Any quilters or sewers......

I had a frozen shoulder a few years ago. A physiotherapist gave me some exercises to do and it resolved quite quickly, hope yours does soon too.
 
Written in wrong place
 
Sorry I wrote this because I had written something but then realised it was in the wrong place but couldn't delete it, nothing to do with anyone else. Sorry for the confusion!!
 
I was wondering where you guys had gotten to! By you guys I mean crafters, I knew there must be some on MM! I know it's an old post but it's worth a try.

I wanted to post a pic of my current cross stitch project only so that I could get ideas what to do with it? It's my first cross stick project since I finished schools where I cross stitched my name (about 20yrs ago!). I started this project about 5 years ago but have got it out again and am determined to get it finished for Christmas (2013).

Frame it? Cushion it? I want to give it as a present. Thanks in advance for any help x

I also want to take up crochet, I'm going to have a lot of time on my hands soon x
 
Hi everyone, I know this thread is old but I'm hoping to resurrect it... I love sewing, went to classes but got bored of making bags so stopped. My friend is teaching me how to make dance costumes from scratch at the minute - I have made my daughters charactor costume for dance comp this week... I'll attach pics when she wears it Thursday :) anyway I also cross stitch, make friendship braids / bracelets, love tie dying & acid bleaching - that's all I can think of at the minute... Oh I also just bought a knitting loom to try out :)

Look forward to seeing / hearing about other peoples creations X
 
Oooh I would love to try a knitting loom! I haven't used one since school and that was only briefly.

I haven't taken any sewing classes but I bought a sewing machine last year with a view to making my own clothes and making adjustments to the clothes I have. I have mostly been making bibs for my daughter and this week I made her a couple of circle skirts to play dress up with. She loves dancing and twirling them around.
 
Ooh good to see this thread active again! I've got a couple of projects on the go currently. First is I'm making 50m of bunting for my future brother and sister in laws wedding, using 15 different fabrics as it's all multicoloured and different pattern so lots to do but it should look good when done!
Second is a biggie for me- I'm making my 3 bridesmaids dresses! I've got a year so if they go wrong we can come up with a plan b!
They will be knee length infinity dresses so it's a fairly simple pattern just need to make sure they are perfect! This was my trial run and the one I showed them asking if they wanted similar before telling them I made it! They will be in royal blue

Like the idea of the loom ... do let us know how you get on with it..that is when you do of course!

That's some undertaking Scarlett.. 50m bunting but what a brill idea... and WTG making the dresses too. Look forward to seeing the finished article.

I am about to start on making a nightdress for myself. It's the one thing that I really hate paying a lot of money for and as I have a very nice sewing machine and not a lot else to do with myself I thought I would do it myself.
I started knitting a cable vest some time ago but then developed polymyalgia in my arms so I still have it to finish. I love doing cable stitch and have knitted quite a few cable jumpers for my family in the past.

 
I sew occasionally. I'm Asian, so for occasions I dress traditional, and sew up an outfit or two. More so in the summer for weddings etc. Have an industrial sewing machine at home.

I actually learnt how to sew at 16, when I did textiles for GCSEs and then A-Levels.

Thanks Hun, it's is all the same dress believe it or not! That's why I loved them for the bridesmaids, they will each wear it the way they feel most comfortable as they are all very different figures, heights etc. hope they will turn out well! I'll keep you informed on here! Xx
