So cross. I have spent about two hours looking for the box of feet for my sewing macine as I need the one to put in an invisible zip. Ended up ordering new ones from Amazon but should be here tomorrow. Wine now I think!

Love the boys in wellies. You manage to express new haircuts with just a few strokes and color changes and the wonder of intent of looking at something in nature without actually showing what they are looking at.

A bolero style jacket to go with the dress maybe?It's just a simple shift dress with a fairly deep neck but the fabric is very nice -silvery grey with some pink. I had originally intended to make a more involved design but decided that it would be better simpler. The good thing is that I have enough fabric and lining left to make something else as well.

Oh, dear. Hope they do. So annoying when you can't finish something. My machines tool box attaches to the machine to form the sewing platform and is removable for doing sleeves. Ancient now but still working well despite several mishaps including dog pulling it off the table and bending the spool winderSo cross.

Think I can beat you on the length of time between cutting and making. I have some shorts pieces attached to a pattern that were for my mid teens daughter. Weather changed, she grew.....she'll be 39 this year ..... Granddaughter s will be teens before long. Maybe that pattern will be back in fashion....I cut out a top 2 years ago and have never done any more. I would like to take it with me when we go to Northern Cyprus in a week - but my garden is also in desperate need of weeding - will I get it done and if I do, will I like it ......... Not very good at sewing as I haven't done any for about 25 years!!! I love the sewing bee too and couldn't even tackle what they call "basic" sewing.. Also not so keen on the new lady, what do others think?

Love the cockerel and bluebell woodsI joined a new local watercolour group in September. The guy who runs it is not a natural born teacher - more of a facilitator really. I've been painting on and off for years, so was not a complete beginner, but just doing it every week for a while has really helped me improve. I'm really pleased with my latest efforts. So much so that I've just framed the Venice one.View attachment 18772 View attachment 18773 View attachment 18774 View attachment 18775

I only realised I'd started replying to some fairly old posts after a while cos I started at the start then decided to start backwards and the whole thread wasn't as long as I thought. Glad I've somehow flagged it up for you. Only done a few more rounds on the dog blanket cos there wasn't enuf light with my lamp to see the knitting properly when I was watching tv.I have just realised I did not have this thread on "watch thread" .... you lovely bunch of really talented people
This is what I am thinking..It's either that or make the dress up again at the end of the year when this one will hopefully be too big!A bolero style jacket to go with the dress maybe?
I'd go with the jacket with how changeable the weather has been. You can always take the dress in when it's too bigThis is what I am thinking..It's either that or make the dress up again at the end of the year when this one will hopefully be too big!

Creative use of leftover material and good way to get matching sets of pjs. T-shirts material is difficult to sew and they're cheap to buy ready made so best of both for value and individuality.Got the sewing bug at the moment. Am making pyjama bottoms. I then buy t shirts a size too big from Tesco and decorate them with something made from the fabric from the bottoms.
