Thank you everyone for your kind and welcoming words! I feel like I've found one of the few places on the internet where there's no trolls or sarcasm and instead just genuinely nice people  :D

@Flobear @WildAtlanticWay @Pearl you asked for pictures of what I make - where would I upload them? I don't want to spam the wrong thread

@Lalu , why don’t you start a member’s diary in the wardrobe department?  That way you can post all your makes in one place.

Hi @Lalu You'll need to upload your pictures to an image hosting site and link to them in your post with the [img] tags. 

Lunapic is a very easy one to use.  You upload a picture, edit it if you want to, then scroll down the page and click on 'Imgur' where it says Save or Share.  Then copy the image url, click on the 'Insert Image' button above (the one that looks like a yellow and black photograph) and put the url between the tags.

If you decide to become a subscriber you can upload images directly to your posts.  Please make sure they're not too big though!

@Lalu, I wrote a little tutorial on using Lunapic, see below:

1.   Save your picture to your computer desktop (or somewhere you can find it easily).
2.   Use the Browse folder in Lunapic to find the image you want to upload.
3.   You will see that you have options to crop, scale or rotate.  If the image is large, pick scale and reduce.
4.   APPLY the resultant new size.
5.   Scroll to the bottom for the Save options and click on Imgur.
6.   Copy everything in the Image URL window and use the link to repost the image using the tiny Mona Lisa picture icon in reply.

Thanks @UttaRetch - I'm going to copy that and post it as a sticky in the Tech Tutorials section.

I really should have thought of that!   It's there now.  And I've corrected my spelling of your name...
