    I have had my machine about 6 years Kandi i don't remember it coming with anything and i can't find anything in my cupboard. Anyway i went and bought one from the sewing shop yesterday it only cost me £3.95 so no excuse now:D

    I also made a simple skirt for my little girl last night. There are pics on my blog IMGP5191.JPG

    But thought i'd upload them here to

    Quite please with myself as its the first skirt i have made and i just made it up as i went along really. A Couple of minor faults but that is mainly because i don't even measure my strips just guessed at lengths.

    Oh Dizzy the skirt is beautiful :T
    My DGD would love something like that as it's twirly :D
    Getting myself sorted 1 day/1thing at a time :) and Love sewing :)

    Well done on the zip - it looks really neat! I find with most sewing things - they seem really daunting but if you just get on and do it they're fine!

    No it wasn't as bad as i thought and the zipper foot is easy to use i thought i would have to faff about with it. Now i'm probably going to go zip mad with everything lol:D

    I went into Wilko's today and brought these t-towels for £1.99 for 3 and some wrapping paper for 79p.
    Im going to cover some plain magazine holders with the wrapping paper and not sure what the towels will be yet but they just look so pretty :D
