so last night i traced the pattern and managed then to just cut out the fabric and start a bit of sewing. there is no denying that i am useless at following instructions even when they are in my own language and so i have looked at the diagrams and done my own thing so far.
the fabric is very old and something i have had in my stash forever. i think it may have been from a dressmaking project that my mum worked on about 20 years ago?? anyway it is good that i have the selvedge to use as a hem as a detail. i am not quite sure what i'm going to use to bind the neckline yet. perhaps a neutral like tan in a cotton bias.
sewing continues tonight!
Lovely colours Kelly - really looking forward to the finished piece!
ReplyDeletethanks! shamefully i think they are perhaps more to my taste than elsa's...next version to include her favourite (make that dark) pink or gold. we have a daily discussion "what's colour do you prefer?" where i tease her and say i choose pink first! x
