It's really addictive, even if I dont need to do anything on it, I find myself with it in my hand anyway!<br /><br />I hope you are right about the coat! Need to get moving with it though.

With my particular fabric, I will need to do pattern matching, which is even scarier (and worse, I didn't think to buy a bit extra, just in case!). I'm sure you will be fine with your fabric, just choose something simple, like a solid, or a pattern that doesn't need matching - you dont need that extra stress when starting out!Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06525020848581000170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8209080131494479770.post-37098362904139778892013-10-29T12:28:51.210+00:002013-10-29T12:28:51.210+00:00LOVE your hair!

I can't begin to imagine how one would successfully carve a turnip....<br />Good luck with your coat!

The first iPad I bought (so long ago it didn't even have a camera) was with award money from work. I used it every day and just last month replaced it with a new one. I know you're going to love yours. I haven't gotten any sewing in this past week and am a bit cranky about that. Good luck with your coat - I'm sure it will come out beautifully.Sharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08908776705406030872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8209080131494479770.post-77854944633469009902013-10-27T23:25:31.473+00:002013-10-27T23:25:31.473+00:00Turnip lanterns?

I so know what your talking about re: cutting into nice fabric. Most of my makes are made from old curtains! I've bought lovely fabric and it's washed, ironed and ready to go but I'm just so nervous of ruining it- I need to practice my sewing some more first, though I am getting a lot better. Lovely hair cut BTW. LouiseAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
