*Puts hand up*

Please, Miss, I've finished Miss  0_0

Do I just put pics and a bit of waffle interesting information about it in one post on here?

2072
That looks interesting, Fajita - how have they done that?  Is it strips of fabric, or one piece with cuts?  Or??

2073
Yes, I loved that as well  :)  I have an embellishing/felting machine which I have yet to actually use - I once saw something where it looked like chiffon had been attached to a tweed material and I reckon it was using one of these machines, so I want to experiment with fabrics to see if I can make the sort of effect of that pocket.

I like this... she uses a lot of Tilton patterns

I really shouldn't have looked at that - I now have £45 worth of patterns sitting in my basket at Jaycotts, but really ought to wait for a Vogue sale - wonder how long it is til the next one?

I definitely couldn't do hobble, so I'll pass on that pattern.

I guess white tennis shoes and canvas shoes work ok, but my "trainers" are really Salmon walking shoes, so definitely don't go with a frock.

Another fabulous fabric there, Manuela, I'm very envious of all the lovely ones you get.

That's super  :)

The only thing that puts me off making that pattern is I don't wear dresses!  You can't really wear trainers with dresses can you, and I don't wear anything else (apart from very supportive sporty looking Salomon flip flops) as I have such delicate and sensitive feet. #nohardskinhere

I couldn't be doing with being "hobbled" - surely it would have that effect as the crotch is somewhere below the knees?

M7793 - sorry, but I had to chuckle at the combination of the model used and the "custom cup sizes" - jolly good thing!

With apologies to those with very cuddly chests - I'm only jealous really  0_0

Beautifully fresh Bodgy, what are you making?
A top of some sort  :D

I also ordered a metre each of beige and grey with the vague thought of combining them - that pic of a Chanel frock inspired me, but no proper plans for it yet.

2080
I've just ordered some of this - floral or not floral??  Doesn't matter if it doesn't count  :)

2081
Well if it's good enough for Chanel



I really, really love the colours of this one - I never seem to have co-ordinating colours though...

2082
So... floral... does it have to be "in yer face" flowers, or can subtle be used?  Ok, maybe it's not subtle, but it's subtley floral...

2083
I was looking forward to this but i don't quilt and any scrap less than a fat quarter tend to go into the charity bag for shredding. All my scraps left over from other projects tend to be at least 1/2 metre due to the fact you often have to buy fabric in full metres when you need less. So i will have to pass up on this.
I think I'm the same, anything less than 1/2 a yard doesn't get kept - but I've not had chance to look yet.

2084
I'm open for negotiations when it comes to scrappy scraps leftover from garment making. post a picture with a ruler next to it and we'll see  :)
Thank you  :)

When (and indeed if!) I get round to it, I'll post for you to judge.

2085
Hmm, will have to go and measure my scraps, I think my idea of scraps is a lot bigger than yours!  I only keep them if they are a useful size , but not enough for a whole garment.
