  Photo by Angela Lansbury .  What is the most useful thing in this sewing box? The first thing I need when I need to sew is number one. 1The self-threading needle. Or, 2 The metallic needle threader. But, before I start sewing, sometimes I need  3 A seam ripper but I can sometimes make do with 4 Small sharp pointed scissors. No point in having a needle with no cotton.  5 Black and white spools of cotton are most useful. Needed most often. 6 The other spools of colours of cotton thread are handy. 7 Smaller to pack on holiday, and useful for those hard to find colour,  the plait (Americans say braid) of mixed colour cottons, already cut to useful lengths. -ends- Please follow my blogs on blogspot  travelwithangelaLansbury dressofthedaywithangela Share links about posts on food and drkink with your friends.

 I saw a cute white baby one piece outfit. The overall effect was clean white, but with five-point, pale pink stars.

My grand-daughter is already at school. But the garment had a long white zip. Do you know the price of zips! I bought it, intending to cut out and eventually to re-use the zip. When I reached home, Before I could change my mind, I grabbed a pair of scissors. I planned to cut out the zip. I had a problem. The zip ran most of the way down one of the legs. Cutting Off Baby Garment Sleeves To make it easier to handle, I cut off the sleeves. I was left with two small tubes, wider at one end. I rested my arm on the table over one piece. It was the same width as my small wrist. Let's try to see if they fit. Adult Wrist Covers To my surprise, they fitted over my wrists.  A tight fit. But t...

White cap with sewn on straps. Photo by Angela Lansbury. Why did my cap need straps?  1 It kept falling off. When I looked down. Or when the wind blew. I worried about losing it, leaving it behind on a train. 2 It twisted sideways, looking odd in photos. What should I add? White ribbons? No. They would get dirty quickly, with all the handling.  I sewed pink straps on this white cap. What kind of straps could I add. I hunted in my stache of ribbons. I found what I wanted. The pink in the straps echoed the pink motif. The pink ribbon fabric is matt, matching the hat fabric's look.  The pink ribbon is narrow. But wide enough.  White cap with added red bow.

The White Cap (Baseball cap style) The white cap is from Daiso in Singapore. The Japanese chain. One of my favourite cut price chains. Light weight cap, easy to stow in a pocket. But...
