We all hate dead links. From time to time sites do change their address, if you find a dead link please leave me a comment to let me know. I will attempt to repair the link or remove it.





Hi Billie
The Sew Hip link is defunct
Thanks for letting me know, I’ll see if I can find where they have gone. Unless you know where they are now?
best wishes
Billie
