I'd like to congratulate the moderators on their new initiatives. It has long been a "hobbyhorse" of mine that new members cannot work out how the site works and the least we "old timers" can do is to try to use the sections in the way in which they

Caftan top with Urban Threads "delicate neckline" design. The fabric is polyester crepe, quite heavy so it drapes well. I started with a rectangle folded into 4 and pressed to mark the position of the neckline. I added a V-shape to the design to attach

I really don't want to upset anyone, but may I tactfully suggest that everyone reads through the thread intended for new users in the Q&A section? It seems that we all have something to learn about how the site works. I couldn't possibly do what the mod

Fruity towel topper. A new member is asking for instructions in the Q&A section. Can anyone help her? I've stitched this one out to work out how it is done, but I have put mine in the middle of the side of the towel rather than the corner. (Can't be

Hanging storage for hoops. At the moment I separate hooks for my hoops, but I wanted to reduce the number of holes in the wall. I also wanted to try out the Urban Threads "sewing sleeve" designs (which I have placed horizontally rather than vertically.)

Is anyone else having problems sending PMs? I keep getting a query error. (It may be that moderators are hiding from me though!)

This piece of hand worked cross stitch has been waiting for a circular frame for about 5 years. (If only I knew a wood turner ;) ) I appliqued with a rope edging it to this furnishing fabric and made a cushion cover. (It will look better when I find a

A cosy for my cafetiere with two designs from Urban Threads. (Who have a sale starting today, just after I bought some designs yesterday.) I left tails of bias binding to tie it on.

For the scissorholics: The little darlings arrived in the post this morning from a good friend. They have slightly curved points and are adjustable so the length of cut can be controlled. I am told that they were intended for cutting buttonholes (when

Knitting for a change. I found 4 cones of very thin yarn (a variety of fibres) in my machine knitting stash. I wound them together and came up with this. The cable and lace panels make it look much more difficult than it was!

Chambray top with cross-stitch poppies. I could just get the neck edging and the poppies to fit in my 200mm square hoop. I added the facing in the hoop as well. Hope you like it! Sue

On another forum I visit (music orientated), there is an interesting discussion about casseroles. (Musicians are very fond of their stomachs.) I thought some of you would like to add to the accumulated knowledge. Here in UK, the word has two meanings.

Patchwork covered notebook - or needlebook. The second picture shows the whole cover and the third is to try to show how the inside works. This one has paper pages but could just as easily be fabric.

This needlebook is made ITH and the "pages" are stitched to card which slots into the cover. The cover design could be replaced with an initial or other small decoration and the pages made of paper to make a cute notebook. You will notice that I need

I thought it was time I practiced what I was preaching so I used some of the Autumn Leaves designs from this site to make a holder for plastic bags. I used the design in the link twice with one mirrored and put just the leaves from another one of the set
