Today I’ve made a scrub top and three scrub caps. By slightly miscalculated as now I don’t have any more thread of the right colour to make another scrub top even though I haven’t sufficient fabric!

Probably, purps, thanks! The tension is wrong. Going to make a pencil case then a mask. |

Sweet pin cushion. 😀 I’ve just bought some glass topped pins on Amazon ( watching too much sewing bee) They are dreadful. Leave permanent holes on the fabric. I think I should have opted for silk pins? |

There's a lovely programme on BBC4 (iPlayer) "Fabric of Britain". The first episode is all about knitting: bbc.co.uk |

None of you warned me I'd need to *iron*! Had to get it down off the cupboard top, it's only been used for interviews and Hama beads... The board is in the loft, but I used a folded teatowel on the ceramic hob!

Ha ha! Ironing is pretty essential to neat sewing especially if it’s clothes.
