Have you incorporated different textures, smooth and silky, ridged cord, soft and woolly etc?

I don't know, Lowena, I've not actually read it yet. I will let you know in due course.

Block of the Month 2017 / Re: Block of the Month - March

I will do, I promise.

Really? Liking the member.?  That's a bit more personal than liking the information. Don't want people getting an inferiority complex.

I just liked a post three times and the counter went up accordingly. I had assumed it was a one off thing.
Not that it's a problem, just sharing the knowledge.

Urgh, tried this whilst I'm not well, not to be recommended. I've spent an hour on it and haven't even bothered with the border. I don't know if the instructions are confusing, or my addled brain is being unreceptive.
I do know that a quarter inch seam only reared its ugly head near the end.
I'll have to have another try near the end of the month.

Wouldn't it be quicker to sew them back to back than to glue them? You're going to have the machine out for the tape anyway.

Well done Bodgit'

I think a few categories would be useful.
Perhaps clothing, household, patchwork and quilting, toys

They are both re-hemmed  now to suitable length. Bit of a lighter coloured 6" stripe along the bottom, but nobody else will notice that, and the are only drawn closed when all visitors have left the building.

Used up my sewing time today though.

I didn't even consider dry cleaning these. They charge by the sq metre, and these are floor to ceiling, two drops per curtain buggers.

Cheaper to buy new.

Unfirtunately, My hallway curtains are now 6" short after a 20 minute cool wash.   :(

Fortunately, there is a doubled 6 1/2 " hem on them.

Unfortunately, lazy me had machine sewed the hem.

Fortunately, it's Sunday afternoon and I have time free ( if I ignore the Internetz) to unpick.

How very impressive.
It must be such an exciting course to be on.
If I had my time again (old gimmer emoticon), I think I'd like to do something like that.

normal iPad, not mini. Use it both ways, stays the same either way. It's not a problem for me, nothing I could get cross about.
