Is there a way of saving the current projects on my tablet or laptop before they are taken off this page please. I am quite new to this and not sure if this is possible to do.

Just another thought I had on this subject. How do I find out which projects are about to be removed from the site as can't see how to find out.

I have this zipped panel from a botched project and I want to make it into a simple little coin pouch instead. No matter how I go about it something goes wrong. I don't want any raw edges. It's lined (the bottom of the panel is shown in the bottom right of the four pieces). The remaining three pieces are meant to be the back and the lining. Could really use some help. Thanks!

I'm not sure how you would exactly go about putting it all together to make a coin pouch, but you could always put bias binding around the edges, that would hide them

Advice needed from you lovely people in my phone. I need to make a strap for a syringe driver bag and I will need to join the fabric to make a 55" long strap. Should I use an edge to edge flat seam or join the two pieces on the diagonal? Which do you think will be stronger seam. Thanks, Lynda x
Debbie replied: 19 Nov 21 at 08:59
A diagonal seam is less noticeable than a straight seam and will sit flatter as when folded over the two sides don't sit on top of each other, so that would be my choice!

I would like to make the toy storage box but on a smaller scale and also put dividers in but don't know how to do the dividers. Can anyone help me with this please.
Sharon replied: 17 Nov 21 at 18:39
This would be great as I would like to make an open top storage cube with 3 sections for a Christmas present for my daughter. I am going to fill it with re-useable make up remover pads etc which I plan on making too.

Hi everyone. I seem to have accumulated a lot of dressmaking patterns over the past few years (free gift with magazine) Obviously I want to keep some of them, with a view to one day making them, however there are those which I will never use. I don't want to throw them away, so I was wondering if anyone knows of a charity or something who could make use of them. Many thanks and stay safe
Debbie replied: 17 Nov 21 at 17:30
I don't know of a charity I'm afraid, would you local charity shop accept them? Or anyone here know of anyone who could use them?

Robyn?s hair - how much wool did you all use for his hair? I think I might have done it too thick, it took forever and I used every scrap of a 50g ball. He looks good though. Now to the fun bit of making his clothes!

Thanks Debbie and Meghan. It does look good even though it took a long time!

I have made Debbies large tie tote bag. It was easy to follow along and came out really lovely but I am thinking I did the measurement wrong way around. Is it 16"wide 14 "long as I did it the other way round and once I realized I just moved the tabs a bit . Debbies looks longer to me could it have been 16"across and 18"long?
BW replied: 15 Nov 21 at 11:47
When measurements are written down its goes with the width first and then the length, or as I like to remember it along the corridor and up the stairs. The bag Debbie made was 14 wide and 16 long.
