    9. yup practice makes perfect is fun to learn more how to work with the fabric. Many thanks for the compliments of the fabric I get for that alot
       
    10. Nice job on the outfit! Taking measurements and hand sewing isn't the easiest, and you did a great job on your first outfit!

    11. Aww thank you much appreciate I enjoy making by hands sometimes to get an idea. Plus sadly I was about to use the sewing machine. I had but was missing the transparent bobbin cover so I had to order in Amazon and bought an sewing machine carrier bag too.

    16. That's a pain - they're so easily lost. I'm glad you managed to find a replacemnt ot order.

      My machine needs to go in to be serviced because it's convinced it's stuck in bobbin-winding mode all the time so won't stitch! (the disadvantages of a computerised machine over a purely mechanical one).
