There was a time when I assumed the Royal Flying Doctor Service was for people who live in the outback.

It was late on Saturday 1 November last year, and I was getting ready for Canberra Frocktails when the phone rang. My husband Matthew had fallen ill on a two-week work trip to Western Australia. While the RFDS flew him from Esperance to Perth for the emergency surgery that saved his life, I was at home scrambling for a seat on a plane.

You don't have to live remote. You just have to be somewhere remote when it happens.

This October we're each cycling 583 kilometres — the distance they flew him — to raise money for the RFDS. We're aiming for $10,000.

Most "what you need to start sewing" lists are shopping lists.

Mine is shorter: two pairs of scissors, pins, needles, a tape measure that tells the truth, a quick unpick, something to mark with, and decent thread. That's what I sewed with for decades — I didn't add anything until I turned 40.

So I've written up the honest version. What to buy first, what can wait, what you can skip entirely, and a few things nobody tells beginners: why polyester thread is stronger than cotton, why a steamer won't replace an iron, and how to tell when your quick unpick has gone blunt.

Because I love a hoodie with a draw cord, but I don’t love sewing buttonholes on a hood- eyelets are quicker, and they give a really elevated finish. Make sure you interface the back to stabilise the fabric

Sometimes when you buy fabric, it doesn’t immediately tell you what it wants to become. Sometimes it makes you wait a while. This denim has been sitting in my stash for more than 20 years- I remember buying it before I moved to Canberra, and that was nearly 21 years ago. Early 2000’s me was obsessed with bootleg jeans, so it’s perhaps fitting that this is the destiny of my same-era denim. I’m using it to make a toile of the DAUGHTER JUDY . Wish me luck- it’s my first foray back into rigid denim after a VERY long time of only wearing stretch denim.

French Terry Pineapples for the cool weather or Papayas in Linen Viscose for when the weather heats up?

The picture gives it away, but if you were to guess the three most popular colours of pre-made bias binding, what would they be? So you don’t lose any sleep, they are in fact 🥇Red 🥈Petrol 🥉Black. And they are the most popular in both stretch and non-stretch bias binding.

Are you more biased to any of the colours?

The remnant basket is packed full this morning including a fabulous 2.2m length of Liberty Sycamore Linen. It’s the result of getting distracted while cutting, so there is 2.2 perfect metres, and almost 20cm of angled edge.

Like all remnants, when they go, they have gone!
