Teaching an old dog new tricks
Learning how to change a clutch on a an old grey Massey was easier than learning to do a granny square and unfortunately there were no desperate farm apprentices nearby willing to do the hard bits for me but here it is! My first Granny square.
See! I can do girl stuff:) Thanks Phyllis for your immense patience
What am I doing today in my new sewing room?
Cutting and altering bag patterns for a new grocery tote I am working on. It pretty much looks like any other tote really, just a nick here, a tuck there to make it easier to sew in bulk.

Congratulations. I am yet to pick up that crochet hook, It just seems so foreign. Your square looks Brilliant
What? 99c ebay stuff? Did I miss something? Granny squares is just about all I can crochet frankly.
well done with the granny square.
I'm going to give it a go sometime.
"Meet me at Mikes" had a good instruction post going for a while there.
Just had a look at your sewing room. I am seriously impressed. All this and now crochet as well. Woman power, there is nothing like it is there? Elsie (in awe)
PS. What a great "Show & Tell" your room would make at Woodies. Elsie
PPS. Rick says, "Why can't you build a shed like Melanie," My answer? "Why? When I've got you to do it." Ha Ha. I know, I know. Not the right answer at all. (Hanging head in shame.) Elsie
Leonie Guld - I agree with it looking foreign. I am still yet to grasp it fully
Baino - Oh so you CAN do craft and whats more is that you can do a craft I cant lol.
Ribbon - I was so challenged that I couldnt even read easy tutorials. Thank goodness my boss took pity on me and taught me.
Elsie - Whilst I am beaming with pride at my shed, I am also relieved that none of the woodies will see it up close to see the many flaws. Especially in how I nailed the rafter thingies....good grief what a mess I made there. I must thank John once again for bringing us all of those unwanted wooden doors. I have done so many things with them and have an abundance of ideas for the 40 odd remaining ones. I just love Up-Cycling.
Yay for you...gotta love a granny square!
