Hmm, I'm just wondering what is "far from perfect" about them. They look fab and an excellent idea for christmas gifts.

Tech Know How / Re: Adding photos into the text?
« on: October 08, 2020, 07:49:15 AM »Thanks for that @Acorn i tried finding that info a while ago but couldn’t. Obviously not looking in the right place!
I send photos to myself in yahoo mail and resize them that way.
It is such a faff to do it that way though and I try to avoid using my email via my phone. I've not posted things because of that and was wondering if there was a quick an easy way. Until I find one that I can just upload straight from my phone, I guess I shall just refrain from posting pics.

How can I make it smaller when uploading directly from my phone? (technonumpty alert!)

In the wardrobe / Re: Wrap dresses/tops?
« on: October 02, 2020, 10:19:34 AM »l love Emily Hallam's style and she does fabulous wrap dresses.
She started a sew along for a wrap dress a couple of years ago, for which I got the pattern. I didn't end do the sewalong in the end and I keep looking at it think I might do it but then keep stalling. Maybe being in a woven fabric (my plan was to do it in a light weight denim) might be a better look than a jersey option.

If you don't have your ironing board up permanently in the kitchen where do you keep most of your stash?
@wrenkins Err......on any other surface I can find

Me too and bizarrely, it makes my girls look totally lop-sided, which they aren't. I guess it is just the way the lines of the dress cross my boobs but it looks so weird I don't wear them
