I've only ever done one before and that was at school in the skirt that took me two years to make. One teacher and twenty pupils, I just never could hold my hand up higher than the rest for help and wasn't vocal enough to be heard. Still baby steps, I have mastered the tissue covers, so maybe I could now consider moving onto something easy like a simple tunic top. Look forward to seeing your finished skirt and great that you now have somewhere that you can leave your stuff out!!KraftyKarenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12414480551327007813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5563954452896474448.post-7256523789991220812015-04-23T09:42:50.474+01:002015-04-23T09:42:50.474+01:00Oh lordy I do HATE zips.
