@Bfordham Hi. It's amazing that you want to get your child a sewing machine! If you think she will stick with it, maybe it's worth spending a bit more. A sewing machine is something that will serve you for years. It's worth going into a local sewing machine shop and having a word with them. That way you will also find tech support for the machine.

A #sewing question.

I want to make some oven gloves for Xmas presents. Do I have to use special thermo insulation or is it ok to use wadding and polar fleece. Obviously, I want the gloves to be usable

@valhalla Now, that sounds interesting. I slept on top of a bed over made from bamboo fibers.

@valhalla sounds like a solution

It was very hot last night and I couldn't sleep for a while. The last thought before falling asleep: someone could make a lot of money by inventing a kind of electric blanket that stayed cool, just like a pillow that you have just turned over.

@valhalla I am in the process of making something out of some crazy fabric, so yes.

I think I have the beginning of one: you know how Coco Chanel had a link to nazis? Well, she was really into jersey! Check it out, it's all true!

Are there any conspiracy theories about stretchy fabrics? They should definitely exist and I am prepared to believe in them.

@BenitaSkinner I wonder if it had an elastic effect or was it purely decorative.
