Would vinyl floor covering do it?  There are so many variations on the 'pretty' side you might be able to find something suitable? The underneath is very like a mouse mat and you would be able to buy a small bit of it cheap in most carpet type places.

Ooh well done, That looks really good 

Look what we did

Very proud little boy did all the sewing on this, I have already attached the trim on the neckline as it was probably a bit difficult for first sewing lesson!  It is his medieval style belt draped over his shoulder.
He is coming back tomorrow to do his chainmail (he has had an upset tummy so not at school until Friday as per regs on that kind of thing) and already told mummy he wants his own sewing machine 
Not bothered that it is now very unlikely that I will finish the first bits of my capsule wardrobe by Monday, they will get done but this was so much fun!

A bit late but I was there! I got stuck into the last part of my blouse and got one sleeve in when I noticed an issue with the back yoke. Now I don't know if it is just that i didn't attach it all properly or if there is a tear in the fabric for some reason but it has a definite rip on the yoke seam  So tomorrow I will undo the seam and reattach. I am just grateful I noticed before attaching the second sleeve or I would have undo the whole lot!
So annoying as it was so near the end I was hoping to finish today.

Oooooh it is finished  I remember reading about that last year!
It is stunningly beautiful isn't it.

@toileandtrouble Thank you so much for the offer but I am putting it over my adjustable dummy and throwing some padding up into those other spots (bra already attached to dummy so that does not need much attention).
The old dummy is broken and I can't open up some parts of it in particular the waist, it does appear that Dumbme is going to work well as all it will need is a bit of padding for shaping but does fit in most places.
I was torn between doing this and buying a new form and doing the bra bit, but I really want to lose weight and feel that maybe looking at the 'real' me shape will spur me on a bit too 

@Ohsewsimple I will admit I am concerned that OH might just stick some duct tape on my mouth and leave me there for a bit of peace and quiet 
@b15erk OH is already quietly panicking about doing this in the first place, but I will get a pic for you, even if it is the end result and not me trussed up like something from a "special" kind of movie
