Yoo hoo, ladies, well I have made a tiny bit of progress I have ordered some interfacing, bondaweb, wadding and a small goody bag of fabric (only a couple of pound of ebay - so it will only be small) - so then I'll hopefully have thing there for when I know what I am doing!!!

I've been lurking around here for a while and stolen a few lovely patterns
Love the tote bag, that is going on my list of things to attempt!
I've just brought lots of fabrics squares off ebay, can anyone link me up to an easy guide to making a patchwork quilt or perhaps recommend any other projects which I can do with them?

Thanks

That bag looks fabulous

Day 2 of my sewing adventures. I am very proud of myself because I set up my machine all by myself which I could never do in highschool! And I think I am getting the hang of it made a little rectangle pillow yesterday for practice. Today I attempted to make up a bag pattern and it turned out okay so I am proud of it. The stiches are a bit messy in places because I was making it up as I went along and kept getting confused but it works at least

Thank you I am so excited now and want to make lots of things I am going to make a crayon roll at some point and I want to make a lined bag. I want to make some stuffed animals for practice but need to find some patterns for them not brave enough to draw my own of them!

Here you go. This one is for a rabbit (there is a link to download the pattern). If you click on project sheets there are teddy bears and other things as well. Where it says polypellets just use stuffing if you prefer. You can also pretty much use whatever fabric you like. I need to redraw my owl pattern but once I do if you want a copy of it just let me know. Its really easy cause its titchy!

p.s You can ignore the bit about the glue gun as well. If you get a thick gauge wire for whiskers it will just pull straight through the fabric and stay in place fine.
