My mother used to be an avid patchworker/quilter but sadly is no longer able to sew. So I have rather a lot of books which I am unable to use - I'm a dressmaker and probably won't get into patchwork now

I don't know the best way to sell them, but I will start off as follows:

Books are up to £5 each plus postage. If you let me know what you are interested in I can give you a total quote.

If you need a book on a particular subject such as embroidery, sashiko, Japanese quilting etc I may be able to find it fir you

I'm definitely interested in the black fusible bias tape.

Would you like to send me a message and we can sort something.out?

Further destash of mum's workroom:

4 black, 1 silver and 1 gold pack of Fusible bias 6mm wide x 5 metres. £5 per pack including postage. - ALL SOLD

3 pairs bag handles and one pack of metal bag handle loops. All for £8 including postage.

Well Sara-s - I am told it is a Bonzai Ficus Cera.  I have got it on my window sill (in the sun when the sun comes out here which is not too often!) in a centrally heated house.  If I open the window I will move it so that it is not in a draught.

Fabrics £3 each piece plus £3 postage (only 1 lot of postage if you buy more than one).

1. (On left) Linen look (though I don't think it is linen, more likely man-made). 2 metres  x 140cm wide. — SOLD

2. Stripe fabric, possibly cotton or polycotton. 2.5 metres x 110cm wide  - SOLD

3. Check fabric (for man's winter shirt?). 2.7 metres x 92cm wide. - SOLD

4. Blue crinkle check. Man-made. 1.4 metres x 125cm wide. - SOLD

5. Paisley print ('Versailles' by Moda). Probably 100% cotton.  1.7 metres x 110cm wide.

6. Green plain (crepe?).  2 metres x 140cm wide.

I have spent an hour trying to upload a post on the 'for sale' section. Each time I do it it says "an error has occurred - you have already submitted this post."!
Yet when I look the post is not there. (this is the first time I have tried a post with a photo attached) . Any ideas please?

Hello and welcome from me, i'm a dressmaker too although I've not done so much lately.  When I was busy with work (mainly alterations) I tried to spend at least half an hour OUT of the sewing room.  It was my happy place even though it was work.  If I had work to finish I would rather get on with it than go and get the meal ready!!
