All quiet on the western front I’m afraid chaps – I have been slowly but surely working on my muslin for the V1467 peacoat sewalong and hopefully I’ll be ready to fit the first muslin on Sunday!
In the meantime, I wanted to share a useful tip that I have been using for years, and its about that sewing box staple, carbon pap
er! (Don’t all cheer at once…)
It’s the simplest thing in the world – to make your carbon paper last longer, stick it to a piece of card!… A little anti-climatic, but honestly it’s such a good tip – your paper lasts longer, it’s really simple to do and it’s easy to store as it’s flat! I use thin card and what ever tape is lying around. Once the paper has been used beyond recognition, just carefully cut away the old and replace with the new!

Fab idea! Thanks for sharing 😃

Ace idea. Prevents your fingers going blue too if you have a border.
