I have had a go recently actually but I am afraid I cant give any info on it as I had my hand firmly held by my neighbour - she is 82 and is amazing - she can do anything craft wise - we have a craft evening every Monday in our conservatory - there are 5 of us - I am the youngest - 44 , 52 , 70, 82 and another lady who is I think in her 80's. I cannot sew for toffee - I could cross stitch but dont mention french knots to me I come out in panic attacks - lol - but now I have done a few french knots thanks to Vera and I have done a little silk oval with flowers inside - but she provided the bits and bobs for it and literally kept showing me what to do each step and helped me when I went wrong - I think sewing is scared of me let alone the other way around - lol - am still trying to sort my machine out so I can do my bunting anyway I will nip off and see if I can photo my oval - but I just wanted to see it was very rewarding! Hope you find somewhere for your supplies.

Ooh mine's very different. Off to bed now but will take a look tomorrow. The ladies on the sewing room thread (in special occasions) are fab though and might be best to ask.
