A new start for Mooloo

Savvy_sewing

I have just ordered some plain simple labels on ebay. They will no for now so that I can at least start. Then I will move on to others when I have the funds!. Ha ha.
If I dont get to the sewing machines and off of this computer I will not be getting very far at all!!

When my friend re used her birthday gift bag she cut out the "recyclable" symbol (sort of a black triangley thing) from a cupboard box for free was very cute and cool. Might work for your things.

The ideas are really starting to flow. Thanks everyone.
There is so much to think about, its a little overwhelming. I think I will be learning as I go along.
Need to be as MSE as possible as I have no funds to invest. Just my time, and my hobbies pile of fabric/clothes.
I am closing down for the evening now. My neck is ever so sore. Been on the computer since lunchtime, with only a break to cut out the cravats, and line my box file that I am making out of a soap powder box!! (Not for sale, for my personnal useage.)

Morning, I have been reading my emails, and of course several threads on here, that I am inspired by, (or is that addicted too?).
Twin 2 has been on the telephone for quite a while, in tears becuase her BF has blown the £300 that they got (back dated benefits) on Monday, and he has now taken money out of her account putting it back into overdraft (unofficial so charges of £35). She has also got back pains, and stomach pains, so I have told her to go to the doctors, and check that the baby is OK. I also told her that she needs to be strong. Along with a lot of other things too. I am worried for her, she is just not coping. He has my grandson alot, and goes upstairs to see the other twin, and she is isolated downstairs, as the twins are arguing all the time.
I do not think that its very healthy that he is upstairs with her sister so much. Even if it is inocently.
DS is still in Oxford, so I have the day ahead to myself. Although the last two hours have disappeared fast???
Plan to finish the cravats, and make some curtains out of two fleeces, to line the windows for the winter.
Then I have a pair of jeans with beads/embroidery butterflies on. I am thinking about turning them into another cushion, and possibly a handbag.
Dinner will be the left over turkey from yesterday, probably add a bit of curry powder to it to make it a bit different.
(Cannot waste it, just because DS is not around).
So that turns it into a busy day. (as soon as I get off of the computer and get dressed!!!!ooops).

Lunch break.
Am about 3/4 way through making the commisioned Cravats. Just stopped for a cup of tea, and a slice of cake.
Watched a bit of loose women, but time to turn the TV off and put the music back on.
Parcelled up the Disney cushion, its going to a new home. Just waiting for Biggest of Mooloo's to come and collect it to post for me (Not having a car on the road is a bit of a bind!).
Feeling positive, if a little sore.
When the cravats are done, (HOpefully within the next hour), then I want to do the fleeces, then unpick the jeans for the next creation!.

Have I floss, whats that then?
Having a problem with the pattern supplied, so taking a bit longer to make, but sorted it. Havent got the velcro in the correct colour. Only got white. So am going to have to sew hooks and eyes on instead. Will take a bit longer to do.
Ah well.

They are all 18 / 19 / 20, and either at or about to go to Uni, so an individual bag made from recycled clothing would be just the ticket for them.... hmmm, will have to have a think!

Ah, got you now.
Just make sure you can get a document folder or two in it!. So they can hand in assignments that are not wet, or folded etc!!!:D
