I did manage to buy some cheapish fabric to have a go at that Newlook pattern. The man on the market was quite snotty when I said I wanted cheap cotton for a trial run. Apparently there is no cheap cotton. It's expensive. Period. I didn't mean I wanted it free for goodness sake - just so long as it was less than £8/yd. I only said anything at all because the print I had my eye on was some slippy synthetic when I got close enough to examine it. I figured it would be a bit tricky for a first attempt, especially when I haven't put in a zip for at least twenty years. Crikey, can I be that old?
On another subject entirely I will try to post up to date pictures of my hosta Patriot to give you all a good laugh. I don't want to deceive you with images of perfect leaves any longer than I have to!!!
That is theft of weekends, not any other kind. It sounded a bit odd!
