SNAP! took me most of yesterday - about an hour of it was trying to work out how to attach the top piece! in desperation i searched buttercup bag on you tube and somebody had done a video tutorial! thank god!

Now i know I hope the rest will come together easier! I managed to get a dress pattern for 50p today in a CS, does anybody know the best place for dress fabrics?

I cant wait for car boots to start up again so i can rummage around for things to alter and rip off buttons etc to start getting a stash!

Thanks

Me too C.S's are ok but they are getting a bit pricey lately
When I started sewing last yr I went to C.S's for sheets and duvet's to cut up, also brought some fabric off ebay when I started getting better
The 20 yards of fabric I brought from a C.S last week was only £15, I think a local curtain shop had a clear out so it's well worth popping into your local shop when you can. I have had a lot of small fabric bits and shower curtains, which make great washbag liners, in mine
Also try the curtain shops, they sometimes have remnants and sample books for next to nothing

Evening all,

I got round to making my own labels for when I make things last night - it was more of a trial run and I need to do some handmade with love ones - can't think of the wording I want though - any advice/ thoughts would be gratefully received..

Did you really have to post this link???:eek::rotfl: My basket is filling up fast here!

Thanks though there's lot's of good priced fabric here.

Just thinking the same! I could be so tempted. Can seeDGD in some little dresses out of these fabrics! But I promised myself that I would make a dent in my stash first!.

I made a teacosy today. Just a quick sew, as I hadnt sewn in a while, and BF wanted one for his new teapot.!
