Revisiting possible designs for cutting on the bias .....................
So why did I mark out, stitch and start cutting the middle square on the straight (not sure what's happened to the pistachio green in this pic)?
Will be interesting to see how I rescue it! My excuse is that I was distracted by somebody in the kitchen making these ...............
From the Hummingbird Bakery Cookbook bought from here using a free delivery voucher found here . I have to say that it's a lovely book.
And on another positive note (at least for the moment) ............. the toile I made for my husband's shirt using McCalls pattern 8409 seems to fit ok ............ well after I lopped 4" off the width. The pattern comes up big ......... well not just big but huge so have gone one size smaller than comparable RTW.
The sleeve length is about right so I'll have to add some extra seam allowance and am going to get rid of the curved bottom (by request).
Oh, and I won't be using a relatives old quilt cover for the real thing!

Look at you go stitching gal. I am certain you will make the center square into a beautiful focal piece. As for the shirt...I kind of like the juxtapostion of the fabric with the masculine arms and neck. :o) Happy creating...
ReplyDeleteI can see that the smell of cookies baking would be more than a little distracting!
ReplyDeleteStill, you won through - and presumably had a cookie as a reward?
The cookies look oh so yummy. I like the shirt. Is it for something special?
