A friend wanted two facecloths as a present for a little girl. Today has been a sewing day so she will get them back tomorrow. Sometimes it must appear that I only embroider on facecloths and make taggy blankets. I do other things sometimes. The font

A selection of small pink bags to carry ballet shoes in to take to dancing class. I was having some fun with presents for my grand daughters and their friends. Each bag is named and each dancer is different. My photography skills still seem somewhat la

Today was a sad day as the beautiful fabric shop where I lived closed for the last time. The business was put up for sale due to the owners health but sadly there were no bids. Fabric buying to my mind has to be done in a shop and not on the internet, s

This is the first piece of sewing/work produced in my new sewing room. I have done this as a brief diversion of trying to fit all my stuff into the new room. I have always loved the designs by Liberty of London. This piece is furnishing cotton and was

Last week I discovered that someone I know has a embroidery machine. The top of the range Janome to be precise. I was a little amazed to hear this news but was left speechless when I was told that she has had the machine for a few months or so and its s

While slowly getting all my sewing stuff into my new room I keep finding bits and pieces that I haven't seen in ages. This is one of them. Every now and then someone asks about who helped them start to sew when they were young. One of my childhood mem

After a very long wait the sewing room in our new house is READY. Exciting as the eldest grandchild used to say. Picture 1 shows my other half making some minor adjustment to my PR machine that has just been moved in. Picture 2 shows it in place. It h

Well after moving in to our new home in July last year we have just moved my Brother PR machine in to its new home. It very neatly blocked access up to the top floor and I have gained a selection of bruises as a result of hitting the table it sits on, wi

I have seen some beautiful fabric that is suitable for making bags. BUT the fabric has some finish added to it. There is a faint wax smell and the fabric has a slightly stiff feel. Ideas as to why I shouldn't get this fabric, has anyone sewn with fabr

This is happening on the reverse of my stitching. As you can see the red top thread is mossing together and causing a mess. This has happened on something else recently but the machine kept on sewing. Today my machine stopped and I rethreaded and cut o
