Hello

Been ages since I came on this thread as my sewing machine has been hidden under a pile of stuff! I am now ready to get going again and I would like ot make a peg bag but I can't find an easy to follow pattern, can anyone help?

Can anyone help, I have a Janome Harmony 4035 sewing machine and have lost the instruction book. All I need is the tension pages as I cannot remember the settings. I am using my Mums old Singer machine ex treadle and it sews very well but am lost without my own

Its great to see all the projects on here, Miss Pixie your quilt is pretty and looks very good :T

Miss Pixie your quilt is very nice. And it looks straight enough to me.

Hello all!

I'm a newbie hoping to get some inspiration, advice and help from you lovely ladies. I've had a quick look through the thread and I'm so impressed with your projects already! I have an ancient singer given to me by my Grandma about 10 years ago - I thought it was about time that I learnt to use it! I have 2 girls, 6 and 3, and agree with the comments about girls' clothes in the shops being inappropriate. This is what has prompted me to learn to sew. My mum was ecstatic and bought me a couple of patterns and some material to make some Summer skirts. I have altered/customised a few things for dressing up costumes before but never made anything from scratch... eeek! *suscribes to the thread*

Good morning everyone and welcome purpleheather
I use this simple skirt pattern for my DGD if you want to try it for your girls http://houseonhillroad.typepad.com/photos/twirly_skirt/

Welcome back Rummer http://tipnut.com/11-free-clothespin-bag-patterns/ there are some great peg bags here

MissPixie your 1st quilt is beautiful, well done :T

I managed to sew a cushion yesterday after cleaning my sewing area and I managed to finish one bag I started on and half way through the second
