Now, to business. I've been trying to take up some trousers--tapered legs + alterations = --of mine & other family, so the only thing I've been spending is Time :cheesy: That said, I am happy to declare an accumilation of 6 nsds up to & including today.

Tapered leg trousers are a bit tricker to take up than other trousers. You're best to cut them to the length you want first - plus the hem allowance, of course. Then unpick the seams up to where your new hem is going to be and restitch the seams tapering them out slightly. You should be able to turn the new hem up then without the new hem allowance pulling in the bottom of the leg.

You really need this kind of shape for the seam to make it sit properly.

Hope this helps

PS: Well done for the NSDs :T

Sorry everyone, I seem to be in chatty mode tonight:o:o

Well, having given my NSDs a severe talking-to over the weekend, they seem to be behaving so NSD no 4 has been firmly grabbed now

Well done everyone for all the NSDs nabbed today, we're all doing brilliantly:T:T

Very well done paying off the card Fed-up, another reason to get some ready pressed fruit in methinks..:T:T:T:T

NSD 6/20 almost blew it as hearing aid batteries went flat and didn't have spares with me :mad: but fortunately OH had given me an emergency tenner to keep in purse, so I broke into that and as its not my money ---it was still a NSD - phew.

The rest of the day was completely rubbish but at least something was achieved:)

Good Morning

Kerri and MissE, you both get a big gold star for knowing what football match I was on about. I didn't think anyone would have noticed my little team :A It was a brilliant day and I spent all day yesterday sleeping recovering from it You know you are getting old when you have a day out (with alcohol) and spend the whole of the next day recovering
Still, it brought me NSD #8 so I am not complaining :j:j

The front page is all up to date. Have a great Tuesday :T

If you have one going spare, that would be great! Going by your updates again I don't think you need it as much as I do!!!

You have potential for development... that's the way to look at it:D

I like it

Ooops....

and oops again......

Me and OH are both very much cafe people so I tend not to feel guilty about our weekly cappucinos! Used to be twice at the weekends but we've cut it down to once!

Yes, of course, tomorrow it is:D

Fingers and toes crossed.... you can do it :T

I'm on a mission today!!!

I should think you are happy, you've got some good bargains there:T

Agreed! And also means I'm stocked up with toiletries for a good while longer
