I live in 2 places every week, one is my normal house the other is an off grid cabin where some of the, ahem, niceties are not always there.  (I mean I have an outhouse, with this.)

So I need to make a toiletry bag, which in this case is to be able to hold a roll of toilet paper, hand soap, feminine hygiene  products...you know stuff you need going to the bathroom.  Would this actually fit this contest? 

And why a bag?  Well, I can't leave the TP outside because it's not exactly weatherproof, and my kid has a habit of using it all and not telling anyone and I can't yell very well.  Plus, I got water there but I don't want to leave soap because it's not weatherproof and did you know soap in the sun will turn clear from whatever color it was?  Plus, because it's an hour away we often use the rest area between here and there and I don't want to use John Wayne paper* on my nether bits, plus they rarely have soap.


*It's rough, tough and doesn't take crap off anyone.

OMG @Kwaaked  ... you cheered up my day .. and I remember the JWTP in school both primary and secondary (which was a posh private school so surprising they were so cheap) Izal .... :devil:

Often, they come with the pick-foam, so I can customize for whatever I am carrying.  Here is the one I just set up.



I really like that idea But How did you customise the foam? @Sara-S

I have soooooo much fabric I dont need them and thought it would be a nice challenge for someone to use fabrics they might not normally choose.

Patchwork & Quilting ... Welcome to the Darkside / Re: Quilt too heavy for free motion!
« on: March 18, 2024, 18:51:42 PM »
Whats wrong with a walking foot I say ....

If your quilt is humungous you can either ... take it to a longarmer or making sure its supported and not falling off the table use a walking foot.

Why follow 'their' destructions ??? I would outline/inline the Monstera and maybe add some veins! or just diagonally wavy line it (serpentine stitch on max settings)

Is this going to be a used as a quilt or wall hanging??

Is it going to be frequently washed ??

For other members ... Here it is

Hi there @Every@Body  ...

Just a reminder to anybody paying their subs by Bank Transfer.

I do not routinely check TSP's bank account;
so if you send your subs by Bank Transfer PLEASE do pm me and let me know ...
I will then be able to kick the relevant Gremlin who will activate your subscriptions for another year.

Thank you xxx
