ohhhh she is gorgeous! - so clever of you - she is stunning!


Just popped on to say last night I popped into Dunhelm and got a Prym Rotary Cutter with a standard blade, rotary blade and a wave blade - 45mm and guide arm for £15.95 and a Omnigrid 6 by 24 for £16.45

Is that a good deal.... are they good makes - haven't taken the wrapping off yet and have kept receipt - I really want to get a good set but dont know much - If anyone knows of better set online - can you tell me
What do you think?

rightyo off to the pet shop to get some cat litter - with my aversion to cats it feels quite weird - lol - but apparently we can use any leftover for Jess our lionhead rabbit - its better for them than hay apparently - we though Jess was Jessica for the last 18 months as thats what the vet had said but she went to stay with Steve our friend who has a pet shop - whilst we went on holiday - he placed two girl rabbits in the run next to jess and jess went crazy running up and down spraying everywhere and steve had a closer look - Jessica is definitely a Jess - wonder if she I mean he has a complex from wearing a pink glitter collar for the last year and a half!!!!

Wow cuddles, fantastic makes. Your Needle case is the same fabric (teatowels) as I have been using. Although my make never came out to well.

I re did my bag I am really chuffed with my first make


but as you can see it went wrong again as when you open it up you cant get your hand in lol
Well will unpick and hand sew it up properlly another time.
At least it looks good even if it's not functional lol
Did take up my daughters trousers today, So am really getting into sewing at last.

Hi everyone see Ive not left you :rotfl: Ive been busy painting my kitchen cupboards and wish I had not started, it is turning out to be a bigger job than I thought (it will be nice when it's done).
I just had to say Im loving all the makes on here, well done :T
Im not sure when I can get back into sewing as my mum is visiting next week and I need the kitchen done (not a lot of time as I work evenings).

In the States black and white cats (real ones) are called ´tuxedo´cats

I got a call today about my machine. They confirm it is broken but they don't have the spare part in so they will either send me a new machine or I can upgrade (obviously at extra cost) if I prefer. Since getting the machine I have used it loads and would like to go on to sewing curtains and also trying quilting embriodery. Is anyone knowledgable enough to have a look and see what machine might be best for my needs? Here is the link to their site. I don't have a fixed budget in mind but I think mine was about £90 so I could add to that about another £150 or so. I've looked but my concentration levels make it difficult for me to read much at the moment.
