    My email from sewing links offer this at $29.99 (think thats cheaper isnt it?) if you want me to forward my email to you let me know. See if you can use the link to get the lower cost perhaps.

    Thanks, the toe is just niggling me most of the time, although I am so aware when DGD is about, she managed to tread on it about a dozen times yesterday afternoon.
    Today I am sewing so its not affecting me.
    I am struggling with following a pattern from my Sew Mag.
    And I have been sewing for over 40 years.!!! I am reading, re-reading and trying so hard to understand the bits they are telling me, and its not computing. So now I have to unpick the back of the bodice, and the side of the bodice, so that I can fit in my head!! and the side zip.
    Right lunch is nearly over. Far too many pickled onions cos they need eating up!!

    Once again the bags are wonderful. Love the lining.
    My fabric from TerrysFabrics arrived today. Still no sign of my Cath K stuff since 23rd June.Dispite them saying it would be here in 48hour delivery. They offered me 15% discount on anything else I order, but I pointed out that while things were outstanding I was not actually likely to be making anymore orders until I had at least received the last one!
    I also had my samples from Prestigious Textiles, and they are both good sizes. Although I cannot remember who the company it was that I ordered the fabric from I think it was Bells? Oh well the fabric is big enough to make two Purses or wallets out of each sample!!! Freebies I like.
    When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.

    Mooloo - hope you've sorted out the pattern now. I had trouble with the last one I did and ended up putting the lining in the wrong way around and having to take it out again. Got there in the end.

    Hart - your bag is lovely. The fabric's great - what make is it?

    No stitching for me but lots of plans but not enough time.

    I'm on their site now. How many samples can you order and can you order more than once?

    Evening everyone.

    Been sorting out my craft room today, been given a nice ottoman which needs a bit of loving care and repair. Have been filling it up all day with some of my sewing stuff to keep it all out of the way, made the room look tidier too.

    Made a little summer top for youngest daughter this afternoon too from the left overs of the shirt fabric. Just need to hand stitch the binding on the neck this evening.

    I have updated my blog again as I took some pics of the new quilt which went on my Folksy shop today

    Forgot to add, well done Mooloo xx

    And well done all of you with the blinds. This is something I might give a go to one of these days as out bathroom could do with some.
    Love the flowery top you made.
