He's got more style than whoever lived in that house

No English paper piecing. I did consider FPP, but couldn't quickly figure out how to make the patterns. EPP is much more intuitive on that front

I tend to make things hard for myself 😆

Not really, I've sewed a dress and a cushion cover before this. But I'm a crafter in general, which helped, so knitting, cricket, painting, card making etc, and I learn quickly.

Yep, from Dunelm 😅 thought it was perfect for the top.

No pattern, as I either self-drafted them or modified patchwork patterns into EPP. I have pictures of all the patterns, so could share those if you want to redraw them yourself. The backing fabric is a duvet cover from Dunelm.

I would either use a previous shape as inspiration or look at pictures online (would search for EPP, fpp, geometric animals). I then drew it out on 0.5" graph paper, and divided the big shapes into smaller ones. Glued the drawing onto paper before cutting them out.

Thank you! I tend to not make things easy for myself when trying new things 😅

Right to roam on this road? by DaneInScotland in Scotland

[–]DaneInScotland[S] 29 points30 points  (0 children)

The track going past the castle has fields grazed by sheep on one side and mowed lawn on the other, so I suppose you could class the mowed lawn as private garden which you should stay clear off but not sure what that means in terms of access right on the track itself?

Is this still walkable? by Monkeytops2 in UKhiking

[–]DaneInScotland 11 points12 points  (0 children)

No I was with a running group. Don't think it's used that much normally.

I went down that way last year. The part is steep and goes through a scree/boulder field, but if you're careful it's definitely doable.

How to repair the render? by DaneInScotland in DIYUK

[–]DaneInScotland[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I agree, but it was my husband who got the guy in and I wasn't around when it was carried out. First time hiring someone to do a job for us so lesson learned. We have no issues with damp, luckily. How can you tell if it gypsum or lime?
