New Feet!

I have purchased 2 new feet for the shop machine and given it a new lease of life!
Freemotion embroidery - my handwriting is far neater with a machine than a pen! And
Concealed zipper - a miracle product!

Both for use, when hiring the machine and on workshops!

Covered Button Workshop


Cute little 3" hoops for embroidering those covered buttons!

Baker's Twine

There is something very appealing about red & white baker's twine, maybe it's the many uses or the fact it's 100% cotton. Any way I've bought some for the workshops and the shop - 10p a metre shouldn't break the bank!



Speaking of 100% cotton, we also have a large piece of natural cotton wadding, unwashed & unbleached, which I am going to cut into a metre width. So after a little maths (American, so it came in inches!), it'll be £8.25/m (or however much you want - no minimum here!)

Mixed delivery!

Bit of a mixture - hessian, white cotton poplin, Gutermann textile glue, metal cover buttons & olive wood toggles!!

Long time coming...

I've only had my Janome machine for 16 years and just discovered I can drop the feed dogs and buy a free embroidery foot for it!!!  Oh well, it's got a new lease of life and I've also bought a concealed zipper foot.  So, when they arrive, you can rent the shop machine and give them a try!
