Hi all

A SFD today:). I should hopefully manage another one tomorrow.

No SFD for me I'm afraid. DD is at her daddies this week and as a surprise for when she comes back I've bought her a trampoline for the garden (I know every man and his dog has got 1 but DD has been begging me for years so thought it'd be an amazing treat for when she gets back)

SFD planned for today, looks like I might need to have a little spend tomorrow though, need to buy some more art supplies, have been putting it off, i'm like a kid in a candy store, but will make a list and stick to just what I need

Great British Sewing Bee tonight :T i'm addicted and cannot wait, I have a skirt pattern I would like to try, but very nervous as never made clothes before, i'm thinking I might try it out on an old duvet first, obviously won't wear it in public :rotfl:

Looking forward to sewing bee as well - I did use to make clothes - maybe its time to try again.

I was hoping that today would be a sfd as well - but then the dogs ran out of food! £15.79 later - they will be fed tonight after all!

Couple of sfds added, needed milk yday plus treat ttime bought a couple of scarves, jazz up existing clothes. No spending today but feel like a glass of wine so may be tempted on way home to get a bottle of wine, well Kats away ;-)

Lovely. If it's windy where you live can I offer a piece of advice?

Get something that will pin it down. Ours blew away on the day after we bought it. The net caught the wind. It knocked the top of our pillar and wrapped itself round the garden fence. It was slightly bent after that and never quite as good as it had been. OH got a piece of metal piping and bent it into a "U" shape, turned it upside down and hammered it into the ground over the base of the stand it sits on. It never blew away again. You might get something to buy now in the shops that pins it down.

She'll get great fun from it.

Oh me too! I found a blog where a guy build one pretty much from scratch. He bought an old trailer and built it up from there. Maybe one day I'll do that . . .

Trying out on another fabric is a great idea when you're starting. It took me a few pieces to get to the level that I was proud enough to wear something, but believe me it feels great when you do.

I don't want to be a party pooper, but a word of warning: a doctor friend said there's been a rise of impact fractures in children because of parents joining them on their trapolines. Basically if you're jumping alternately (child in the air when adult is on the trampoline) the rebound of the trampoline from the weight of the adult pressing down, plus the child falling down means that when child and the trampoline meet the force is equivalent to jumping from the second floor! Does that make sense? I don't want to scare anybody but I thought I should pass the information on.

SFD today, first of a roll from me . . .
