I made this 2 years ago and ditched it! Yours is much much better. I'm quite small busted and couldn't work out how to reduce the amount of fabric that is gathered so it ended up looking very puffy below the gathers

Was meant to be looking after grandson this morning but he`s woken up with a slight temperature - extremely likely it`s because he`s teething but I guess we have to be sensible.  (Rather depressing to think that the slightest cold is going to send everyone into panic mode now)

I`m not too disappointed though as he is very tiring!  I might start making a new nightdress as I had a delivery from Higgs and Higgs yesterday.  Our new house is only 20 minutes from their store but they don`t appear to have re-opened to the public yet (probably just as well!)

@grannysyb if you have time to go into Chipping Campden there is a junk/china shop in the High Street that is definitely worth a visit - sorry can`t remember the name.  Looks fairly normal from the outside but there is a cellar which is crammed (and I mean crammed) full of china - you have to edge round it - there is even stuff hanging from the ceiling. It`s totally bonkers!  Actually, come to think of it, I wonder if they will be open.  There`s absolutely no way you could keep 2 metres away from anything down there.
The Robert Welch Studio Shop is also great - I`ve spent many a happy hour in there drooling over cutlery (sad, but true)

Stratford was my nearest town until May - parking has always been a problem and the town is looking very run down these days

I`ve always got on very well with Fiskars - lots of different sizes, not too expensive and you can get a sharpener too

@Bjay   and @Kenora   hopefully you aren`t both too stressed to be able to enjoy this   (make sure you read to the end):-

Where do old emojis go when noone wants them? Is there an emoji rehoming centre?

to be honest Bodge - having read some of your previous posts I was starting to wonder if you were using leatherette to make masks or a stoma bag cover.  Neither of which would be advisable.
