Make do and mend tutorial

Post: # 163618Post Annpan »

I've just finished writing up the first of my 'make do and mend' tutorial posts.

#1 How to mend a bed sheet

Thought it might be of interest to some people... I'll try to remember to let you know with each one I post :flower:

Groovy!

I've got a sheet that's going to have to have the 'cut down the middle, sew the sides together' treatment...its an original 70s purple flowery thing that i love! My most favourite bedding is original 70s! But...the pattern is beginning to wear in the middle, and there is a small hole forming :(
