Does anyone else make their own clothes

ooh now there is no excuse for me not to start to sew things now!. I have put things off for such a long time really.! Realise I cannot do what I used to do. But these look simple enough for me. Thanks.

If you look on organisedchristmas.com then while you are waiting for the Christmas prepartions to gear up she has a pattern for one of those cooling neckties to wear in the hot weather. It seems to be a tube made from a triangle of fabric filled with those waterabsorbing granules you get for putting in hanging basket compost. Just one seam and very simple. I imagine you could also make them as microwavable wheatbags for cold weather. Would make good stocking fillers in due course.

And, no, I am not getting ready for Christmas yet (June is too early even for me!!) but I was going through my links and tidying them up - well that's my excuse

cant find the neck tie things?

I'm fed up of not being able to find nice bras in my size so I'm going to have a go at making my own. I've purchased a pattern and have ordered a few bits that I will need, as soon as they arrive I'm going to give it a try.

It looks quite easy, but it will be the first time I've followed a pattern in ages.

I have made all the soft furnishing covers in my house (curtains, blinds, cushions, fitted sofa covers), and then a couple of months ago i made my own wedding dress! I only use the sewing machine for long straight bits as i am not good at fidly stuff on it and prefer to hand stitch (to be fair, my sewing machine is older than i am!).

When i have children, I want them all born in winter so i can knit them everything lol!

I cannot remember who it was that lived in the Northampton area and wanted sewing machine serviced. I finally found the telephone number of the local people who service machines. So if you, (sorry I forgot!) want to make yourself known and I will send thier name and number in a PM. Not sure if I can put peoples information out on the net.

Have come across this site, while looking for spare parts for my overlocker.
Thought it may be of interest to beginners and regular sewers too. isew.co.uk
Sorry its not the link, I thought I had pasted it, but I hadnt!

Has anyone seen or has the book 'One Piece Wearables' by Sheila Brenna?
