THE FHG SEWING THREAD :-D

[ilove2patch]

As requested, a place for us to ask for help and advice from other stitchers and to show the things we make.
Over to you.:-D

ooooh pretties!!!

i dont think i should make the bigger ones any bigger, they are 83mm, i was thinking of adding something to the middle, and tried a few ribbons and lace, but you then cannot tell its a big button and looks like a plastic disk:-(

Good afternoon 🙂 i think

Have you's all had an e-mail with the new pricing structure 😞 as a basic shop i can list a buy it now at 10p instead of 20p but f that item sells at 10.00 they will take 1.20 instead of 88p :_|

Lovely dolly's & buttons 🙂

[ilove2patch]

I guess that you got the email as you have a shop Gems. It wont be worth selling on here at all at this rate!

[learning2me]

Gems, thats why I sell on my websites and not on ebay anymore 😉 Fees just got too high.

Been shopping and got a few bits. Bird food, buttons (novelty) little odds and ends for pressies and a pair of trousers and a t shirt in a sale for Teddy 😄

lovely bag Maggie

very spring/summery!!:-D

i went into the garden to sit and fray a bit of material as the sun has come out, was careful with all the threads just incase the cat got them, she doesnt normall bother though, came inside to get a drink and saw a big black crow steal my wee pile:^O must have been watching me:O

made a brooch sort of, think i shall use tartan ribbons next time

[hiddengems2010]

I used to have a website a few year back, not for selling just for showcasing, today i opened the program and i'm going to do it again but add paypal. will take about a month or so but i dont realy make any profit on here as is it X-( what these take off me in 2 month will cover a years hostings fee i'm sure. I used to get the free one of blueyonder, not allowed to use that one for selling on.

Any one got any good ones i could use 🙂

Very nice bag Maggie 🙂

Lurve the button Merlin 🙂

[petitecalicocat]

Oooh lovely bag & button pin , people are so clever in here 🙂

[ilove2patch]

Have you looked at Folksy Gems?

Lovely button Merlin.:-D

[cat-knitter]

Very Pretty button 😄

 I know its simple to do but I'm not creative enough to make stuff like that 😞

Yes Gems, get your things on Folksy, I was saying earlier on FB I haven't sold anything yet but am surprised at how many views my few things have had 😄

[*hippyfairy*]

I now have a folksy shop 🙂

Nothing in it yet though !!

Dolls went happily to their new home - shop owner loved them and when I left they were being arranged around the till area so they'll get seen by everyone 🙂

I also make some teacup pincushions are she'd like me to make some for there too 🙂

I think my task for the next few weeks is to make some bits and get them listed on Folksy.

Thanks girls for all the encouragement both on here and FB 🙂 xxxxx

[cat-knitter]

Yey ... well done Hippy now you just need to tell us what its called & get those fingers busy  😄

have just added a sock monkey to mine 🙂 

[learning2me]

Gems I will PM you re websites.

Well done Hippy 🙂

Great brooch Merlin 🙂

[hiddengems2010]

R&R Mags Thanks :-x

I have a folksy shop, made a mess of the first ( no idea how) lol, didn't register properly me thinks. I have got another one ready just need photos cos its newest stuff and otherstuff that i've not had, wont put, on ebay and some i just need better photo's of them. need to look at getting some of the items birmingham hallmarked as they are just above 7g, tis all time and i'm not very good with a camera lol.

Aww pleased the dolls have got a good place in the shop Hippy, dolls next to a till 😄 sounds good to me 😄

That sale will come CK, it's like owt else it just takes time, have you linked with anyone, i need to look closer but i'm sure you can recommend sellers. When i get mine done i recommend ya, in return for a recommendation of course 😉

[*hippyfairy*]

Trust me as soon as its stocked I shall be letting everyone know.

I have got some craft fair items left so I'll photograph them next week and then get making more dollies. This time next year ladies I'll be a millionaire 😉

There is an option to add your own favourite sellers - sort of I'll scratch your back / you scratch mine 😉 😉

[hiddengems2010]

Thats it Hippy what wiv you, CK, Maggie, Me, that 4 already I'll even throw in a free reading 😉

[****merlin*****]

just went for a wander round Folksy, some VERY nice jewellery on there, havent looked at anything else yet

its like Etsy, and it reminded me of the site "regretsy" when etsy goes wrong, some questionable stuff!!
