I meant to ask if you want some zips?... all colours, all sizes, not all small but they are only 10p each. I cut them and zig zag the ends before cutting to size. Lady in the shop always gets fed up counting and last time when I got some for my daughter she gave me 42 and said to just give her £3!!!

I've made my little purse this afternoon, not perfect but it is ok. I was wondering what to do with my bowtie block, a pot holder is a good idea.
Great that the dogs can have some peace again!
It was great to see you and spend time, even if we were all too busy sewing to do much chatting!
Glad that you have some peace and quiet again. The purses look lovely.
So good you have peace and quiet again, Sam will be happy!! Your little purses are lovely...great idea. Looking forward to the next one.
I made 4 little purses on Friday afternoon, even made a small adaption of a wrist strap.
I think they would have sold, but along with some other stuff I forgot to take them! !!
