I think this has been on before but it's the first time I've watched it.

It's great fun. :D

Amazing really coming from someone who can't sew for toffee and coming from someone who actually sewed a button on the wrong way round. :lol:

:lol: I never did finish the skirt I started making in school sewing lessons in 1983.
I’ve never watched this either but I’ve seen it mentioned online a few times this week so will be having a look :D

I can sew buttons on. Not bad for an 85 year old man.
Have a gadget which helps to thread a needle. Used to have a wooden "mushroom to help darn socks. It originally belonged to my mother.
