Go to Forum Search tool at the top green line of the page, and then type in sewing room no chat thread, and it will lead you right to it. Thats what I did anyway. Then I used the subscribe to this thread tool so I get it up in my Quick links.
Hope that helps.
Hope the aprons worked, and that you can use the left overs to make a few other bits and bobs.
Small stuffed mice sell well, for cat toys.

Wow some lovely stuff on there, I wouldn't mind having a go at basic quilting, fab way of using all the odds and end fabrics, not that I have any at the moment, I'm using a pair of curtains mum gave me to practice sewing before I bought material, incase I couldn't do it.

Best explain a bit better, I have cerebral palsy that affects my right arm to movement is very ltd, But I surprised myself yesterday that I can do it

I will be keeping up with you all and trying not to get too sad that I can't sew anthing just yet

Pennib I love your little labels :T

Glad you're not feeling too bad after the op. I'm sure you'll be back to sewing before you know it. Keep smiling

A friend has asked me to sew 20m of bunting for her if she gets the fabric and asked how much I would charge.
I said £10 but it would be more if she wanted anything complex like appliqued letters, scolloped bunting etc
What do you think, does that sound ok? 20m is a lot of sewing!

Hi Bunny £10 sounds ok for a friend as Ive just had a look on ebay and cheapest on there is £14.99 +p&p
but they are polyester ones
Its hard to know what to charge a friend

Getting withdrawls already :rotfl:

I don't think 20m is too much sewing, it's the rest of the faff that comes with it. Cutting, pressing, folding, pinning etc.

hart44; Glad your op went OK. Bet you have loads of projects lined up for when your back to 2 hands!
Was reading about a Chinese man who lost both arms when little. When he was 12 he taught himself to paint with his mouth and feet!
His work is very sort after. It's amazing how people can adapt.

I have been and looked at all my fabric :rotfl: and the internet tutorials but had to stop as it made me sad
I have so far used my elbow and teeth to do some things :rotfl: but I have to keep my hand up for 48hrs so I have to behave
I will have to sort my bag pic out and post it here in a bit
