Thanks to all those who contributed to this Meetup. Here's the information, minus all the sewing chat- what a busy lot you are with your machines.
Free patterns
New from Mood
Fabrics. Trying to think of an excuse to make it, although I would wear a cami
underneath it.

Samantha is definitely going to make this cheat’s short
jacket kimono out of some wafty fabric she has found that will match my summer
wardrobe... https://byhandlondon.com/blogs/by-hand-london/15132413-diy-kimono-style-robe-the-lazy-sewists-guide-to-the-art-of-distraction
Questions
Samantha asked “Do
any of you use a pen for drawing on the fabrics? I’m looking for
recommendations - I’m so sick of my rubbish tailors chalk and chalk pencils
dragging across the fabric and not making a consistent mark / endless
licking...”
Farina responded “ I have a washable blue pen which is good.
I think there a lot of brands maybe Prym do them. I also have a pink one that
disappears on ironing (and erasable pen one end) but tbh by the time I finish
my project the ink has faded”

Podcasts. Samantha said her favourite and the one she is catching up on
previous episodes of is Love to Sew. Good topics, easy listening, light
hearted. I like "Dressed- the
History of Fashion" https://www.podbean.com/podcast-detail/rhbsi-6641e/Dressed-The-History-of-Fashion-Podcast
It covers all sorts of topics connected with fashion, both old and new. You can
get several suggestions for sewing related podcasts ( and a lot more stuff as
well) from The Foldline's weekly blog. Here's the link to this week's post https://thefoldline.com/2020/04/19/sew-reporter-19th-april/
