Hi All, Im only chatting as its the first post (so Im allowed!).

We, over at the sewing room, thought it would be a good idea to put links for tutorials and sewing tips etc on a separate thread so they are easier to find rather than trawling through 400 pages of our girlie sewing chat too!! Good idea Nykied!

I reckon if we all just put a heading in our post then the link underneath we will be able to see easily what the link/tutorial is for and at some point we can try and organise it all into section headings (if required)

Happy sewing peeps!! :j :j :j
