It's been a nearly two weeks, because there is only one guy that is visiting ladies, to fix brother machines in the UK. I could have sent it back to the factory by currier but I did not want to, so some of it is my fault.

Well well aren`t you clever. Is that a margarine container I can see? How do you do this???? They look great, and yes we can do nice things with an ordinary machine....lol

I draw a circle of the base on the red, roll the bucket around the length join the inside. then I do the outside. Wadding around the outside sew it to the inside. I did button holes to thread the handles through. Lastly I cover the bottom with another circle and sew by hand.
There is this done with a bucket, from the seaside on an embroidery site sewswell designs. They did easter buckets.

Very attractive.
