Miss Sis your blouse is a beautiful shade of rose, I've never thought of using a dress pattern for a blouse, will definitely try this myself.
Kamikat love the peep hole neck and mini cherry fabric on your blouse.
Finished this caplet this evening, hopefully get to wear it before the British...
Thanks Lady Day, Kamikat, Shirin, Sugarkitten & Miss Sis for all your comments, it means a lot. They were the first thing I saw as I went into the shop, couldn't believe my luck.
Sugarkitten love your bonnet dryer, I stupidly passed one up on the carboot sale last Sunday, forgot to go back and...

I'm so pleased with my new glasses I purchased today from TKMaxx £4.99 (RRP£125.00), what a bargain, going to get Dead Men's Spex to put some lenses in for me, he does a great job. Can't decide if to just get clear prescription lenses or sunglass lenses put in, what do you think?
I made this handbag over the Easter Weekend, can't wait to use it on a beautiful sunny day.
It was hard to decide which fabric was going to be on the outside as I love both fabrics, I still have enough to make another one, so I could do the inside fabric on the outside.
