ta da....
finished it - golly I was terrified I was gonna muck it up - I was sweating at one point scared to do the next bit but when I was stuck I clicked on the pictures in the tutorial which supersized them and then it made sense - I am sure the words on the own to most people would have done but I just got myself in a muck sweat about it and looking at the fab pictures in the tutorial calmed me - I have still got to stuff it properly yet - its got two bags of pasta in at the mo so they will have to come out - what is best - some folk say cat litter - I dont know the first thing about that as I have a strong aversion to cats!0 -
Great doorstop deammi, I wish I could sew like you. I keep meaning to practice at the weekends but always run out if time. How about the balls they fill beanbags with, not sure where you would get them though or how cheap (expensive) they would be.
Crikey Bibbitybob, sounds like you have been through the mill a bit lately. At least you can rest knowing that you have had all 3 pieces of bad luck, must be your turn for 3 pieces of good luck now.0 -

Filled mine with cat litter - cheap, and doesn't attract mice or flies.Jack of all trades ... Master of none
