I finally got to finish this last night (dh having been in hospital for a week) and am quite pleased with it. I've made this pattern 3 times now, that's a record for me

Actually the first one was in an unfinished state hadn't done the hems but it shows the colour better than the second, finished photo.  Many thanks to Morgan who recommended the fabric - delighted with it!

Oooh. That's lovely FL.  :loveit:
I'm a total novice so forgive me if this is a stupid question. Would that pattern work in scuba fabric? I have some that I intended to use on a top but I think it might be too warm.

Sorry for the delay Wrenkins, I think it would work in scuba fabric, I previously made it in a heavier jacquard jersey and it was great, had loads of lovely compliments. I would definitely recommend it.
