For Sale, Wanted & Free to a good home / Re: Button Bazaar 2024
« on: March 04, 2024, 17:10:03 PM »
Oh you girls would have laughed yourselves silly seeing me attempt to get to the button box ... The sewing room is still very much in .. ahem ... progress , which of course means the Spare/art/sewing room that was is inundated with 'stuff' ...

So please try to imagine me trying to stretch my small legs over piles and piles of stuff to reach my button box without causing catastrophic landslides of fabric, boxes, threads ... but I did  ...

Malaising the day away, unable to get started on the almost finished Quilt (WHY???)
I suddenly, for no reason thought of my long ignored button box and the delights held within!

When i used to be a get up and goer I had a (very, very) small concern making waistcoats to fit anybody and everybody and I  (ahem!) accrued a great many glorious buttons...
that since have laid quietly in the Button box...Until now!

I am now offering these buttons for sale at the prices I paid(ish) in the '90's.

There may be the perfect button for you, a twin to the one lost on your favourite outfit or just something darling that you couldn't bear not to have ....

Whatever, I am open to reasonable offers on multiples and all prices include 1st class postage!

so step inside ........

Had a go at sewing some more scrap blocks this morning, but as I still have Covid, I found I didn't really have enough enthusiasm to do much

These strip blocks take ages to sew, much longer than a normal P&Q block so I must say youre doing really well @Sheilago

Then by mid-May/early-June I should have trawled a few charity shops for anything worth reusing; but not sure if that would count in the stash one though!

Not quite charities stash, but my ex's shirts could have gone to the Charity until I realised quite how much gorgeous fabric there was in them ... Two quilts and two cushions later ....

You can always snip a teensy corner off the wadding ... I actually find wider bindings easier to mitre.

Quick question - is cotton lawn too thin to use in quilting? (I have some scraps leftover from making blouses for me)

Not if they've been interfaced

and of course it will keep everything away from curious paws.

You would think that wouldnt you ???  :laughing:

It is the embryo of a SR as you can see its beautifully clear and tidy(ish ... theres never actually tidy in Imiworld ) because everything of matter ie fabric, thread, stash is in the other room waiting to get sorted.

First I need some track lighting otherwise I will be sewing in my shadow.

The Quilt is Veges from 2018.
