Nans sewing machine. OK its out of the cupboard, I vaguely remember how to thread it. Have to admit I got all emotional digging out all her bits and bobs, her washing machine and sewing machines were the two things she specifically wanted me to have after she went. In fact she gave them to me BEFORE she went.

SO anyway I was looking through the stuff and I came across soem shirring elastic ... um?

anyone know what it is used for? I was planning on having a go at those elasticated bodice type dresses, seems easy enough, could be biting off more than I can chew

Others I know are making pinnys so don't want to venture into those waters, mainly I was digging the old machine out to make headbands then saw the elastic and went hmmmmmmmm

so aside from my sentimental post ........ anyone know what SHirring Elastic is?
