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

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

why when you have a gullible silly mum to do it for you 😐

i wouldnt let bradley even plug my machine in, he would turn it into a coffee machine in 10 minutes :_|

i did deliberate whether to tell them you need an overlocker to mend clothes but i knew it wouldnt fly with them :^O

[petitecalicocat]

[captainbovine]

tara, you're the best!! lazy boysX-(

[rainydaywoman11]

Clever girl Tara - like you I have my own power tools and all the bits. No-one alowed to use them except me 😛  Love the mirrors too.

I would like Santa to bring me a Laser Tape Measure - have you seen them?  Built in spirit level - ace if you're doing shelves or the like.

Capt B. - do you have your curtains for new house yet?  You prob have cos you're always so organised - just that Mr Abak has some lovely fabrics reduced.

[twishy123]

I have a rusty screwdriver,a hammer with a loose head and a saw that doesn't saw.......

I think I need to ask the tool fairy for some new kit :^O

[rainydaywoman11]

You do Twishy, you do.  Or else just pay someone if you hate doing it yourself.

When the joiner was installing the kitchen in son's flat he used one of these laser thingies and I was so intrigued.  He lent it to me over the weekend and I had great fun (was doing the tiling), they make a rotten job so easy.

BUT fav thing of all is an electric saw from Q*C - it cuts through tiles (and lots else I suppose), but I was always stuffed when it came to cutting tiles - and had to ask a man to do it, pffft.  This thing is like a knife through buter, magic, I love it.

My beloved does not look after his stuff, whereas mine is always put away luverly and clean.  I'm sad aren't I?  But............ happy:-D

[twishy123]

You do Twishy, you do.  Or else just pay someone if you hate doing it yourself

oooooooh nooooo.... I need to learn how to do it on my own,i like a challenge but I think some half decent tools might go a long way to helping 🙂

I have been known to knock a nail in wiv a huge pebble(from the beach).....cos the 'ead kept dropping off me 'ammer :8}
