    Are you copying the right link? Don't copy the url from the top try copying the one from the box of links underneath the picture? Also make sure when you paste the link you remove any http part that is already there

    Oooh, had a lovely day yesterday.

    Browsed round various places and acquired a "few" bits and bobs:

    DSCF0611.JPGDSCF0613.JPGDSCF0612.JPG

    The first piccie is most of my Dun£lm M!ll stash - all the fleeces have been reduced...will use them for loads of stuff. I now have a great range of colours..really need to use them! The spotty stuff is PVC, and the cream material was half price...so I got three metres...it will be great on it's own or lining bags/purses.

    The middle piccie has 3 tea towel from a local cheapy shop (£2)...will use for peg bags and pot-holders. The bottom right patterned material is a remnant from DE (£1.50), and on top of it is a duvet cover and pillow case from a CS - £1.99!!

    The last one is of uphostery remnants from a local furniture maker and upholsterer...got the lot for only £10.50! A couple are half metre lengths, but the others are at least 1 metre or more! They are a lovely weight, perfect for making bags/wallets!! My favourite is the top left one...that's going to be my bag!! I am definitely going back again (but nly after I have used some of the stuff I already have :D).

    Also in DE, met a someone who is organizing a BIG Xmas fair (could do it last year, was too ill to make enough stuff....so she has my details now! :)

    Off to get myself sorted now. I got some under-bed boxes to put more of my bits in..yesterday's haul has filled one box already - ignoring the fleeces, they will find a nook somewhere else :o

    Have a lovely crafty weekend everyone.

    I think I can do it now! At last! Here is a photo of a rabbit I made for my Grandson. Also some bits I made for a school fair.

    It's this machine. Just starting to read through the manual :o

    Oh, and MIL actually paid for it so free to me :)

    Wow, how jealous am I:D

    Keiss; what a lovely haul you have there. Will be going to Dunhelm soon (it's my once a year trip!)

    Florenceem; What a cute little bunny, bet your g'son loves it.

    Mooloo; I found it's easier to get a factory line going when I'm making more than one item. Glad that you're on track with your makes. Bet it gives you a warm glow that people want to buy your lovely items.:T

    The only time I use a big bag is when I go away on holiday. I'm sure some-one on here made or found a link to a bag organiser pattern. Can anyone remember and point me in the right direction?
