Yay! I joined in! With another break for taxi duties. I've embroidered the repair café wording in a nicer font. Wound the bobbin with embroidery thread as the bobbin thread always pulls to the surface with text. Put a new needle in, within a few stitches it had fallen out. Anyway, this will be the back of the flag  [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

@Elnnina i remember you mentioned that mini vac before so I bought one and I agree it’s great for the overlocker  :thumb:

I've managed to alter the doggie onesie pattern and cut out a new version, though I had to piece it. Not got much further than that.

I'm doing buttonholes on my Katherine Tilton top..It has a placket so you do the buttonholes on that before attaching the placket to the front of the top. Much easing than sewing the buttonholes onto the front of the garment. My first buttonhole is inexplicably larger than the others.   ::thinks:: Thread running a bit low.....

Love that stripey fabric @Acorn and @Silver Rose. Gosh that's cheap on Pound Fabrics. I fancy the green stripe - but would I look like a Celtic supporter in it?

I keep trying to post a photo but it's saying it's invalid.
I only have a mobile as my tablet has decided not to work.

Yes - that's it!  Mine was from Pound Fabrics I'm afraid!   :[  It is beautifully soft.  I was tempted to go back and get it in other colours too, but the pink and yellow are much the nicest.

If it is the same @Acorn  it will be lovely and soft for a nightie,  I got mine from  Croft Mill £9 per metre Jolly Jersey, although I did see it for a lot less on Pound Fabrics  :( after I had bought it of course!  After a short coffee break I cut out the pink one as well. Enough for today.

Here I am in the SR.
I have finally managed to patch the patches that I was struggling with yesterday.

The quilt currently measures 60 x 60. I need to make it 60 x 72. I have some sashing to go around and am thinking of extending the other 2 sides using HST's if I have enough fabric scraps.  The ones I'm thinking of using are 5 ins x WOF mostly.  I want to add a bit of zing so  ::thinks::

No sewing this afternoon.  I’ve been too busy seeing to washing and sorting early dinner.  I’m now cooking it.  I might have some time early evening when DH has gone out.
