:jI would love that please.
My blog hasn't been running long and i only have a few followers, feel like i'm talking to myself on there heehee. What a very kind thought, thank you x

I am already following you :T I have been blogging for nearly 2 yrs and still only have under 50 followers, but I like it that way as I don't blog very frequently. If I had more followers I would feel the need to blog more frequently. My blog is just a little record of my makes, I keep it for me, so if anyone else is interested in what I do, then that is a bonus. I don't have any RL friends that are into crafting so it is nice to have "someone" to share my makes with.

I know that many of the bloggers I follow are "professionals" and sewing/blogging is their "day job" but I still don't know how they can knock out at least one quilt/dress/garment a week and raise a family, fit in housework etc:rotfl: (big behind-the-scenes entourage I guess)

Kiess; Well done on your first sale. Bet you floated home! I don't know if I'd like a £7000 machine (well I wouldn't refuse one if you gave it me:p) I like to be with my craft while I'm working it not in another room while it does it's thing, if ya know what I mean.

Tamster; Thanks for the offer of an award. I don't accept them myself as I don't have time.

Poppytom; Looking forward to seeing your next creation.

I ordered my DD a Prom dress online, China! It's come today, she hasn't seen it yet, I'm sure she'll like it but I have a few concerns about the finishing touches! The sequins are scattered on the skirt and have been sewn on with a continuous thread, so the thread can be seen under the net between each sequin! I'm going to have to either sew each one individually or, don't shout at me, glue?!!
Any help or tips appreciated, like I said I'm sure she'll like the dress and I won't mention my thoughts (don't want to put her off), the Prom is 4 weeks away so I have time to sort it. Big TIA xx

I ordered my DD a prom dress from China too - did you get yours from Tidebuy? I've got the same problem with sequins and beads falling off. I'm just going to get a needle and thread and sew them back on again.

No from Promdressonline and she doesn't like it!!! Emailed them saying how it's not well made and see if I can return for a refund. Glad yours is ok.

Oh what a shame From what i can gather 'thee' Prom dress is Very important so it must be most disappointing to receive something badly made and not up to scratch. I hope you find something soon.

My daughter spent ages choosing just the right dress. Apart from the beading, which is fixable, it's fine. You do need to allow at least a month for it to arrive from most of those on-line companies I think though.
