Wow – love those fabrics, especially the one with the little people on 🙂
No problem Masterclock, I will be the only one using the electric one – public will use handcranks!
Great to hear what everyone is doing. I just mentioned on another forum page what I am doing on Saturday 2-4pm – a morsbags ‘make or take a bag’ workshop at my new shop space (exciting!) in The Vintage China Boutique, Francis St in Leicester. I have met up with Offcuts today and collected 30 lovely Offcuts 2 vintage bags and I will be making some too. Don’t know how many people we will get making bags on the day but hoping to get some new interest in morsbags. It may even become a regular event and my friend Caroline who rents the shop has some exciting plans for the future so watch this space…..
I am also excited because I have acquired 2 authentic vintage Singer 66K electric machines to use at the shop – one from Freecycle, one from a local auction for £20 – which I spent last weekend cleaning up and getting running. I traced their history online using the serial numbers and by pure coincidence they were both made in 1930, one in May and one in December. They both work like a dream, can’t believe how smoothly they run and how beautiful the stitches are! Not bad for 84 year olds 🙂
Pics to follow after Saturday….. Have fun everybody x

Sazzie – I love your bags, and the hooks they are hanging on. Gorgeous!
Well done everybody for your sterling work. Sorry I didn’t make any bags over the big weekend but I am going to join in with the giveaway on Saturday by holding a morsbags workshop and giveaway in my new SHOP! Yes, exciting news – I am renting space in my friend Caroline’s vintage shop on Francis Street in Leicester, selling my handmade and vintage goodies! I also work there a couple of afternoons a week. We have been giving morsbags away since the shop opened in September but this will be the first ‘make or take a bag’ event. I have collected a nice selection of Offcuts 2 bags to give away and I will be making some more vintage style bags. Will take pics and post them after the event 🙂
Huzzah! Thanks Offcuts for the Flickr magic!!
Brilliant – love the name!
Huzzah! I have managed to edit my profile and upload a pic. I have also re-instated the user nickname Waley although my pod is still Whetstone Whales. Fantastic 🙂
I am having problems editing my Forum profile! Keep getting the ‘OOps’ message too. Any ideas?! 🙂
