Ahem......to the tune of Abba's Dancing Queen please maestro!
Friday night and the lights are low
I’m looking out for something to sew…..
Its gotta be the right project, getting in the swing
I can hardly choose just one thing
I can hardly choose just one thing
Everybody should see me stitch
The night is young and I’ve got that ……itch
With a bit of new fabric, everything is fine
With a bit of new fabric, everything is fine
You’re in the mood for a stitch
And when you get the itch...
You are the stitching queen, not as young as you once had been..... oooh oooh
stitching queen, feel the beat from the Janome...... oooohhh ooohhh
You can blog, you can sew, having nowhere else to go
You can blog, you can sew, having nowhere else to go
See that girl, watch that scene, dig in the stitching queen
(and with unreserved apologies to Abba - especially if they heard me singing along )
1. Fabrics from Pipijoe (love these to bits)
2, 3 Fabrics from Amitie as part of Blog mailout and destined for dollie clothes i think.
4. Some gocco'd pieces for the scarf
Hi there stitching queen. I found you one day wenn I was browsing trough 'todays creative blog' archives and have been lurking ever since. But this post is so great I have to comment. You are certainly not only a talented seamstress but there is a songwriter in you also.
ReplyDeleteCan I reference to this post on my blog?
greetings, from the Netherlands
Great song lyrics. I dig the stitching queen. Love your fabrics, they are all gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteROFL!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I really needed a good laugh today :-D
Now I'm off to wipe the tears off my face (tears from laughing), and I can go back to studying.... LOL!
I'll be giggling over this for some time....
Ooh! You got the red riding hood fabric!
ReplyDeleteThat song is very appropriate - heading back into the sewing room right now!

Laughing so hard I just woke the baby up. Thanks that just made my young evening oh stiching queen.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, I've just cacked myself laughing. What a hoot!! You are so very talented at song writing.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite bit "Feel the beat from the Janome" - Classic.
Oh yes and the red riding hood fabric is my fave. :)

ReplyDeletelmao It will never sound the same again! If there was an award for blog post of the week this would win it. :o)
ReplyDeleteJodie, you are just TOO TOO funny, I am still wetting myself laughing and I think I'll be singing that song for the rest of the weekend!
ReplyDeleteI second everyone else's comments you are definitely the stitching and blogging queen - best post of the MONTH to you Jodie! Got the song well and truly stuck in my mind and I've bookmarked the page too so I can learn the words properly!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for such a good laugh (not at your singing of course!!!)
Lucy xxxx

ReplyDeleteAlso loved the tape measure purse and the mini quilt you received, absolutely perfect! Tracey
ROFL
ReplyDeleteThanks Jodie, that cheered me up no end. I'm going to have that song stuck in my head for the rest of the night now though. Damn.

I am sitting her laughing. You are too clever! Love the fabric!
ReplyDeleteFantastic! Made me want to wander off and slip on some thigh-high white boots and a ridiculously short dress/long t shirt.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous fabrics. x
I've just sat here singing and laughing all at the same time. Mr Monda has looked at me like I am completely mad. Thanks for making me laugh Stiching Queen!

oh look ^^^ I can't spell stitching. A hard week at work is to blame...
ReplyDeleteHA~!! we can now call you the 'freaky-creative-selvedge- write-a-funny-ditty-lady!
ReplyDeleteThis made me giggle, thank you! I need to print out the new and improved lyrics and stick them next to my sewing machine so I can sing along while I stitch!
ReplyDelete(As an aside, I can't remember how I stumbled across your blog but I'm a regular visitor now. I'm so happy to find someone else who thinks selvedge is as cute as I do!)
OMG that was so funny, you have made my night. I like the bit about having no where else to go, who needs to go anywhere when you have sewing and blogging, life is complete.
ReplyDeleteThanks for putting a smile on my face.

Oooh - that song's a bit too catchy.... I can see it being and "ear worm", as they say in Germany. I'll be stitching and singing that all weekend!
ReplyDeleteLove your song. I sang right along. I am definitely old enough to know that song! What a fun post!
ReplyDeletePerfect theme song for you Jodie! Love your Amitie fabrics - they will make extra cute dollies clothes.
ReplyDeleteLove the lyrics...now if you can only record it so that we can hear your singing to ABBA. Love them!
ReplyDeletefabulous - i don't think abba would mind at all.

Loved it... especially the janome line. Just the thing to loft the spirits on a dull day...
ReplyDeleteyep, "feel the beat from the Janome"!!!hahhahahahah
ReplyDeleteThis is too good - two of my favourite things...Abba and vicarious stitching!
ReplyDeleteHa! The lyrics are awesome Jodie and they made me laugh so much, I'll be singing them all day!
ReplyDeleteAllison x
You're hilarious....and yes I did sing along while I was reading (he he he)
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking this is the start of a whole NEW West End phenomenon! Forget songbook dramas like 'Mama Mia, We Will Rock You and that new Take That one' - thuis could be knit-a-longa theeeayter :-)
ReplyDeletehehe...great lyrics...the modern day anthem for us sewing buffs
ReplyDeletethat's soooo funny and great idea of yours!! I'll be singing here for the rest of the weekend....
ReplyDeleteriding hood fabric is wonderfull!!
Coo! Wot a Supertrouper you are!
ReplyDeleteMamma Mia, that was brilliant! ...except now I can't get Dancing Queen out of my head. That fabric is beautiful- bet it cost a lot of Money Money Money. Does Your Mother Know?
ReplyDelete...sorry, I promise I'll stop.
Fantastic. Thanks for a great laugh.
ReplyDeleteYep that Janome line is pure gold.
ReplyDeletethis sure did crack me up Jodie! You go girl!!! Abba rocks!! thanks so much too for your helpful hints on my bag making I do appreciate it. :)
ReplyDeleteYou would probably win the Eurovision song contest with those lyrics!!LOL-you are so funny and the fabric is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteLOVE your work Stitching Queen!
ReplyDeleteOh yes! Great song - with the added benefit of changed lyrics to sway the soul of all stitchers.
ReplyDeleteI am going to have that song stuck in my head now for the rest of the week :). I wish I could make dolls so that I could make doll clothes out of the Amitie fabric ...
ReplyDeleteLove it, love it, love it! Great fabrics too!
ReplyDeletemmm spooky, I'm running into Abba references everywhere... not sure what that means, but making me wish I still had my t-shirt from when I was 9!!
ReplyDeletecongratulations on winning the living creatively competition. I think we should just call you Queen Selvedge instead of Ric Rac!
