Actually I can't really claim to be 'making' it since it is a skirt kit from Liberty - it has an elasticated/shirred waist and I just need to sew up the side. Going to do it by hand tho cos it will be quicker than getting the machine out and working out how to use it
I MIGHT make both of them but the one I'm doing first is the purple/green/white one. I'd better press them too

'scuse me. Did you really say at 1:10 you were going to do this and at 1:46 you had finished
Hand or machine sewing I'd still be threading the needle and would probably be using bad lnguage by now

I know - it took no time at all to do them both Pressed now and here's the pics
Not sure about the red/green one made up - it looks a bit frumpy I think it LOOKS like it's been sitting in my cupboard for 15 years!!!! (which it as of course LOL!!) Maybe better as cushion covers  _________________ Ali xxx |

They are lovely, i think the red would look lovely with a plain vest top and a lightweight cardi... don't think frumpy and 15 years old, think RETRO baby!  _________________
