@sewcolourful Oh my god, the tiredness! I was not prepared for it. One of our visitors this week was telling me how tired they were and I wanted to punch them in the face 😂

It’s time!! #SewingBee

@aDatingDad Make room for more than just her clothes/shoes. Moving in with someone who already has a space for everything can be tough because you’re moving into an established home, totally different from moving into a new place and unpacking together

@MichaelUlloaPT I told my MIL I was veggie when I cut down on meat so I didn’t have to eat it when we were round for dinner 😬 But now she always cooks veggie for me AND frequently buys me my favourite veggie things because she saw them in the shop 😄

@devilwrstartan I hate that people still just presume, but worst I had was the in-laws giving us a “Christmas at the Xs” the year we got married! We were already married by this point, they knew I hadn’t changed my name…🤷🏻‍♀️

[Kayleigh @kayleighblogs]

@devilwrstartan If you do decide to keep yours or double-barrel be fully prepared for people automatically assuming you’ve taken your husband’s name though. We got a lot of cards to Mr & Mrs and also Mr & Mrs + HIS full name!! 😠

[Kayleigh @kayleighblogs]

@devilwrstartan I kept mine, had thought I might change when/if kids came along but with baby on the way I still want my own surname. Baby is getting husband’s surname & mine as middle name. I did consider double-barrel but the closer we got to the wedding the more keeping mine just felt right

@bethanyjwoods Yeah, went to school in Linlithgow (West Lothian). I think when they first started half days they were on Wednesday though and then moved to Friday 🤔

@RoseStokes I’m pregnant just now and definitely have noticed a difference. Forget words, and also say them wrong/get sentences muddled round!? 🤷🏻‍♀️ Weirdest thing.

@OMGgemma Ours is set to 22.5 in the morning & at night & during the day it doesn’t come on unless temp gets under 16. We live in an old building so it never actually reaches 22.5, normally sits around 18. I have a heater next to my desk that I turn on if it gets too cold during the day

@theinstachat My favourite make from last year, and most liked post

@theinstachat A6. I like making Reels but they’re time consuming & it’s the idea that you always have to have “content” on the brain, so when I’m sewing something I’m also thinking about how I can make a Reel out of it rather than enjoying sewing & taking a photo at the end #theinstachat

[Kayleigh @kayleighblogs]

@theinstachat A5. I always feel less creative in January so it takes me a bit to get back into it. I also post mostly about sewing and haven’t done much of that so far this year so it’s partly lack of content 😕 #theinstachat

[Kayleigh @kayleighblogs]

@IntentionalMum @theinstachat I’ve noticed this too. I don’t love it, I would go to explore to find new content/people

[Kayleigh @kayleighblogs]

@theinstachat A4. I feel like I see a mix of all types of content but possibly a bit more Reels. Also a lot of ‘suggested’ Reels that are baby/pregnancy related (I’m pregnant so I get the algorithm giving me this content but it’s not all that I want to see 😂) #theinstachat

[Kayleigh @kayleighblogs]

@theinstachat A3. 1.details on what I actually changed from the original pattern https://t.co/ll9IaaTqXQ I actually drafted the pattern pieces to make the hack 3.the other ‘hacked’ versions of the dress I’ve made. Mixture of grid, carousel & Reel #theinstachat

[Kayleigh @kayleighblogs]

@theinstachat A2. Not really sure 🤔 I think it’s a popular dress pattern just now and maybe people like to see you tweak something to make it your own/get ideas on how they could also adapt it? 🤷🏻‍♀️ #theinstachat

[Kayleigh @kayleighblogs]

@theinstachat A1. I’ve not posted a lot so far this year, but my last Reel had the best reach; a hack of a dress pattern I’ve made before #theinstachat

[Kayleigh @kayleighblogs]

@theinstachat Hello 👋🏻

[Kayleigh @kayleighblogs]

@liskwood_ It’s like studying, I’ll do anything to get out of doing my tax return! 😂
