The bad is that I finished far too late (11.30am) to get to the meet up. It was from 11am and takes over an hour to get to :-(. Plus I couldn't find

Looks awesome! Pity you missed the meet-up though

yeah, a bit over ambitious and super procrastinatory of me. I had to buy more fabric for interlining the front on saturday ... it was preshrunk cut & sewn that afternoon!

I is sorry baby!!!! Please to be giving the forgiveness!!!! I'll make sure you have my mobile number for future reference...promise...
I missed not having you there, but I'll make sure that there will be another meetup as soon as my life gets sort of organised. In the process of looking for a place the other side of that really big hill known as the Blue Mountains.

I'm loving the lobster polonaise...you so would have heads turn there today! There was only 4 of us, but we took photos and ate and took more photos (which will be up a.s.a.p) then called it a day at about 1pm, because my Pixie wasn't feeling well.

Ok...stop prodding me with the parasol!!!! Here is my mobile number 0413499718...sheesh, you know that thing is sharp, don't you???? *fits of hysterical laughter!*

I think I'd turn heads anywhere in a lobster polonaise! I was so disappointed that I filed your card somewhere without adding your # to my mobile.

Glad it went well & am looking forward to mobiles.

And yes I have a parasol to go with. it's 1930s but it's just right!

Eee! How cute! Sorry that it didn't get done in time, though. *hugs*

It got my sewing mojo back, which was another bonus!

I'm so relieved that itworked out ... and that I had just enough fabric to cut it out, even with the strongly 1 way directional fabric!

I keep thinking that I have replied to your posts (and then find out perhaps I have not.....)
....anyway what I thought I had said....
WOW - that is just amazing material (of course, mojo would arrive while handling that!) - sorry that you didn't quite make it in time (always a downer...) - however it is ready now for a maiden appearance (at a later date - to be advised) and thanks for posting the piccy now so we didn't have to wait....

I didn't remember buying such a long length of this fabric, but it was perfect when I scanned my stash for fabric to use. I did a mini freak out when I realised that it was so narrow, cos I had to juggle pattern pieces around until I found a way to make them all fit.

Can't wait for it to get a maiden voyage somewhere!
