Tour down under 2013
This week I've spent quality time getting my cycling fix..
I managed to watch the pre Tour down under stage race on the east side on the Sunday night.
The weather was warm and dry and I checked out the tour support teams too.
I got very close to the packs.
This is the behind the scenes 'nosy' around the support crews.
For the Twi-hards, 'Edward' is in town too.
I was able to visit DK Fabrics during the week. DK's an absolutely huge shop for a sane sewer to endure without help from a friend. There were more jungle prints than you could point your bow and arrow at.
But I did take a sewing friend and now she has the matching zipper and fold over binding for her crotchet fabric to make a casual jacket. I have enabled a fellow sewer. My job here is done :)
Oh, and another friend asked me to toile check a pattern (New Look 6457) for her DD while I was here and I did. Her Mum now has a basic dress bodice that fits her DD and can sew up a dress for without needing to test fit her DD in person.
Now that does make this telecommuting or virtual sewing or enabling a family?

Sounds like an exciting week to me!
Interesting week and I think virtual sewing (no sewing machine packed this time?)
Your week sounds like great fun.
Virtual sewing makes a lovely seasoning to cycling IMO ;)
You've had a terrific week!
That New Look pattern is very classy. Yay for sewing enabling!
enabling... all good!
That is cool about the toile! You are SO generous with your sewing time!!
Your trip looks very interesting. Glad DK Fabrics isn't in Sydney!
