Overmydeadbody has started a crafty/sewing blog, if anyone wants to take a look...

[overmydeadbody]

so resourceful

There are a few tutorials in it that others might find interesting.

Very good! I will keep an eye on it.

Ooh, help me with my curtains, have the material and everything and has been sitting staring at me for nearly a year

Like it!

111 projects in a year - wow

thank you, will keep an eye on it also.

Thanks!

Figgy curtains aren't too bad once you get started, the hardest part is getting the motivation to start working on a project as ibg as curtains, you can't just put it all away quickly when you've had enough

If you need pracical advice I'm more than happy to help though.

Oooh love it.Am of your charity shop sewing box.I dream of finding one and the go for ££££££ at auction.

You're a soapmaker as well aren't you?

Have just been inspired to post a comment on your blog - will be visiting often!

ooh thank you chickbean!

Umm, the last time I made soap was about 10 years ago PerAnua, so I guess technically yes I do make soap

I want a nailgun...

omdb, that is why they are still in the bag, especially as I was considering making a pelmet too. I must be bonkers but dd doesn't seem to mind her rubbish blind atm.

Actually a blind is exactly what I need tips on making, curtains I need the motivation for

Why on earth did you stop making soap? It's fun...

I am sooo jealous of you finding the old sewing basket with all the vintage threads and buttons. All I found in the charity shop today were dubious ornaments and clothes not in my size.

I will be following your blog - this year is hopefully going to be a crafty year for me - I am knitting regularly, and am hoping to work my way through some of the other craft projects that I've shopped for but not actually done.

lovely blog OMDB - what beautiful items you have made. I am also of your charity shop finds (I might have given a little squeak of excitement at the button photo)

Figgyrolls I made my DS a terrible roman blind, it was really easy to make, but I didn't realise there is a formula for working out the distance between each fold, so it doesn't actually pull up very neatly.

It was very easy to make though, and looks good once I've neatended the folds

PerArdua I ran out of Caustic soda

Staying and Kurri I don't often find such amazing finds at charity shops, believe me.

Good luck with your crafting projects Staying, I have so many ideas and future projects planned out, I know I will never have the motivation to get on with completing them all...

Amazing blog, overmydeadbody and some beautiful projects.

The jars under the shelf is genius.

I have just become the proud owner of a sewing machine (my first) so this is great....have bookmarked it!

Thank you GentleOtter!

Excellent differentname, sewing is great! The Arts and Crafts topic here is great for inspiration and help, there are a lot of talented MNers out there.

I lvoe it - just had a quick look at it.

Thank overmydeadbody, I have already fixed a few things for practice! I have a good friend who is a very experienced sewer, so she will be offering lost of help! :)

She has already set me a task of making something before the end of the week...I'll try something very simple!

Overmydeadbody- I love your blog, sewing and having a machine is just a pipe dream at the moment- DS is only wee and I'm pregnant.
Would you consider adopting me? I want personalised bags please :) I'm not trouble honest

Fab blog! I'll be badgering you for advice!

pipplin ok, I'll adopt you if you agree to sit under the table and operate the machine's foot pedal

Bumperlicious I'm only an amatuer, but I'm happy to help with advice if I can.
