Ugh! This reminds me that my Sewing Room needs attention in the biggest way! I can NEVER keep it neat when I sew. NEV. ER!! I'm not that way when I cook -I always clean as I go- I'm not that way when I write or send thank-you notes, or practice reams of music. But when I sew, it's as if a cyclone has gone through that room. So, needless to say, I completely identified with this poem!! Excellent! I believe I will be sharing it with my fellow sewing friends! xo

    I know enough about my sewing skills to leave it alone! Bless this mess. Like you, in the kitchen I tidy up as I go. The rule in my house is that whoever cooks does not have to do the washing up. Lucky person who gets to do the washing up after I prepare dinner because there is hardly anything to do! It annoys the crap out of me when I have to wash up if someone else has cooked because they invariably have used every pot in the kitchen, splattered the walls, floor and ceiling, left vegetable remnants in the sink, overflowed the pot so I have to clean the stove etc etc.

    Yeah, that's definitely taking advantage in a case like that. I hope they at least cooked well!!!!

A very well-written Tyburn poem about a dress maker that sometimes can make a mess when she does not concentrate on what she is doing.

Just like your poem sewing now by hand is killing my hands

Hello :)
Your poem is relatable - I was the only girl in my home economics class at high school that never earned a sewing machine licence! Funny really, as my mum is so gifted with a needle - she made my wedding dress!
I can sew buttons and badges on, but that's my limit :)
Best wishes, Debra

    You and me both! My mum was such a whiz with sewing. I'm only any good with things like curtains... straight lines.

Hello Mystery Writer!
What a hoot!
You have described my sewing abilities perfectly and in a well-crafted Tyburn. Not an easy feat, as Tyburns, while they appear simplistic, are in fact challenging. Yours is humorous and delightful!
Best Wishes!

    I'm pleased you like this... it describes me too, never as skilful or careful as my mother.

It would appear that you are cleverly correct to the writing prompt,
with solid rhyming. The cartoon-art is well complementing.
Best wishes with this cute contest entry.

    I can sew straight lines... ok with curtains, but it's curtains for anything trickier!
