Hello! me again.
I was just wondering what people use for terry cloth? is it wrong that I'm looking at the Tilda sheep and trying to decide which towel to cut up.
Thanks.

I have just ordered tickets for the Pins and Needles Craft Exhibition at the Metro Arena in Newcastle on the 25-27 Feb, I'm really looking forward to it.

I'v never been to these before what are the prices like are they more reasonable than normal or do they hike the prices up for these type of things?

id like to make some cushion covers for the children for chrostmas, but havent seen any i like in the shops, where is the best and most reasonable places to get the cushion from, does anyone know? i made some years ago for christmas, but he place i got them from has shut.

Kandipandi

Karren, the last cushions I bought were from Wilkinsons I think about 1.50 each, you can get better filled ones but these have been fine.

its the fronts i was thinking of, i did some years ago, that you had a panel and sewed embelishments on, and i made some stocking too, but have no idea where i can get them reasonably.

i wouldnt say the trade stands at these shows charge much lower than they would in their shops, but they are great for picking up newly released stock, or quirky items

some sellers do have special offers, but its usually a case of them throwing in some freebies, when you pay RRP for the main item

the demonstrations, shows and workshops are usually good, however, expect to come away, with a new hobby or two on your list of things to do

I bought some cream fluffy towels for the first two I made.

The last one I made using a lovely soft throw although it was a pain to see the stitches.
