What can I make?Re: What can I make?Keep your eyes open Lisa, you never know what you may find, look for cotton blouses too, I got a lovely one was a M&S one £1 hardly worn, washed ironed and starched ~ Bargain.
That material would make lovely bunting Re: What can I make?Thanks Perchy, will go and have a look in the local charity shops I've not been in yet and see if they have anything I did have a quick look at the clothes but they weren't has cheap as i thought they would be. Carboot sale might be worth a look too :)
Re: What can I make?Hi Lisa, loving the owl, he/she is so cute and the material for the phone cover is very pretty, I love materials like that. I find that the price of stuff in charity shops can vary so much, the ones in our town charge silly prices but in the next town stuff is a lot cheaper.
Re: What can I make?Thanks Mrs Boodles. I already have someone who wants an owl made as a doorstop
And the material for the phone cover was from a fabric bundle on fleabay, I have 7 other pieces like that which are so pretty. Ahhh, I must try our charity shops then, I bet they're just full of all my nana and grandads old stuff
Re: What can I make?Going to have a look on ebay, those materials are so lovely.
Re: What can I make?
Just search "Fabric bundle" or something like that, there's quite a few, most of them come in different colours too :) Not sure it's worth £4.50 for 8 20x20cm pieces, but it is great quality material, nice and thick. Re: What can I make?Search on line for the swap, buy and sell sites local to you, worth asking for any fabrics, you would be surprised how many people have bits of fabrics lying around or bundled away, there are some gorgeous fabrics, my favourite was £16 a metre I am not very proficient so thought better of it!
Glad you are enjoying it, I am onto another project at the moment, but my mind works faster than I can sew!! Re: What can I make?Ohh that's a good idea! I looked for a sewing machine on the sell/swap sites but never thought of asking for material
Can I ask what you're working on, or is it a surprise? Re: What can I make?
If they are only 20 x 20 cm pieces and you are going to put them on your selling website people will not be able to order a particular item in a different colour (e.g. a fox the colour of the second phone case). Where is the link to your shop? Or is it not up and running yet? That's interesting. If I type x 2 but leave out the space I get Dance caller. http://mo-dance-caller.blogspot.co.uk/p/what-i-do.html
Sunny Clucker enjoyed Folk music and song in mid-Cheshire Re: What can I make?I don't plan on people being able to order them in different colours, Mo. Just whatever the picture is they'll get :)
The shops not up and running yet, want to get a few more things made first
Re: What can I make?Lisa,
On Ebay have you searched Fat Quarter bundles? Usually a good range and a reasonable price and you get larger pieces of fabric/ Dom Ali Woks My World
Re: What can I make?
I kept seeing fat quarter mentioned when looking at fabric but I got confused by it (doesn't take much ) does it have an actual size, or does it depend on how large the roll of fabric is? Some places said it was a quarter of a yard, is that right?
Re: What can I make?A fat quarter is 18" by 22" Quilters usuall buy their fabric like this.

Re: What can I make?The technical answer is that it is half a yard of material cut along the selvage side for half the width of the roll which is typically 44" wide.
