Subject: RE: Autumnal clearing out and fitness 2014
The fabric I have used for the cloak surfaced when getting all the fabric together - I tend to make things which would be out of fashion in any century.

I think it needs a couple of pleats on the shoulders.

Other things which have surfaced recently were two sets of hooks for kitchen utensils, so I have fixed them onto the wall and the edge of a set of shelves, so I now have 18 hooks rather than only 6 - they were immediately filled up. I drilled a hole in the handle of a spatula, so as to be able to hang it. We have a set of drill bits ranging in size from tiny to oh wow, so there are few jobs we don't have a drill to fit. Also several drills from dainty to this will fix it, and a set of disc cutters. My husband has rebuilt the conservatory, the front porch, boarded and lined the roof space, fitted a TV antenna large enough to give us a good signal and done numerous jobs around the house over the years. We tend to do things ourselves. I got my very own electric drill as a 21st birthday present and could not see anything at all strange in that.
