I'm sure there is a general saving money thread but I can't find it. I don't know that one saves anything by making one's own clothes these days, patterns are so expensive. I don't intend to buy any new ones at my time of life. I was going to cut out a circle skirt today but I may have miscalculated the amount of material I need. I can always make a half-circle skirt but will have to rejig the waistline. I'll leave it till tomorrow now because I'd rather work by natural daylight than artificial light. My Mum died more than 30 years ago and thinking about things I took to the charity shop, there was an odd (to me) thing that I didn't really know the purpose of. I know now that it was a mini ironing board so I could probably have used it for ironing jacket sleeves had I known its purpose. Sewing, knitting and crochet - I can do them but I'm a dabbler not an expert and I can go some while without doing anything. If anyone still darns their socks (I do sometimes) apparently you can use a light bulb as an improvised darning mushroom. As for earnings I've a few dribs and drabs on GPT and survey sites but am under the amount where I can cash out.

I'm about to start going to a sewing group which concentrates on remaking what you already have - it's about a 20 minute bus ride away from me in Camberwell, so I'm already pondeing (without even having been yet!) setting something up closer to home. Might there be something near you?

ED, I sometimes look at Colleen G Lea's 'Fashion Sewing Blog TV'. She's usually repurposing things she's got from charity shops etc. Should have said "dabbler but not an expert". My laptop cursor jumps sometimes. I do have a USB mouse - I'll have to plug it in. There's a little haberdashery etc shop in town. The lady there sometimes runs classes though I don't know if she does recycling. There are some patterns I have already - sometimes you can vary them slightly and come up with something a little different.

Off-topic but I managed to cut the skirt out yesterday. I prefer to work on such projects by daylight so postponed the next stage till today but this morning is very dismal and overcast!!!! I'm going to see if I can cash out any of the odds and s*ds I have on sundry survey sites (which definitely aren't megabucks) prior to Xmas.

I should get there with a few days of Data Annotation now. Teaching this morning was theoretically it for the year! I've turned down a lot of gigs over Christmas and I'm currently not regretting it.
