Scarf

I couldn't decide this morning whether to pop over to Billericay and trawl the charity shops or whether to stay home and get the sewing machine out.  The thought of spending £4.40 on bus fare (for a 15 minute journey each way - shockingly expensive) made me think twice and I knew I'd made the right decision when the rain started at 10.00 am - just when I would have been walking along the High Street.  So out came the sewing machine and I got to work on one of the fabric scarves.

It all went together pretty well and I'm pleased with how it turned out.  In fact, the most difficult part was trying to get a decent photo.  At first I thought it might have been too short but having checked the sizes of the Cath Kidston scarves online, I found mine was considerably longer - approx. 60 inches long.

I was so pleased with my achievement that I sewed up another one this afternoon.  That one didn't go quite as well as the greeny tweed fabric was not quite long enough so this one has ended up a tad shorter.  The photos of that one will have to wait until tomorrow when we've got a bit of sunshine - fingers crossed!

Hello there,

I work on the Dave Monk programme at BBC Essex. I wondered if you could give me a call on 01245 616045 about how thrifty you are. We are looking at doing some features about how people are trying to cut back on their outgoings at the moment and it sounds like you know a thing or two about that.

Best wishes

Leona
