    yep they fit fine :) well chuffed,

    Brilliant. (also means I can reduce mine a bit more! )
    I am tired tonight, so I am going to give up searching the net, doing business plans and or sewing.
    Glass of wine, TV and an early night me things.
    Night all, happy sewing.
    When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.

    Clairewop :D love the aprons and the Winnie Pooh fabric is great :D

    Mooloo :DI will start the bags off at a reasonable price as I have used Cath Kidston fabric for one of them (I got it cheap but it's still CK) but it will be interesting to see if they sell :o
    Will keep you informed :D

    I am still buying fabric :o even though I can't sew :(
    Getting myself sorted 1 day/1thing at a time :) and Love sewing :)

    Thank you so much for all your advice on here. I've found the Singer for £88.75 with a free thread pack which looks quite good. I'm not worrying about threading the needle as I'm short sighted so close up work is my forte. However I've got a snipe on that Brother ebay one so I will see if I win that first.

    glad you are sorted have fun when it arrives

    Thankyou I have manage to cut out 6 Aprons all different sizes out of the Winnie the pooh Fabric,was chuffed it was reduced from £7.99 to £3.99.

    I didn't know fabric was much cheaper in America! I am going to America this year ;) I may have to talk my oh into finding a fabric store near where we are going so I can just have a little look :P

    I have a favourite usa ebay seller that sells micheal miller fabrics and other goregous fabrics for half price! it works out so much cheaper if you buy 8 metres as she sends 1 to 8 metres at flat rate shipping of £8!!

    Cliarewop love the aprons!
