It's an ikea throw backing, cut out shapes held in place by cover shiny material and decorative stitching.

I should have sewn the shapes down individually. Maybe I'll do that next time I'm in the mood to be creative.

My button box is the same as Francesca's.

 It is barely a third full, if that.

Lovely!

I'm hoping to make a couple of baby mats this Easter break, so keeping an eye out for things like that to inspire me. Love your chicks. Own design?

What a lovely quilt.

 The Pauline Ineson Heirloom book was my first book purchase after I bought my machine. I intend to have a go one of these days. I think the only  thing I've done from it is a cylinder type pillow, which explored lots of decorative stitches on my machine.

Is your quilt silk?

For online jigsaws try the Magic Puzzle ap.

Sooooo, I have taken on board DFs suggestions for pattern sizing, had a read and view of several of Morgan's informative posts, looked in my sewing books, and now know how little I know about what I am doing.

Regardless .... I've removed the long body darts which gave me the space in the belly I needed.

And I've increased the length of the bust darts to point to my own measurements ( to which dolly and I differ, I'm not as perky as she).

Presumably I now deconstruct my garment and redraw my measurements on the pattern?  More research here I come.

Mine all appear in my junk folder.

Well done completing the jobs. Love the embroideries.
