Still no further clues on the The Mystery Box - my two main suspects have been eliminated, leaving me almost certain that it's someone I don't know :S
I'm starting work on the V&A free download pattern, (
Linkity Link!) which I intend to make in navy blue cotton, with white trim for a semi-nautical sort of look. I blew an appalling amount of money at the drapers today, but the feeling of hugging a huge brown paper bag filled with enough fabric to keep me sewing until next payday is worth the guilt!
I also picked up some navy blue stretch cotton to make the Vogue Galaxy dress I mentioned a few posts back - I made a sort-of-wearable mock up in blue polka dot, which I would love to share pictures of, but my camera is broken!! *sob* I've got so many finished projects that I want to show off, and the stupid battery door won't stay closed. Blame my Mister, he dropped it. Booo.
Right, my V&A Horrockses pattern had finished printing, so for the next 3 hours I'll be bent over the coffee table covered in sticky-tape trying to assemble it, then scale it to my measurements. HURRAH!
