[Maffie]

if i could drive id happily come for it.(I love a day out) My machine is knackered from being used in scrapbooking. It's the next thing to buy I think (suggestions welcome)

Let me know how much you want for postage hun

 

[Maffie]

Im hoping to make soon (ish)

A wet bag (need to find some nice pul patterned fabric)
A taggie toy as Noah loves ribbon

I really need to sell all my old hobby stuff before I start stocking up on sewing stash. Thats the next job after selling all of Noah's baby clothes.

oh i have the biggest lit of projects...

i wanna learn to knit and currently have a big bundle of stuff from my mum ready and waiting but haven't found the time to start that mission- when i do i have a list of projects i'd like to try.

i also wanna make some more upcycled longies
a taggie (altho i've been meaning to do that for soooo long!!)
make a wrap (as in sling not nappy)
and a whole bunch of practice bits 4 my 'business'

i think these projects will take me waaaay past April tho

[dippy dee]

I got my patterned pul off of ebay and it is lovely nice and light weight nappy nearly finished from it now

Maffie will pm you about postage

 

[lfernie]

Lu I don't have a sewing maching either, I would love to make things though! Is this sewing business quite easy to do? I haven't used a sewing maching since school but I always quite like sewing x

 

[princessellie]

ooh i have lots to make, not just orders but sooo much i bought to make leyla stuff and ive never got round to it, we need to start saving for a deposit and its not looking likely with the amount ive spent on nappies lately so i am going to join you in diy april, although its slightly cheating since i will be out of the country for most of it hahaa

I wish I knew how to use a sewing machine. My knitting skills amount to knitting squares and scarves. I bought a kit in an attempt to learn how to crochet (never started it as I don't understand it!) I have numerous craft books but never have much luck Too tired atm to do anything anyways. I did make some hairslides the other day. I see so much awesome stuff on etsy but I lack the talent

 

[dippy dee]

Aww mrs muffin you would suprise yourself trust me i did.

 

[Rachel_C]

hmm i'm sure i just posted here but when i clicked post quick reply it took me to some photo website

anyway, i just remembered that a while ago somebody posted a link to some felt flowers on suckers that you use for essential oils in your nappy bucket or olbas oil close to baby's cot etc (think they were on jabula), well somewhere i have a bag of those little suckers and loads of felt scraps so i'm gonna try making some of those too

 

[Maffie]

ooooh they sound good Rachel

 

[princessellie]

ok im going to make a list so i can see if i can actually get some of our stuff done lol

atm i am making another soaker for leyla, have only done wasitband so far lmao, not sure if i'll have enough wool so will prob have to buy some more, i finished a soaker last night, will put a pic on at the end
