Funky Fabrix



These are the two fat quarters I bought for bag making. I haven't quite decided what kind of bag to make, just that it needs to be over the shoulder or like a sling type so I have free hands. I can't make up my mind so it will be a while before I decide.

Funky Fabrix has a 15% off sale on ebay for the next three days. They have a huge range and they all look sooo delicious. Get in quick!!!

OOOOh they also have free postage if you use the coupon on their online store. Brilliant.

    There's a great Vogue pattern (7862) which is a shoulder bag that leaves your hands free for carrying kids etc. I made one early this year in a Japanese print, its great! Has a few little hidden pockets hand for phones & keys, and I mastered invisible zips whilst making it! I came across your blog today, it's lovely to see another young mum into sewing , we are not so common! Michelle

First I removed the standard foot from my Janome sewing machine (Sewist 521). I realised I still needed to remove the shank, which is the part that is screwed on, and holds the interchangeable feet. So with one hand holding the screwdriver and one hand holding my daughter, who just had to watch, it popped out disappeared somewhere. NO! I was about to kick myself but luckily I found it in the basket underneath my table. Phew. The Birch invisible zipper foot comes with one shank already in place so you know how it's suppose to fit. You have to select the correct shank that fits your machine and slide it onto the foot piece. I just tried each blue part on my machine and made sure it was wide enough to cover the metal leg bit and that I could fit the screw in it's side. Once you find the correct shank sl...
