Hi Girls:hello:

I haven't posted on here for months now so I don't expect anyone will know who I am! I was very busy for a while so stayed away for a bit.

I am sewing again properly now so thought I would drop in and say hello:)

You Guys have all been busy with some lovely makes :T I am busy catching up on the thread (loads of pages to go).

I have updated my poor neglected blog with my latest make if anyone fancies a look, hope to be posting more of my recent projects there soon too.

Good to have you back fruit-loop. Its been ages!! :T:T:T

Congratulations on your engagement Pootleflump! Are you going to make your own wedding dress?

Talking about weddings, I've just watched Big Fat Gypsy Weddings with my jaw on the floor.

HI All,

Came across this tutorial this morning whilst doing my daily blog hop. Its for a reversible fabric gift box and seems to look quite nice when finished.

Awww thanks so much. No I can definately confirm I am not going to make my own dress!! I do wish that I was skilled enough to do it but a skirt was traumatic enough for me and now Im sticking to non wearable items!! x

It just goes to show that all the money in the world can't buy taste. Jordan wouldn't have looked out of place on that programme.

Hi everybody, I am back too after a longish absence since Christmas. I have just been catching up with the thread and have just read about five pages:D

It was funny that Kindle covers came up a few pages back. I also got one for Christmas and didn't have a case for it, so made one:j I like it so much I have made four more:D

As they are not the standard type of pattern, but PES files for an embroidery machine the standard of the sewing is fantastic. I can't believe how good they came out, I was so pleased once I sussed out how to understand the pattern! Even my 9 year old daughter said to me 'they look like they came from a shop!!' praise indeed lol. I can't post the pics of them here because I'm on a different laptop and need to get my details for flickr up to date as I've foirgotten them, which means I can't post my makes on here at the moment.

I have also been making lots of those wiggly bags I saw mentioned on here. I want to post the pics of them on my blog asap to raise the awareness even more. Isn't it funny how the internet is like a chain reaction for something like this, it just goes on and on reaching more and more people.

I have just updated my blog with the kindle cases and have sold three already:j well chuffed. Hope I get some more orders for them, now I have making them down to a fine art they are really enjoyable to make.

I'm still making sock monkeys too.....got another three union jack ones in progress at the moment...busy, busy:rotfl:

I'm loving everyones makes, am going to keep up with the thread better again now Christmas has gone and things are back to normal.

Maggielo ~ Is this an "in the hoop" embroidery machine pattern made all on the embroidery machine? If it is could you link to the pattern please as I wouldn't mind making a couple of these for friends, as yours came out so lovely.:)
