Pasta dinner at my house has always been an ordeal. My sister only likes al dente and my mum only likes over cooked mush so I've compromised by removing pasta from the menu entirely. 😂 Congrats on your surprise prizes!
That tape is invaluable for putting zips in and hemming. Tutorial idea: how to eat fast! I have my own tool set, including pliers, in my sewing room 🙂 Congrats on your pattern and mini workshop wins.
I used to use a pencil like that at work. It was a black one and was used to mark faults on plain glossed pottery. The string you pull to unwrap the pencil nib as it wears down.
Thanks for the great lunchtime tutorial. I’ve always wanted to make one of those key thingies😜 you made me chuckle when you were talking about your PJs and the kids. Thanks for keeping it real.😂❤
it's stabilising tape honey, put it in your jersey hem seams (it's double sided sticky tape) particularly on viscose jersey or floppy jerseys to stabilise before you sew, then your seam will be wavy free (it washes away) its genius
Thank you for such a fun and educational time. The key fob and your variation of pliers are great. Congratulations on winning two prizes. You are a lucky girl. As I remember, one of the advent boxes said something like 'when everything goes well'.❤😂 🇦🇺 ❤️
Time to buy lottery tickets - you’ve won three patterns and a Christmas card from me! LOL. What’s this - another prize. You’re a lucky girl! If you buy a 18mm or 25mm rotary cutter; you can wiz through cutting your pattern out. I love doing that!
That was another great tutorial! Congratulations on the wins! I won a gift certificate for fabric through Love Notions patterns this last week for $25! Aren’t we lucky!
Hi Ruan loving the Vlogmas videos 😊 Can I ask the name of your sewing table which you can adjust the height of and whether you would definitely recommend it please, did you do a vlog about it?
Hi honey - yes I did talk about it in a vlog but I can't remember which one now 🙈 This is the link to the one I have. It's great for me to be able to adjust the height as it helps my back/shoulder. Also great if you work from home and want to stand for a little bit: flexispot.co.uk/comhar-all-in-one-standing-desk-wooden-top.html
I think the string on the pencil unravels so you don’t have to sharpen it 😊
That’s correct. “Self sharpening”
Well I never bloomin knew that!
I was wondering that!
Hi Ruan, it’s a self sharpening chalk pencil, pull the thread to sharpen, it is also heat erasing, Deb
That's so cool!
Love your vid’s, on the pencil pull the string and that unravels the paper from around the top end of the marker xx😊
Well I never! I had no idea 🤣
I love those marking pencils, Ruan! The string unravels to reveal more of the marker.
ooooooh!

You were On It yesterday Ruan, absolutely buzzing, and a lunchtime tutorial, get you! Anyway, another fab vlog, fair made me chuckle. 😊

Double sided tape is a god send when making bags 😂
Ooooh that might come in handy then!

Thank you for the key fob tutorial. I often wondered how they were done.
You're welcome 🤗
You should patent that padded pliers, Ruan! Great little gift.
🤣
Thanks for another laugh out loud vlog Ruan! That gonk fabric from yesterday was hilarious! 🤣
Glad you enjoyed it 🤣

ooooh - thanks honey - I had a feeling it might be that but wasn't sure!

Thank you Ruan great gift idea and vlog 😊

Clever key chain design.
🤗
You pull the thread to reveal more of the pencil.
That is so cool - how have I never seen one of these before!
You crack me up 🤣
🤣😛
Thankyou ❤❤❤
You're welcome 😊
16:30 what is that device in the top left corner Ruan? It shows the time and such but I think I also saw you play video on that? Thanks ❤
Looks like an "Alexa Echo Show" by Amazon.

Dying to hear about the dress. And can you put a link up for the key chain metal wear
Sorry I totally forgot! Here you go:

Hi Ruan. The pencil is a China pencil which you unravel not sharpen. You need to get a lottery ticket I’d say x
That's amazing!
I'm watching you in brushed cotton Peppermint Lounge pants and a WBM easy tee!!! Twinning! No bra though...that came off 3 mins after I got home!!!
Ha haq - mine did too but I had to put it back on so I didn't offend you guys 🤣
Where did you buy the hardware for your key lanyards Ruan?
I can't remember as I've had mine in the stash for years - I've bobbed a link to Amazon in the description box for you 🙂
The pencil with the string is not actually for fabric, it is for marking non-porous things such as glass or photos. I had to google it.❤
I have one like it that is for fabric.
Amazing!
Did Rachel enlighten you?😊
She has done yes - it's for stretchy hems - it washes away - how amazing is that!
xXX 👍👍👍

Think it may be the Naya x
