That is fantastic Bumperlicioso!

I was only wondering this morning how you'd got on.

I feel quite guilty for doubting your sewing abilities now .

That's brilliant Bumperlicioso!

Tonight is the first 'Stitch and Bitch' club that my sisters and I are starting - think this could be one to suggest!

Yep, just cheap garden canes. The ones in the book were a bit thicker but I had a look at dowling and it was hideously expensive.

Well done, thats great.

Are they just garden cane thingymebobs for the poles. Might have to have to get DS1 to have a go at one in the holidays, hes been keen to have a go on the sewing machine, tis would be ideal for a boy, they tend not to want to make little bags.

Um, technical hitch - it is now I promise!

No it isn't

Looking foward to seeing it, it sounds fantastic.

Well, it's finished and should be on my profile now...

Wow! It sounds as if you've done a really good job of it -yes, please post a photo when its finished. I might be tempted to make one too

Oh ye of little faith...my tee pee is coming along nicely actually! All fingers still in tact, if a little holey from the pins!

It's a bit rough and ready but I feel it has character . I've sewn the main body together, just need to edge the front flaps, I think I am going to use ribbon to edge them to save having to hem them. It looks pretty good. I will post a pic when I am done. Thanks for the tips, I feel this has opened a new door in crafting for me and I shall no doubt be back to request the benefit of your experience.

She hasn't been back to this thread today -I'm a bit worried shes sewn herself to the teepee and machine
