Afternoon Island <3 :-D

The World looks so much different when the sun shines :-D

I do have a sewing machine Island, but I prefer to hand hem as it makes it invisible. I can remember our sewing teacher at school. If you could see a stitch on the outside of the fabric, you had to unpick it and start again. It must have stuck.

The jeans were not mine Belle, but Beloved's from Gap. Now you have to order everything online, it is pot-luck.

I too noticed the M&S sizing has gone a bit haywrie. I used to be a Regular, now I am a Short. I know you shrink a bit when you age, but this is silly! :-D :-D :-D :-D ;-)

Afternoonie all :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

The sun's shining on me after a dull start - it's a bit nippy though :-0

I did some sewing yesterday and very pleased to say - my hands aren't too bad today.

Maddie....... hemming curtains and jeans by hand? Do you not have a sewing machine? :-S

Afternoon Ann <3 :-D

Blue sky & Sunshine has just arrived, thank you ;-) :-D

I haven't, can't sew for the life of me :-D

Afternoon everyone :-D :-D <3 <3

Tis blue skies and nippy here...just been down for the papers and a sneaky Cappuccino....which I drank in my car staring longingly at the distant Welsh mountains...won’t be long now before we are allowed out of local lockdown
:-D :-D :-D

Have you all gone sewing mad.....I would join you but the last time I attempted to sew anything was 1965 :-D :-D :-D

Stay warm everyone <3 <3

Ooooo Von you snucked in :-0

Afternoon <3 <3

Have you shrunk, Maddie :-0

Or are they new M&S jeans....I noticed M&S have changed their sizes, I was standard but now short :-0. I had to keep reading their size chart...but definitely short and they fit :-D

Afternoon all :-D <3

I’ve been sewing too Maddie but about to order another needle for my machine. :-D

Afternoon All. :-D <3

No Belle, I am not Susie, sewing shirts for sailors either. :-D :-D ;-)

I was taking up jeans, and hemming up curtains. There does not look much material when they are hanging up, but crikey, I was swamped by them! Next time I will just use scissors and cut the ends off. :-D :-D

Morning Emma. <3 :-D

Dull and damp here, not a problem, won’t be doing anything taxing

Really sunny here, but still cold.

Daughter helped cutting back in the garden yesterday, now it needs chopping smaller to get as much as possible in the garden bin.

.......maybe later.

Morning Belle :-D ;-)

Dont talk to me about sequins! Do you know how many I stiched onto my last dress for Strictly? ;-)

I was sewing yesterday, and I have sore fingers this morning, never could get on with a thimble.

Anyway, have a good day everyone. <3 <3
