p.s Really liking all the makes people have posted since Ive been AWOL. Sorry I havent replied to each one. Things are ever so slightly manic at this end. Hope you are all well. x

Several people have sent me alink to this, and even the Sew magazine did. But I think that I will probably have the things that are in it already as I have her Sew and Making Magazines.
I would like her Patches one that has just come out, but its £16 so I will just have to hang on a bit longer.
I did think of going and buying the paper, then as I dont usually buy any newspapers thought that it was a bit of an effort for a few ideas. Trying to be MSE you see.

Hi all!

The CK books are a bit cheaper at Amazon, Mooloo. I'm a bit unsure as to whether to get them or not though.

I made a tissue box cover yesterday. We get through so many (OH gets rhinitis a LOT!!) and so we buy the value boxes of tissues but they tend not to look very pretty - but now they do!! 'Scuse the dark pictures - it's raining outside and I need a new camera! I found a very pretty stitch on my machine which I used to top stitch the edges too. All in all a happy bunny





I have resized the pictures in photobucket, but it seems to take a while to take effect!

That's lovely pollyskettle, the stitching really sets it off. I love both your aprons too.

Oh dear Nuttywoman, I hope mine is, OH is bringing it in with him in a bit. I got a bit more sewing done today, spent most of the morning up there making bag linings. I am waiting on some bits from Ebay to finish off the bags so come to a halt on them for now. I need to make a strong bag for YD so going to have a think on how to design it. I have run out of the blackout lining that I use to make my bags stronger. I think I might have a bit of Vinyl left, that might work if I put it inside between the bag and lining. I will have to have a look tomorrow and see what I have left.

Hi guys. I got the cath kidson supplement today. What does everyone else think. I wasnt that impressed. Not sure whether to get tomorrows.
I have spent the last couple of hours cutting out and I have not got enough material as usual does anyone else always uave this problem. I never have any idea how much to buy and I try to work it out but it never seems to be right. Im making xmas stockings which I think makes it harder as they are a funny shape.

Also pollyskettle. How did you make your tissue box cover. It looks great
