Hello

[JoanE]

Hi everyone

I'm Jay from Kent. Lost my stressful accountancy job through redundancy, so took up sewing, and what a difference my life is now. Joined a soft furnishing course in September so a complete novice. This site has been invaluable, but can't offer any advice cos I don't know anything yet. Managed to make two pairs of curtains and lots of cushions which range from just passable to quite good actually, (self praise is no recommendation.

I'm sure I'll get lots of tips and maybe one day be able to pass on any hints and tips, but that's a big maybe.

Hi Joan,

Welcome to this site. You make an interesting comment 'range from just passable to quite good actually'. I think most of us are a very self-critical bunch on this forum, and if you are anything like the rest of us, if you think that something is 'quite good actually' it is probably much better than that!

In this case I do think self-praise is a good recommendation.

Hi Jay

Now that's a contrasting job change, got to say sewing is very relaxing and lovely to see things come together.

Welcome to the forum and best of luck with your new job!!
