I used the PO to send toiles back and forward from London, and emails (her connection not good enough for Skype). My daughter was going on holiday so I had that deadline a well as the PR comp deadline. I hope I'm up to the wedding dress with help from my tutors - that is my project for next year's course. I'm concerned, though, as I've struggled today trying to make up Simplicity 1418, above - admittedly because I've made a change. I'm planning to do another toile for V1082 but will make it up properly; will l take to sewing bee on Tuesday evening (I don't usually go to that as I play bridge on a Tuesday evening but that's off for 3 weeks - all to the good as my other class doesn't start again until mid September). I'm using a wearable fabric so maybe wearable; I'm not sure that I should put the piping in that one, though, so I'll maybe just do the topstitching if it fits.

You worked very hard for them. I am also very impressed by the fitting of the bodice on your daughter's dress - you are going to have so much fun with the wedding dress. <br /><br />In terms of the UFOs I wouldn't worry about the pattern matching on the first skirt. Just finish it quickly and then get the V 1082 made up as I am sure it will be a great skirt for you and I am dying to see it!

Today was a gorgeous day - terrific for golf, in short sleeves. <br />I'm sorry to hear you feel created out - you must have a break to renew your creativity. Northumberland is beautiful...

I shall stick with what I have as I wouldn't have a clue about those things.<br />Weather remains miserable indeed - yes, yesterday was quite good but today we are back to rain and dark days.<br />We haven't even got to Northumberland this year as yet as we have builders doing a new porch for us and it just seems to be taking forever. <br />I keep working on and have too many orders at the moment. I just feel I am created out and in need of a change and a break.<br />Renewed congratulations!Joyce across the Pondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15265043471522130388noreply@blogger.com
