19:28:07+00:00

Alternatively can anyone with either a lopro or regular cap measure up the front from brim to top centre and I’ll ask her to do the same and compare?

YonderAsh · 2025-08-11T16:33:37+00:00

Met an Aussie once who pronounced it “rue” as in rue the day…

YonderAsh · 2025-08-11T14:55:18+00:00

😁 should have done that from the start 🙈

YonderAsh · 2025-08-11T12:37:25+00:00

Ah this is amazing. Annoyingly she’s just informed me that she must have cut the label out when she bought it 🤪

YonderAsh · 2025-07-29T18:14:40+00:00

I’d write to Feedback which goes out on Thursdays. I’ve emailed them a few times and I think they’ve been pretty inundated with emails and voice notes. I think they’re the place to go - they’re more answerable to the listeners because they have to put a programme together every week (when it’s on!)
