Great British Sewing Bee...and Me!

I am loving the second series of this programme,  like the Great British Bake Off it focuses on people's skills and experience to create amazing things. What I also enjoy is, although it is a competition, everyone seems to get along and is supportive, which is lovely to watch.

Toyota 21 LUX @sewming machine discount 2014

I bought a sewing machine (Toyota 21 LUX)
over a year ago, I confess it took me 6 months to get it out of the box. Actually I do mean that quite literally! Six month's further on and I've still not sewn anything!!! I think I might be scared of  attempting to touch it, which is odd, as I have used a sewing machine before, granted it was a long time ago now...

 I bought my machine from this fabulous website and benefited from their amazing offer too...worth checking out.

I have also started looking at website's relating to patterns and sewing, especially those that cater to the fuller figured amoungst us and these are the ones I liked the best.
Simplicity
Jaycotts
All Free Crafts
Sew Direct
Sew.co.uk

I may need to motivate myself to try a little harder on the sewing front, especially as at 5ft I always need to shorten clothes I buy!
