Managed 45 mins in the Sewing room this afters while waiting to collect Pepper from the groomer. Finished 3 more blocks for Improv. quilt, unpicked one from Monday that I did a bit wrong and started another of my own design.

I had exactly the same problem a few years ago with  my foot control. At Imi's for a 'play day' I borrowed hers and there were no problems so I knew that was the culprit.

I've been in my SR sorting out knitting stuff and pruning my knitting needle collection. It was lovely in there as the afternoon sun shines in the side window then progresses round to the end window. Being a small room it warms up nicely.

Wow, @DiverDan . What a very impressive start if you had never done sewing before. You obviously have a designer's brain and a knack for seeing how to make something practical.

Keep posting, it's lovely to see 'makes' that are a little different and so very useful  :thumb:

Perhaps, if I say it publicly, it has a chance of happening  :P 

I have 4 dining room chairs that need tlc. The wood needs attention and seat padding and covering replaced. I have had the fabric for over 2 years, I thnk!

Welcome @ipek .
It will be lovely to see some of your projects and wardrobe items when you have time to post pictures.

May I apologise for the delay in posting the voting thread.

There are 14 entries which is great  :dance: but it's taking longer than I thought to post them all. I intended to start assembling yesterday but a day out to Hereford put paid to that - I even dozed off during The Apprentice such was the strain on the credit card!

Of course @SewRuthieSews. It's only Leap Leap day and not really March  :D

I shall be assembling the voting thread today so thanks to all who entered.
Laters, dahlings...

Well, @grndkntrl , if you're new at this and don't have a stash, I would say that sourcing fabrics from a charity shop would be an acceptable alternative. Perhaps @SewRuthieSews would like to ponder this with me.

I'm in the sewing room - first time in ages - trying to decide on colours for my Improvised quilt day. Off to Doughty's tomorrow!

Signing out for now as I don't want to get distracted  :)
