Then sometimes I wake up in the morning to the voice of a fabric calling me and insisting it wants to be xxx. And it's always right.

Or better yet a paper doll. Sometimes a lady has got to get the odd stuff out of her sewing system. Then she can settle down.<br /><br />Probably you really need to make a new COAT. No, no, stop throwing things at me. Then you could alternate the silver polar book look.<br /><br />Yes that is inspired by the fact that I have a lovely length of wool for a coat (yes I've chosen the pattern too) and no, I'm not going to say how long it has been yelling at me from that cupboard.L.R.

That gives me a creative break from sewing. When I was in a refashioning mode I kept dreaming that I was cutting up women's skirts to make skirts for my daughter.

And now I'm on the internet.

(And I can't even use wool, because it makes me break out in hives!) Oh well...hopefully I'll manage to make myself something great anyway.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09913795373618902575noreply@blogger.com
