Ooh thanks for the code Sunshine! Which issue is the weddingy one? On the subscription page it asks which one you'd like to receive first so I might skip that one haha! Can't wait to see your skirt!

Not really sewing, just cutting

i've been clearing out. I found an old long sleeved t-shirt, i still quite liked it but probably wouldn't have wore it again, so.... i cut it up the front and cut the sleeves to be 3/4 and now I have a nice cardi/bolero type thing for the summer!

Ooh, I could do that. I'll have to hunt round for a suitable long-sleeved t-shirt first. I love these simple ideas.:T

Hi, its April edition - skip it!!! Ive just read through it and its not very good at all. At least half of of it is about weddings which I have no interest in whatsoever!! I would start from May if I were you. It will arrive mid April so not too long for you to wait!

Hi all,

Well, my skirt is finally finished after 5 sewing classes! (took bit longer as there are so many of us in the class). Its fully lined with a zip and a button (only just learned about putting in button holes.) Let me know what you think (be honest please!!) Am quite chuffed with it!

p.s Apologies for all the photos. I asked my boyfriend to take one and he turned into David Bailey!!!

:T It's really nice, well done you. I'm very impressed that it is fully lined as well. My attempts at skirts haven't been at all successful so far. Well, the skirts have been OK it's just that I don't fit them!!!

Thanks for offering to check out scanners for me. That's really kind of you.
