@Bodgeitandscarper unfortunately I didn't give the sizing any thought when I bought it as a newbie.

Completely forgot I had this book, what does that tell you  -<

And their fabrics used to turn up in old feed sacks!

I've had a couple of deliveries from them in these, I just chuckled  :loveit:

@Lollipop it's sometimes worth looking in Boyes in Brigg too, they have quite a bit of habby, basic fabrics but quite a lot of curtaining stuff. They're cheap, especially calico and polycottons, cheaper than Jaylaurs, although I love Jaylaurs, I don't see the point in spending more for t'same stuff  ;)

Just as well it's many many miles away  :P

Although that never stops me I shop online as there's nowt near me anyway  :S

@wrenkins I'm impatient and a bit tick so I just don't like fiddly stuff, buttonholes are another tear-jerker.

Try both methods and see which you prefer  ;)

I agree with @Missie that it's easier to sort out your sleeve fit when it does resemble a sleeve and you can slip it on your arm.

For the record I hate fitting sleeves, they're never straightforward  :'(

Brilliant programme. Lots of fascinating insights into a time gone by and I felt very moved when the older chap narrated  his poem about the old clock being dismantled. It’s a real shame they didn’t slap a preservation order on it.

I gasped when I saw how it was knocked down, I expected to see that it had been placed somewhere else, what a shocker. I'm sure the people of the town would have loved to have seen it in the town centre  :(

I've just watched this documentary and found it very moving, very sad how the factory came to be shut down. I had no idea of the enormity of influence Singer had and the sales around the world  :loveit: I'm particularly impressed that the reconditioned vintage machines end up in Africa helping women set up their own wee business and are able to use their creativity productively.

I also loved the parts where they showed footage of the gala days the factory held, it reminded me of the gala's that our steelworks held when I was a kid in the 70s  :)
