Evening all,

Just wanted to say a big thankyou to Danables for the gorgeous items you sent in the fabric swap. They arrived yesterday and when i get a minute i'll pop a pic and do a post on my blog. The fabrics are gorgeous and i will be making a skirt for my little girl with the fab flower fabric. I also had never thought of putting squeaks in sock monkeys what a fab idea so i'll be trying one out this week. Thanks hun it was a lovely treat when i opened it yesterday:D

Hope yours arrived safely x

I'm usually a lurker rather than a poster, however you talented people inspired me over the weekend so i made a multi coloured cushion for my daughters bedroom and white and red spotty peg bag.

Hello you lot, just popped over to say for those who admire the fabrics over at fabric rehab - they have just added some budget bundles to their shop. Each bundle is approx 1 FQ and is £2 each. P&P is £1.75 as far as i am aware

Just thought you might like to know

I placed a small order with these on saturday after following your link, I've just tried to go on for a closer look and the website isnt coming up. Anyone else having problems or is it just me? Also does anyone know how long delivery usually takes from here?

Thank you

i remember the crayon rolls being posted in the xmas thread i think a couple years back. i made one but no idea where it is now. i will have to see if i can find it. I also thought they be fantastic for knitting needles , felt tips, crochet hooks etc.

love the peg bag espesh with the zip. i so need to make a peg bag. at the mo i'm using a little hesian type bag that come as a promotional product for hubbys work it was to celebrate 25 years of something or other and filled with lots of natural products . and it seemed perfect at time but i do hate it,lol.

yesterday i made a par of short for my son. he had a gorgeous pair of jeans but he riped holes in both knees so i have now turned them into shorts. he was very happy. but he found the cut of bits of legs provided hours of play as well. lol.

Pootle - the flower fabric is from a teatowel - a pack of 3 from home bargains for £1.49. The pink dotty pegbag fabric is also one from one of the teatowels from the pack. The dress is made from a pillowcase.

Newbie lou i placed an order with fabricrehab last week and it came on saturday (can't remember what day i ordered it possibly tuesday).

The crayon rolls were really easy to make and my the flower one was for my friends little girl and my friend loved it. They do make nice pressies and very cheap to make.
