Hello everyone.
My first day here and so looking forward to reading about your experiences, tips and new ideas.

I’ve been sewing on and off since I learnt at school many moons ago.  My main interests are clothes and soft furnishings.  Having said that I’m just about to embark on a new adventure and try to make myself a handbag.

 :D

Hi Skater's Mum
Welcome to TSP from me too. Don't be too surprised if you get asked about sewing skating dresses,  many of us knew a 'skatersmum' from a previous forum who makes skating costumes.

I hope you get lots of help and inspiration for your bags without too many suggestions for skating dresses.  ;) :D
Hopefully back more regularly! Ballroom sewing may be permanently paused but bag making is the current focus.

Hello there @Skatersmum !  A big welcome from me too, nice to have you here!

I have made a few bags, but nothing I would really use - apart from a few totes, so I'll follow with interest!

Anyone offered you a brew?

:drink: :cake:

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.

Welcome to TSP.

I've often thought about making bags, but I've never done anything more complicated than a tote.

Just wanted to say thank you for all the lovely welcomes.

I have been cruising round the site - was a late night as I stayed up way past my bedtime reading some of the diaries.  So much to choose from, so many great ideas and brilliant photos.

It will be amazing to finish the home improvements and get on to the lovely sewing projects I have in mind.
