The pattern I used:

Looks like it's being turned into flats

How does he choose where to visit?

I've recently got this game and have played 2p and 3p with no luck. I just don't get what we're doing wrong but we always run out of player cards.

Does anyone else think Vik has just lost interest? He doesn't seem to be getting involved in anything

Sorry, I'm making a necktie with some satin polyester fabric and for the shell of the necktie there are 3 pieces, the fat end of the tie, the smaller end and a middle piece. The pattern says to sew a diagonal seam by placing right sides together at an angle.

In my original image the bottom seam looks nice and crisp and professional but the top one looks messier and has some kind of fold line or lip right by the seam but I can't figure out why.

The coordinates from the image suggest the image was taken on Flagstaff Road, Reading near Reading Green Park Station? Do you recall being near that station?

Thank you for the feedback! I've realised after sewing that I was using a normal zipper foot that came with my machine - I've just ordered a concealed zipper foot so hopefully I can stitch closer to the teeth. I'll also be sure to press the zipper coils next time.

I followed a wonderful tutorial by Mimzy and Company: https://youtu.be/Pfm-ebUAdo8

Which game is your favourite?

Thank you for the advice! I've just attempted following the tutorial. At the end of the first round I slip stitched into the top of the first ch3 but because I wasn't changing colour I slip stitched 2 across and then slip stitched into the corner. Is that right?

I also used a slightly smaller hook and tried to tighten up the tension.

Thank you! It's the parking method, also my first time trying it! Here's where I learnt: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOEQ17CkKeo&t=792s&pp=ygUbY3Jvc3Mgc3RpdGNoIHBhcmtpbmcgbWV0aG9k0gcJCdkKAYcqIYzv
