Unfortunately not. I like the idea of buying the fabric remnant. Thanks Tsu!

[Squirrel]

I've bought it. I've just ebayed some stuff so had paypal funds burning a hole. I've got some fabric and a sewing machine, all I need now are the lessons.

[Mme.Hibou]

Just make sure you make them! Rather than leaving it in a bag for the next couple of years, which is what would happen here!

It's quite a lot of fabric too.

[Squirrel]

Of course I won't leave it in a bag unmade!

[Mme.Hibou]

:lol:

[Squirrel]

:shame: Ask me in a couple of years.

Has anyone seen nice grey and yellow bedlinen on their travels? Not flowery though *fussy*

eta: Never mind, they're flowers! :ella:

[Squirrel]

I think it'll be enough fabric for one large cushion cover, if I don't fuck it up.

Eta: or two if I do them plain on one side .

I adore that mirror. And don't think it needs fairy lights. I am saying that through gritted teeth as I love fairy lights with all my dead soul, but it doesn't. IMHO blah blah.

[FiveO'Clock]

Lights might detract from that mirror, it's stunning.

OOH! Exciting! I will ask you about them in 2018. :plentyoftime:

If you do a search on sew and pillowcase on YouTube there are heaps of tutorials

[Squirrel]

I did it at school, how hard can it be?

[Livilla]

It's just straight lines, the hardest bit will be threading the machine :))

[Squirrel]

It's also that sort of thing that I need the lessons for. Its my mum's and is ancient and a good machine but very complicated. I remember being fascinated by changing the feet over.

I was quite good at sewing but it was 25 years ago.

[lazzikins!]

It's like riding a bike, surely? :))

There might be an online instruction book that you can print out - my sister has my grandma's sewing machine, I think, and found a wealth of information on how to use it on the good old internet.

[Squirrel]

It probably has the original instructions, I haven't looked yet but that's a good idea anyway. I still want lessons though, I don't like self-learning.

[lazzikins!]

Totes, lessons are the only way I can do it. Even with YouTube videos of monosyllables and images on how to crochet, I could only get it when an elderly woman sat next to me and showed me how.

I love your hallway lamp F'Artiste :) I am after a Tiffany lamp for my hallway.

You're all right, of course . I bought fairy lights at the weekend and it looks... Odd. Which just means I have fairy lights to string across somewhere else .
