Wonder if that was from my nudge to this place? We sewing minded people need to mingle more!!:TWhen I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.0 -
Ive been hovering over here too from Sewing Room. Loved that last fabric supplier link. Their stuff looks really reasonably priced. This is a great thread too!:smileyhea0

Well I have managed to cut out, and mostly sew a handbag while DGD was asleep. Hopefully I will finish it tonight, if I am not too tired or sore!.
I nee to push myself to get to the sewing machine again. Its so easy to just put things off. But once I start, I am happy to sew until my neck problems remind me to stop!. (or DGD wakes up of course!).
After the handbag its the babies Bibs!! I have all the fabrics, as I am using a £1 mr A. bath towel, for the fabric backs, and the myriad bits of fabrics I have acquired over the years.
Then after reading the Sewing Room thread, then I think that a Peg Bag may be needed.
My Mum's peg bag is the old lampshade cover that was in my bedroom when I was 17/18years old. So now thats 30 years ago!! Fabrics lasted well!. But maybe I could do her a new one for Mothers Day, (I am under strict orders not to buy anything for the family while I am on a low income. But nobody said I couldnt make something out of what I have already got!.)
Seeing peoples posts spur me on to sew again. Non of my friends sew a stitch! So ther is nobody to be enthusiastic with. Except on here.When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.0 -
Hello! I'm new here
I've been inspired by this thread to start sewing as a hobby. I have my first lesson today. Wish me luck...
Does it take a long time before you can actually make something wearable (eg. a simple summer skirt?)0
