    PoppyToms, I think I was able to post pics when I got to 10 posts so you should be able to now. Prob best to use Photobucket to upload your pics with. You just need to copy the link and then dump it in your post. x

    Lovely little bag Poppy, glad you got the photos sorted.

    Lesley, I love the taggy and the sock monkey. How do you get your stuffing so even? I made some before but they came out a bit lumpy. I want to make some more for presents for this Christmas and would love to the them nice and even like you have xx

    Picked up the fabric from my sister's. Blimey, even I was surprised as to how much there was. I am going up to sort it out later so will take a photo to show you. The bags were not black sacks but more like people sized bags lol. We could only fit two in the boot whole, had to take the fabric out of another bag and stuff it in the spaces, then had the third bag on one of the seats in the back of the car next to my sister. OH struggled to lift them up stairs to my sewing room. I have had a quick peep and there are lots of pieces that I am hoping I can use to make myself some clothes like jackets and trousers.

    Love the bag PoppyToms!!

    Roofus, not sure really how I manage to get the stuffing smooth, I just mess about with it really, I don't just stuff and run!!:D I sort of roll it and smooth it!
  • Lots of nice makes on here, love seeing all the inspirational pictures. Will try and get some pictures up soon of what I've been making, made another cushion cover.
    Happy Easter!
  • There's some lovely things you have all made!

    Although I got my machine for christmas I haven't really had a chance to use it, it doesn't help that I haven't found any fabric I like! So i'm on a mission this evening to find something nice :)
