    @MelV83  That is GORGEOUS & pretty well identical to the costumes in the movie!!   Well done YOU! 

    Your daughter would be SO chuffed!  I hope she continues to wear it, even after the show finishes!

    I’m confessing. 
    Heaps hanging towels cut out as each one got finished someone would get gifted one.  Got 4 mths to get all of them done before BMTea. Along with matching pot holders. Baby Burping cloths with matching bibs. The list is never ending

    This looks cool - make your own cards, just with old Tea Bags, some PVC glue and bits from your garden ....

    That's a real bummer @cranky_granny :( 

    Can you use a thimble to 'push' it thru & then a small pair of pliers to then pull it out? xx

    @cranky_granny I've got two of those rubber finger caps that bank tellers etc used to use in years gone bye. I put one on my thumb and one on my forefinger to push and then pull through the needle.

    I used to use those back when I was doing accounts payable & receivable, @AllyJay!! I used to have to go thru MOUNTAINS of paperwork!  How I wish I'd kept a few!!  ;)

    I better get some to wear full time. Just picking up random stuff is a pain if its sitting flat on a surface.
