I told mum about you likng the soap nuts and she asked me where you bought them so I tracked back

you ordered them online?
do you know they're possible to buy in Malmö? (I mean, do you know and discarded the option, if not... well now you do XD)

It'll look good when finished, though. ;-) And I'm awfully grateful for your help!

I might have time to go cloth hunting on Thursday... Sewing evening?
