actually, Marmalade sounds like a pretty good name, and perfectly orangey too ;) :D ^ the hoodie complete with cord (still need to get a pic of it being worn :P). I could've done with the eyelets being a little closer to the neckline I think, but other than that, it works really well (and I'm pleased I got the darn thing to cross over properly!) :D

I love the starry sparkly frame / foreground on your HA-less outfit today, that looks fantastic! :D

I reckon you could do it nods I mean a patronus is individual to each wizard (or witch), right? So it wouldn't need to look anatomically perfect (although probably for CW purposes it'd have to be pretty darn close) ;)

yay I helped hehe Will Paddy and Niamh be coming the the GH rp? ooh the hoodie looks perfect. I love how you've matched Nimah's sweater to the hoodie colour XD thanks wasn't feeling like bothering haha so this is what I came up with

nods I didn't get a chance to look at the RP yesterday, but I'm hoping to drag both of them along ;) laughs that was completely unintentional :P but I'm pleased that I finally got the hoodie completed :D :D It looks stunning, especially for a 'not really feeling bothered' day ;)

cool xD I'll bring more in soon-ish. I only have Zoe there now. hahaha well it worked ;) I'm glad you did and it turned out so well! aww thanks :D I love the morning cup look today :D those trousers work surprisingly well with the bg

:nods: Bathrooms in flats tends to be on the smaller side, evne tho there are always exceptions to that rule. :) I can def. live with shower only, bahttub would be such a nice perk tho. :)

Sorry about the fish you lost. :hugs: Congrats on the new ones tho! :) Just another lazy day here. Gonna play some more paper jam bros I suppose. :)

I've been trying to work on the 1/4 zip fleece top - it was all going really well until my machine decided it didn't like the combination of fleece, fleece seam allowance, zipper, jersey and jersey seam allowance.... the stitches are absolutely miniscule (set to the longest stretch stitch) so that's going to be a pain in the rear to unpick :K Thanks :D I'm hoping to get a pic of it being worn later ;) And Niamh says thank you - I wanted to pick some plain golden trousers for her to wear, but she insisted on these ones :P She's obivously more stylish than I am! :P

I'm sure some of the shower rooms were really designed just as cupboards! :P At least having a bath tub isn't a necessity though, as that sounds like it might restrict your choice quite a lot!

have fun. not so much, they died :(

ugh sounds like a nightmare :( yes, she's a diva.

I've asked on two different sewing forums, and the answer seems to be that the fabric is too thick for my machine. So far the only way around it sounds like hand sewing the zip into place o.O I have no idea how I managed to create a diva character - it certainly wasn't intentional! :P

Are some images randomly not loading on forums for you (or is this still down to my computer playing silly fools??)

put in a heavier needle? haha well she had other plans :P Nope working fine.

I changed to almost the heaviest needle I had, but the main trouble is that the fabric isn't feeding through as it should do (it just feeds a tiny bit through with each stitch). Maybe it's just the gremlins....

and speaking of gremlins, that programme seems to be working fine now (not eating all my computer memory), and all the images are loading properly o.O I'm sure the sewing machine & computer have a mind of their own today!

could you pull it from the other end?

o.0 I think you're right!

Aww, Zoe looks so cute in her Ravenclaw jacket! I love the owls and the sparkles. :D I am sure you will come up with something great for the fabric. ;)

I might have to give it a try. :-) I love Niamh's outfit today, that backdrop is so pretty! The cocoa matches it really well, too. :D

I was using a stretch stitch (two forwards, one back), but even with trying to gently pull it from the back, it still didn't seem to want to feed through properly o.O I've had one other suggestion to try tissue paper under the base and on top, to try and encourage it to feed through right (never tried that before, so that'll be an experience!).... I'm hoping Mum will give me a hand with unpicking those stitches, but I'll test out these ideas on a scrap piece of fleece first, rather than risking messing up my top completely! 😊

Zoe looks great today! :D hands her some spare owl treats

That's a fantastic outfit you've got today :D and brilliant use of that dotty bookmark too! :D I've never managed to get that one to look good :P Thanks :D I thought I'd let her have some fun after torturing her in Herbology ;)

Thanks! :D I think this is the first time I have ever used it, because like you said, it is difficult to work with. It has been hanging out in my wardrobe forever! Haha, I am sure she appreciates that. ;)

it looks absolutely perfect, especially with the other purpley lilac colours :D

thank you :D I got it last night with lots of crazy questing to afford it haha. speaking sparkles Keet's looking pretty in lavender/lilac. I love the cutout and well everything :) aww thanks. lol we'll see :D

sounds worth trying. hope you can sort it out <3 thanks :D I had to try out the ravenclaw jacket. I raised enough for it so now will work on the hair haha. Niamh looks lovely today. that jacket goes really well with the new bg :D

One would almost think that. :P Some flats are like 20 square km. I think that would have driven me nuts in the long run. lol

Aww, sorry to hear that. >_< Hope you will be able to work out what is wrong with their tank.

but that's just it, nothing is wrong o.0

if all else fails, it looks like the only other option is to hand sew the zip in place, using 1/8" size stitches o.O It looked amazing! :D And today's safari-style look is equally great! :D Thanks :D I couldn't resist trying to pick some of the colours out from the background :D

yeah, I think that kind of size would begin to feel really claustrophobic after a while!

That sounds very frustrating, not knowing why its not working out. >_<

I have lived in tiny flats before, but yup. I dont want to live in a shoebox if I can help it. :P Plus, I have a lot of stuff, and need storage space. lol
