im going to ask a silly question now but what do you put in the quilts? i would love to try making one. made my mum a cover for her hot water bottle yesterday from an old pyjama top also have the matching bottoms so i was thinking of making her a pj case to go with it.

Hi jemtom
I have made some basic patchwork quilts and have used 2oz and 4oz wadding I brought off ebay. You can buy it by the meter or pre-measured sizes.
The 2oz is very light and ideal for a sofa throw but still cosy to throw over your legs on a cold night my bed one is 4oz. I have picks on my homepage if you want to have a look

Not really sewing, but I've repurposed cotton from bedding and curtains for these projects





The first one is 6" and the second 3" so quite fiddly.

Those are fab.....


Are the back plain??

I woul love to be able to do those...

Hi everyone
Ive just called in to show you all my glasses case I have made this is a test run one as I wanted to make it with my newspaper fabric but wasn't sure if it would work but it's turned out ok



I used a cotton tea-towel for the outer fabric and part of an old sheet for the lining :Dl
I can never get the pic's right on here they turn out huge or this size

Thanks gingababe.

The blue one is like this on the other side



The other one is the same on both sides



They aren't really difficult, just fiddly and time consuming. Bet you could make one if you tried.

They are amazing! I would not have the patience for something like that.

I made a start on my bunting today I am so proud because they are actually triangles lol but now wondering if inside do I need to like stick the front and back together somehow or will ironing flatten them enough to look less full of air? I am not adding the bias yet because the one I had was too narrow so I ordered some thicker stuff.

I'm after an embroidered anchor to sew on a bag I'm making for my grandaughter. It needs to be about 4 - 6 inches high. Has anyone got any suggestions where I could get one one please? I'm in Surrey if that helps, or are there any online retailers that might have one please. I've looked on ebay but can't see anything - maybe I need to put a different phrase in the search.

TIA
