Oh and another thing

As if that last post wasn't long enough...

I did actually use the sewing machine myself - to make giant muslins for swaddling! Saw these Big Muz ones online and the even posher Aden and Anais, and decided it couldn't be that hard! So I got some muslin (5 metres for £7.50) and mum showed me how to set up the sewing machine and turn a hem, and after one supervised run, I was off... 4 giant swaddling muslins for that bargain price (plus a bit left over that DH will use in the kitchen...)! Needless to say, very proud of my new sewing prowess!
