Hi thanks for the reply, yes i did make it. It costs quite alot to make though so thinking it wouldn't really be viable to make. I'de have to sell it for around £30 to make it worth my time and i just don't think people would spend that much.

It may be worth you listing on www.misi.co.uk or www.folksy.com
Its cheaper to list and sell. And your listings stay up for a lot longer.

Like minded people, not just looking for the cheapest bargain shop on these sites.

Wow, wish I could make something like that. Looks fab! You could always wait until free listings day and put it on at £30 or so and if it doesnt sell you havent paid anything to list it. Good luck with it!

Hi Almond,

Yes I am, out of a misguided loyalty LOL! I'm still seething over the O2 prices, but am going once. I've just bought Lady Gaga tickets:eek:, so definately won't be going to Jovi again this year!

(Sorry for the off topic... Sewing people)

Hi all,

Dont think this link has been on here before but if it has then apologies.

Loads of free patterns and most of them come in pdf format too which is great.

...and for anyone like me who feels guilty about buying even more fabric...

This is the sock monkey I made yesterday. My 4 kids were 'fighting' over him even the 15yr old

Well I don't blame them - if I'd been at your house I would have fought over him too, and I'm 46 :rotfl:

Thank you Sunshine & Justamum.

Trouble is now I have to make 3 more for my other children ( little man is tucked up in bed with this one) and already have requests from friends for two more.

I am always reluctant to give things I make to other people except cards. I think they may break or come apart.
