You have given me an idea though crickett - I wonder how many people would be interested in learning how to create their own master pattern and learn how manipulate the pattern to make perfectly fitted clothes?

ME ME ME! Waves hands wildly in the air!

I was bought a sewing machine for crimbo, and I am just about to have a go at making some cushion covers - but what I REALLY want to do it be able to make my own clothes!!

OOOOhhhh - I forgot about the chickens.

The run that we have for ours is about 3m by 2m but they get out to play around the garden in the evening in Spring/Summer when we are home.
I don't know what the official is for a chicken space though -

Expenses? - Chicken: Hut (although this can be cobbled together with bit & pieces): I use straw & wood chips nfor ther nest & bed: I use layer pellets to supplement scraps & garden stuff. These aren't strictly necessary but do contain all eeg laying nutrients.
Incidendals - water container, sometimes grit is required & sometimes mite powder (but we haven't needed these yet)

But the best thing is - they're lovely to have

Bitsy - try THIS and THIS

Sweetie you are a skinny little slip of a thing compared to "Ruby Venezuela" - the most rubenesque of Drag Queens ever. Mind you he was a lot shorter than you so it was heavy on the boning time otherwise he looked like a billiard ball :rotfl:

Not that I'm saying you look like a drag queen - but with some sequins, some glitter, 3 pairs of false eyelashes and a "suprise pink" follow-spot we can all give it a go We could all channel our "inner diva"

Although it pains me to admit it - this is one time when size really doesn't matter!!!! Your basic pattern fits - YOU, whether you are a 5ft tall size zero or a 6ft tall size 20. Same basic principles.

I need to chat with a techie bod about automatically drafting patterns - so this will take some research. Mrs Big has said that if you can get 100 peeps to say "that's a good idea, I'd buy that" then you are on to a good start.

Been clearing the garden today - three loads of ivy to the skip. So I'm off to share a bubble bath with DS2 before he gets too big to share his "Timmy-time" bath bubbles with me.

MG - I am most definitely on the rubenesque side of things... and I am also trying to lose weight and change shape (please, Universe, let me be lean and trim...!!!) so, having a method of making a basic plan for my shape would make life so much easier. This feels like it could be a winner... if it is possible electronically. Plus, i have a young friend who is interested in fashion and making clothes, and she would also love to learn how to do it.

Mrs_Hicks

This is something I would be interested in too

OK OK - I get the hint :rotfl:

Better get the dream team onto the case:

I'm thinking Mrf for technical support in fnding someone to create patterns.

I'm thinking Souk to write a style guide for a capsule wardrbe for each shape.

I'm thinking Firewalker for all around "calling me out when I'm being wimpy!!!"

Claire for designing jewellery to accersorise our outfits.

See everything we need is right here :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

PS Highly recommend Timmy Time bubbles - :T

Marru

I've got a collegue who has studied fashion design, shall I talk to her and introduce her on the other side?
