Girlies I am in search of some Michael Jackson (the singer/artist) fabric. Does anyone know of any that may exist be it picture prints or song title text.
many thanks

If you cannot find fabric could you try using a photo and printing it on the fabric that goes through the computer? I cannot rremember its name but I used it successfully for Molly's dog picture earlier in the year.

Happy Birthday Mooloo!

Thankyou. Thankyou everyone.:T
I had the most fantastic time at Ragdale, it was a pamper and a half. Fantastic place. I loved every minute of it, and Molly and I had a good relaxing time.
I shall be making myself a "ragdale account" to save for a return visit in the future.

I have bought from here before, they often have nice baby theme packs. Good service although the packs are yards not metres. It is also worth checking every now & then as they change quite often. I quite like the beep beep robot for a boy & the Timber (halves) for a girl! but I prefer bright colours for babies rather than stereotypical pastel pink & blue!

I posted on the no chat thread and thought I would post here as well, I came across this ten part video on how to use a sewing machine, http://esewingworkshop.com/video-lesson/intro for those who have been thinking of getting one but unsure how to use one.

Hi all, I am looking at starting making bits and bobs for me and my family, as well as the house. Can anyone recommend a really easy pattern or project for an absolute beginner? I haven't made anything for about 13 years (since I was at school)

My Grandson is nine years old today. I had some 'Boy' fabric given to me by a friend who bought it in the US. I made him a wallet using a tutorial I found on this forum - thank you. What do you use to close these wallets that you make.....I thought about velcro but wasn't sure that I had some black. I also made him a Birthday card.

I dunno how I missed this post ... love the wallets
