I've been away from the group (and from crafting in general) for a while as my husband got made redundant. Now he's back in work again and so am I, and a challenge like this is the perfect way to get things going.

So, I have a similar question to Morna - what can we class as junk? Is it anything that we no longer have a use for? Much of my fabric stash is recyled clothing but is it OK to use this?

Can't wait to get started. :O); ▶ Reply to This
