Hmmm ... there's the cherries tapestry I started about 26 years ago age about seven, for a pincushion (honestly, attention span of a gnat) :roll: ... ... the shirt pattern I cut out a mere seventeen years ago intending to make me smart for my first 'job' or rather work experience ... ... The feet of...

Hello :wave: Tis the season of even more singing with the children at school that usual, and I have no strap for either my guitar or mandolin. My arms ache! I play sitting down at home but that's asking for trouble with 420 children wriggling about :iconbiggrin: Just wondered if anyone had any ideas...

I love spearmint & chamomile together, also love sage for a sore throat and lemonbalm is nice for headaches. I've not much experience of making teas from dried fruit but I like rhubarb, lemon & ginger as a cordial ... though that's another winter warmer one, not really refreshing like you as...

Aaaaaaaaaaaargh the dreaded iron tablets :shaking: I like Floradix but can't afford it all the time so take a bottle every couple of months or so. I take regular vitamins and minerals with iron in and try & have a big green fest at least a couple of times a week e.g. piles of spinach/ watercress...

Not just me then :lol: I don't know how that helps but somehow it does :hugish: Bonnie, alas Archie's lairdy-loveliness had nothing to do with it as he wasn't even in that episode having been replaced by some inferior numpty whose name I can't even remember & who looked like he'd just walked off...

Aw shucks, I've eaten now ... maybe come tomorrow

Thanks everyone! Thankyou for the zipperfoot pics & tips, I sort of get it now I think :thumbright: I am using the centre cloths from the tables at our wedding ... I made them so they would be a good size to make cushions from after but then we had to add an extra table as I did my sums wrong so...

Oh, I've often wondered that. Good question!

Hello, after tearing myself away from the settee watching monarch of the glen I have just reversed my car into the wheelie bin. If hubby was here he would have realised by now that my period is due :roll: Why at this time every month do I crash around the place like a 'baby rhinocerous', covering my...

Keith!This is good news. I have no idea why you need a special foot for zips but every time I tell anyone what I'm doing they say "Have you got a zipper foot" and I say "No" and they tut-tut and shake their heads.

I am happy to hear you can use a normal foot.

Thank you :hugish: Now I just need to find the zips ahem ...I must have been tidying up again, can't find the dratted things anywhere! :lol: AHA! I spy them :pirate: Anyone have any thoughts on how to know which zipper foot to buy? As I'm wanting to do some draught excluders next and given the state...

I know digression is our friend on ish but I wan't expecting smoking tips on a thread called Quittin Smoking!

Someone put a photo of our wedding on without asking, I was not happy!

Hello :wave: I am trying to make some seat pads for our dining room chairs. So far I have sewed three sides round some old cushion pads, so it LOOKS like a seat pad. cushionforweb.jpg I bought zips & tapes to tie the cushions to the chair spindles but am stuck now! Apparantly different sewing ma...
