Today's sewing - present.
I made some covered hangers - used a pack of 6 bought from £land - a while ago. The IKEA fabric was left over from making storage bags.

Love the hangers Florenceem!

I am going to get some more padded hangers made ready as presents.
Need to make a Golden Wedding Anniversary card tomorrow.

Thank you! Yes, that helps a lot. It sounds great especially as most of the "cheap" (poor quality) fabrics around here start at £5+ per metre. I will be having a trip to Leicester soon

Is the market on every day and is the fabric stall there on every market day too? Oh dear, it's next to my bank; means I can just pop round if I spend more than I plan to :rotfl:

Yes, Leicester Market is there everyday.


There is at least one stall open every day "Stuarts Fabrics" .... he's not as competitive in price, but still cheaper than John Lewis etc.


The really good value chap is there a couple of days in the week, but I couldn't tell you which, sorry. Because I can only get up to town on a Saturday..... good job really, as I would probably spend a fortune

Great idea - love the fact materials are from stash. Are you like me - drowning in it?

Never been to Leicester Market. Did visit Walthamstow market - amazing selection of cheap fabrics and trims.

Yes, that's why I joined -because I have loads of 'stuff' and I need to use it before I buy more-I'm. Bit of a magpie when it comes to fabrics and craft magazines and stuff.
