In September, I made ……
.......a washbag for my sister! Again from Sew Hip Issue 11.
Pretty easy really, but the plastic covering was fiddly to
sew. You could use oil cloth (which I didn’t have to hand) and that would save
you the task of sewing the plastic covering to the fabric. However, both types
of fabric would have a similar problem – the plastic sort of sticks to the
foot/feed dogs. I used greaseproof paper over the plastic in the end (I think
the instructions in Sew Hip suggest this). But one of the clever ladies
at St Francis craft group (who was a professional seamstress in her working
life) came up with the brilliant idea of furniture polish. The sort that you
spray on. I didn’t get a chance to try it, but I would definitely try it next
time!
