Access All Accessories / Re: Simple man sewing.

Simple, not over engineered, looks perfect.

Just managed to read this, it must have been an amazing experience taking part.

813
Totally in awe.  The work in that is incredible.

I want one!

My own Elvis, not a butterfly, though they are stunning.

@Lowena have you had hard liquor or been hypnotised?

 I find it hard to belive you went into EWM without some form of coercion.  Next thing you will be telling us the gloves you bought were green!!!

Welcome from me too.

818
Now that is a very good idea!

I was thinking of dropping hints for one but think the people who buy for me will have shopped by now.  It never occurred to me to buy one for myself -< -<

Wow, for that price I would want it to cut out the fabric and sweep the floor afterwards.

That is absolutely beautiful. I’ve never seen a treadle in a cabinet like that, so neat.

The Show Must Go On / Re: Making Gymnastic Leotards

At least if it’s bit baggy you can take it in. If it’s too tight you’ll just have to get Theo into dance 0_0

Patchwork & Quilting ... Welcome to the Darkside / Westalee Rulers Course
« on: December 10, 2019, 14:00:16 PM »
I’ve just received the equipment list for my Westalee rulers course next March.

I’ve got most things already but have to prepare 12 quilt sandwiches with cotton wadding.  As my contribution to the Dark Side has been minimal recently I need some wadding and some plain cotton fabric. I’ll have a root through the stash but think I’ll need a small shop after Christmas.

They appear to want you to use Glide thread which I’m not familiar with but will buy some in appropriate colours once I’ve made my sandwiches.

I’m pleased I’ve been given plenty of notice of the requirements. It means I can wait until after Christmas to get things prepared.

I’m really looking forward to this course.

Fun with Fabric / Re: Pound Fabrics
« on: December 09, 2019, 19:37:54 PM »
I’ve just opened my parcel from Pound Fabrics and am really delighted.

Thanks Jessie for pointing this site out.

I bought some pointe and some fine jersey for toiles but am thinking that both will be fine for garments. There is some Star Wars jersey that will make matching PJs for the grandkids and some fleece backed jersey to make little jackets for my GD.

Lots to do now!

The Haberdashery / Re: Rotary cutters, no luck with using them
« on: December 07, 2019, 20:41:57 PM »
I find a rotary cutter much more accurate than scissors when cutting knits.
