I do have a sewing machine Island, but I prefer to hand hem as it makes it invisible. I can remember our sewing teacher at school. If you could see a stitch on the outside of the fabric, you had to unpick it and start again. It must have stuck.

The jeans were not mine Belle, but Beloved's from Gap. Now you have to order everything online, it is pot-luck.

I too noticed the M&S sizing has gone a bit haywrie. I used to be a Regular, now I am a Short. I know you shrink a bit when you age, but this is silly! :-D :-D :-D :-D ;-)

Afternoon All. :-D <3

No Belle, I am not Susie, sewing shirts for sailors either. :-D :-D ;-)

I was taking up jeans, and hemming up curtains. There does not look much material when they are hanging up, but crikey, I was swamped by them! Next time I will just use scissors and cut the ends off. :-D :-D
