  2. I think you'll like the Pretty Pleater. I only made drapes once with mine, but can't imagine not having had it! Making a proper jig would be a nightmare!

    1. I did a couple of curtains with my previous wooden one but was so frustrated by it that anything after that I did by modelling the drapes how i wanted them and pinning to polystyrene until dry - I make that sound easy!! It was a real challenge - pins leaving visible holes in fabric, different fabrics behaving differently etc etc, so I am living in hopes of this one.

  3. Hello Marilyn, It looks like you did rather well with your York spend. Lots of lovely modern minis. I just love the pack of tablets. If you haven't thought of it already, a tip for the pretty pleater - run it under the tap and shake off the excess. The fabric will stay in place a bit easier. It's a shame we didn't bump into one another but never mind, there's always the next one.

    1. I honestly did keep an eye out for you, but you know how it is at a show - head is more down gawping at minis than it is up looking at folk. I also think the pills are my favourites this time round. Did you notice Jennifers of Walsall (and two others) were no shows. Hope you had a good time and found lots of goodies that we get to see soon. Marilyn

    1. Thank you. Nothing very special, except maybe my bear. One and a quarter inches top to toe, articulated and soft fur. Clever, clever maker.
