This is a veeeery long shot - but does anyone have one of the old 90s Little Mermaid kids sleeping bags that they'd be willing to sell? I can't find any in NZ - only overseas with shipping costs alone of $60-120!!

OK, fine.
In that case, the govt must take the position that they cannot and will not have different prices for carbon for pretty much every other business in New Zealand, & the dairy industry. Time for them to pay full price for methane emmissions. That would be a truly commercial approach #nzpol

Bluesky sewists - can anyone tell me what the issue is here? I was trying to do a hem in knit fabric and it was doing random long stitches so I switched to a twin needle as I wondered if my needle was blunt and the twin gives me one line of good stitches and one bad - and the back is a mess!
