Actually, when I dug it out, I remembered why I bought it! I hope to cut something out soon, once I have also located the fabric. If it went away, it's almost guaranteed to be then that I will find the time to do it.
It is a valid point though, we are all unknown people on the internet, it's just that this forum feels so homelike and safe. I'm pretty sure that just about everyone here is straightforward, they are so helpful and generous with advice and time. If anyone is lurking on here hoping to steal people's patterns, they must be jolly patient. Let me know if you want it doing. Did you just want the straight skirt?
