Hello there Mmb93!  A big welcome from me too!

Look forward to seeing some of your projects!

Jessie, who is very happy to be here!!  :),  but who has far too many sewing machines to be healthy, and a fabric stash which is becoming embarrassing.

Hello!  I tried making something (Bob the Builder pre-printed fabric into a quilted cushion cover) for my little boy.  Wasn't a huge success - it's hard to sew sensibly with a 2 year old on one's knee!  Fortunately he's in the run-up to GCSEs and no longer does that kind of thing.


When your son gets to primary school expect lots of sewing projects because they have all sorts of excuses for costume days.  I recall Humpty Dumpty, St George, Woody, WWII evacuee, Tudor, Victorian, Fantastic Mr Fox, terracotta warrior, magician's cloak, and that's before we even get to the annual Xmas show!

Hi Marie, Welcome to TSP. What’s your Instagram name as I’d like to follow you please. I’m a newby and feel inspired when looking at other people’s amazing sewing creations.

Wow, you were kept busy. Luckily, my son’s school doesn’t do world book day or competitive dressing up at Halloween so I’m spared all that palaver. Phew!

There's a link in Mmb93's profile - click on the black rectangle at the bottom, underneath her avatar.
I might look as though I'm talking to you, but inside my head I'm sewing.
