Munchki and Mambury, I love you both. I'm going to go and buy it, hee hee!

I'm thinking of themes for notebooks...do you think safari themes would work? My best friend loves them so I'm making her a notebook set, but I'm not sure whether it'd be worth making extra?

I have friends that are elephant and monkey mad! and you cant find either of those

ok been thinking about this for a long time, I used to do this in the states and have done a few of them here with rather positive results.

I make something called a quillow, a blanket that turns into a pillow vice versa......nothing really grand however.................

I customise each of them and have done them for brides and grooms, using bits from wedding dress (excess fabric of course) and for babies and children, some are personalised with the childs picture or names done in buttons or ribbon, some have a small xstitched part on them, anyway they are completely custom. Have also done loads of generic ones..........just wondering what you all think of the idea as I am seriously thinking about it again after I find work of course.

Thank you

Market them (the generic ones) as posh cushions, and a snuggle quilt inside to snuggle up on the sofa under....

I made one for my ex MIL and she loved it so much had to make her a second one!

I used to love to sew, but now dont have the money to do so, so must get a job. I sold stacks of them in the states. In fact my ex boss had twins a boy and girl so I found some kiddie football fabric in pink and blue and made one each for them and put the names on them. his wife said they were always in the pram or in the car!
