Blackrocksrock Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Wow - what patience you must have it is superb and I cannot see the threads either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 I have my ticket for the quilt show and it's for Saturday - couldn't rely on anyone to sort out the chickens on the weekdays. OH printing off the e-ticket for me! NEC here I come! My friend didn't want to go. But she has issues with her mum. Not dementia but brain problems after an accident and getting progressively worse, poor girl, so she needs to help her dad. What a shame she can't feel that she can have a break on her own - she'd feel so much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 And it looks like the boy has a house and moving this Friday/Saturday. I'm a little hesitant until I know all's been signed, sealed and delivered! My room, my ROOOOOOOM!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubereglu Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Ended up starting to knit squares again...I seem to have done a dozen in the past fortnight, so it looks like it's going to be another blanket making summer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 It feels like a good idea with a little chill in the air! The house has let agreed put on it! The boy is moving - for 6 months at least! I'm a very bad mother. MY ROOOOOOOM!!! Hello fancy quilt sewing machine, how I've missed you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlottechicken Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 I've turned a charity shop £1 skirt into a top, because the only broderie anglaise tops I could find were white and very short sleeved. Skirt Find a top you like the shape of and lie it over the skirt, both folded for a bit of symmetry Cut out shape and sew together! I've hemmed it now, and am going to use a bit of the old waistband to put cuffs on the sleeves then I just need to find my bias binding to do the slash neck! Sorry, photos are a bit big Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Wow! That's the sort of thing I fantasise about doing, but don't have the courage to try ... that looks brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plum Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Wow just like that! You didn't even unpick the seams, I'm amazed. And it looks great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlottechicken Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Thank you! Compared to the wonderful craft things you lot on here are able to create I thought it was a bit of a poor relation, to be honest. You didn't even unpick the seams No, the skirt upside down had all the seams in the right places to give enough shape, the curve of the hemline matched what I wanted for t shirt style sleeves too. I was pleased that the sleeves actually look OK as they are and hang well, despite them not being a separate piece of fabric. I've got a nearly finished skirt from a toile de jouy Canadian bedsheet somewhere, lost in the house move at present, will post a pic when I find it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Thank you! Compared to the wonderful craft things you lot on here are able to create I thought it was a bit of a poor relation, to be honest. Oooh no not at all, never think that. Even first goes at things may not go the way you want, but anyone having a go at anything is something to be proud of. And you have made a unique shirt. Such a good idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
