However, when we moved to Lincolnshire and a bigger home I finally solved my problem and it was heaven..................then we packed up and moved abroad; early retirement. So now, yes you have guessed I complain about crawling on the floor or balancing fabric etc when cutting out and sigh about the space I did have for 4 years.......... I will look into the superboard and see if there is anyway I can get it over to me in Turkey, or perhaps I could get my carpenter friend to knock something suitable up. Oh, also agree about your comments that some people expect you to make beautiful clothes for them and work as a labour of love. That poor lady doing all that work for 50p an hour........................makes me want to weep. Hi there Sara,

Lots and lots of electronic design, and mechanical design and systems design, but only very rarely do we actually assemble anything ourselves! The same could be said of my degree.
