In the wardrobe / Re: Any sales on indie patterns for Black Friday?
« on: November 22, 2017, 21:14:56 PM »
I havent seen anything but I am struggling not to buy 2 pairs of very expensive shoes that are in the Black Friday deals. 
Because I have size 9 AA width feet I find it very hard to find shoes that don't behave like boats on my feet.  Size 9's never come in narrow fit, they are all mainly E width and above so I have to mainly buy from a Specialist UK company that import the narrow fits from the US

My mechanic told me they should be serviced once a year wether they've been used or not, he charges me about £40 unless they need new parts.

Sewing Machines / Re: Sewing Machine Bulb
« on: November 11, 2017, 18:34:09 PM »
When the light went on one of my machines I struggled to get a replacement as quickly as I wanted it and there are no sewing machine shops near enough to me that I'm aware of so to prevent me having to travel miles I used a fridge bulb.  It works and has carried on working, it may be me but I think the light is a bit brighter than the machine bulbs.

It's gorgeous, if you really really want orange would an orange scarf go with it?  It looks turquoise on my screen but if it is green, orange would probably look good with it.

Sometimes you'll get better deals with retailers if you haggle than you will with wholesalers.

House Beautiful / Re: Options for window dressing
« on: October 31, 2017, 22:25:06 PM »
My bedroom wall is like that, I didn't make a pair of curtains I just made 1 wide curtain, because the wall is wallpapered in similar colours it doesn't look stupid when it's pulled back.
