I'm helping a friend learn how to use a computer. (As she looks after our garden when we are away, I'm happy to do anything I can in return.) Now, you may not believe this, but she has never even used a typewriter before! She is getting on really we

Ropheka has asked me to post this for her. She is thrilled with this apron she received from her secret sister for her birthday, which is today. She asked me to say how much she adored it, specially making it personal just for her with Rosemary on it. Hap

Ideas please! My daughter bought me a gorgeous jelly roll for my birthday and I'm itching to play with it (although it looks beautiful just as it is.) I thought I might make a jacket with it and wondered if anyone else had done so and how it turned out.

Woo hoo - its been raining all afternoon so I couldn't do any gardening! (There is plenty to do after being away from home for four weeks) So I went into my sewing room to see if my machine was still speaking to me. I asked Mike to take a photo of what I

I've been unable to add any comments or links. It has been very frustrating, but it seems to be fixed now. (Fingers crossed)

It is a Bank Holiday weekend here in UK and the weather is traditionally bad on these occasions! However, it is spring and we found a bank covered in primroses when we walked the dog.

Message for everyone in the Secret Santa scheme. My email address has been hacked and you have probably had an email from me today but from the hacker. Please delete it immediately. Any further emails will be from me as I have changed my passwords. Yah

Hope for the spring - I just saw this rather scruffy peacock butterfly sampling the nectar in my flowers. It is probably just out of hibernation and feeding itself up ready to find a mate. It's a good job we have plenty of nettles for them to lay their e

Does anyone have any tips to share about Sfumato digitising? I bought the module when I first bought Embird and have only just got round to playing with it. I added an outline to define some of the architectural details on this first attempt as I didn't

Is there one piece of sewing equipment worth tipping your entire (full) rubbish bag out and searching through to find? Yesterday I mislaid my pair of blunt ended surgical forceps. I use them for so many things that I would be lost without them. The rubbis

UK Cute get together. Today, four of us met at Ann's house for lunch and a chat and the at my house for coffee and more chat. We couldn't let that lot in Cape Town have all the fun! In the picture squeezed onto my sofa are Pam (justsew), Ann (scottie

Does anyone know what this type of fastener is called? I'm looking for some and I don't know what to search for. The picture isn't great as I enlarged it from on in Projects, but I hope it is recognisable.

It's been just one of those days! I got up, determined to put a particular motif on some table napkins. (Something I had never done before.) I tweaked my design (especially digitised with a particular friend in mind), added a placement line and a basting

Looking at the projects and the designs used, it seems that all kinds of tastes are represented. I thought it might be interesting to discuss types of design - so what kind of design really floats your boat? Personally, I like any that look as if a ski
