Re: Registering and Monitoring home educated children propos
Just a quick note back to the Registration policy. The policy is trying to be introduced as a result of a case where a child that was EHE (electively home educated) was denied access to social services and medical professionals before he sadly passed away through neglect. Now, I understand that this...

I did mix a little of teh traditional hips in but you will find these rounder hips much easier to wo...

Re: beaded pearl bracelet
Its a really easy technique and can be used to make loads of other items. I know this style is quite dated but is in trend at the moment so its a great gift idea. I bought enough supplies to make 12 kits and that worked out at £2.50 each so its cost effeective too.

Re: Fabric for baby sling
I have made a moby from stretch jersey. I paid 2.49 per meter from the range. The only drawback was the only pattern they had was leopard print... I have finally had to stop using and swap for a mei tei.
