      Welcome and thank you so much! 😊 I used the ‘Ultimate Trousers’ pattern by Sew Over It but added a couple of inches to the rise and as I used stretch fabric I omitted the zipper. I made a toile first. It’s a really easy pattern to follow!

      If you’re still struggling then you might prefer to buy a tube turning tool. It looks like a chopstick with a plastic cover. They are great and there’s lots of fantastic tutorials here on UA-cam 😊

    🎁 Create your own scrappy Christmas cards by following the steps below: 1. Cut out a triangle shape for your tree and a bow shape for the top of the tree 🎄🎀 2. Take off the entire sewing foot. 3. Drop the feed dogs. 4. Sew around the edge of the triangle twice to create your tree. 5. Glue the bow to the top of the triangle. 6. Sew around the edge of the bow twice and then sew a small circle in the middle.
