I want one!
My own Elvis, not a butterfly, though they are stunning.

Patchwork & Quilting ... Welcome to the Darkside / Re: Today I made a discovery

@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!!!

I saw this & I thought you may be interested! / Re: 20% Off Style Arc Gift Vouchers until Christmas Eve
« on: December 16, 2019, 12:29:15 PM »
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.

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

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

I find a rotary cutter much more accurate than scissors when cutting knits.

Fun with Fabric / Re: Pound Fabrics
« on: December 04, 2019, 11:31:02 AM »
Never heard of Pound Fabrics before and I really shouldn’t browse fabric websites whilst unsupervised 
They have several fleece backed jerseys which should be lovely for my DGD and they could be bought in individual metres plus a couple of pieces for me
Certainly worth a punt but I now will have to be a lot more circumspect when I do the sewing class trip to Leeds next week
Hey Ho it’s nearly Christmas.

In the wardrobe / Re: Jersey Courtney
« on: December 03, 2019, 22:42:25 PM »
I’ve started using a glue stick, shock horror.
At the moment I use a Prym one that does not clog the needle. It’s especially good on knit necklines. Once it’s finished I’m going to try a standard glue stick. A friend uses one on her hems before she coverstitches and says she has had no problems.
