Well by the wonder of magic and the use of a saucepan and six rolled up bits of paper,
the draw has been made and I will be pming you your chosen swapee and their address ...

Dont forget to attach a label to the back of your mini and send securely by the Summer Solstice, the 21st June !!

Have fun Girls and remember teasing pics and progress reports are welcomed!

Fabrics sourced and pattern picked. Off on holibobs again, so will construct it as soon as I get home. Should be finished in plenty of time for the Solstice.

I’ve nearly finished sewing the top together, hoping to get top finished before I too am away on holibobs.  Planning to take material and thread with me to embroider the label while away.
