I live really close to a ridiculously big fabric shop, so the only time I’ve bought coat weight wool has been from there, but have a look at Minerva Craft online and look for coat wool, heavy wool or boiled wool. They can send samples if you call. I’ve never bought fabric from them but have bought other things and they are great.



Ta, i'll take a look. Ideally I need to find a local market that does remnants, but until then online it is!

I've bought a frock coat pattern that i'm planning to modify a bit, as I don't fancy making my own pattern from scratch. I did that for the jacket in pictures and it doesn't quite fit right, i'm not sure my work partner got my measurements as precise as necessary :) Nothing to do with my block creating or sewing, obviously...

Remnant Kings are another place to check out online with good prices, though I think their stock just comes in and out randomly so you have to be looking at the right time.

We need a forum trip to Aberkhan.

That got sold a long time ago :) I only have one car these days, a Subaru Outback 3.0Rn. It's worth very little, quick, terrible for the environment and costs a fortune in petrol, so pretty much the perfect car.

Barging in taking someone's creation, changing it slightly and taking all the credit? Sounds more capitalist to me. :D

If I were to have been by the sea today, and taken a photo, Google might have stylised it like this. Which is pretty cool.

Title.

But also, on Windows Vista when I tried a few times and it said 'nah, you don't need to do it, fragmentation is under 10%'.

So probably on Windows 98SE.

I don't know about that, but the last time I fragmented a hard drive was when I shot one repeatedly with a .22LR rifle ;)

He can read his name. D’oh!! We should have foreseen this and taught him a different name.
