I've just come back from the course above and wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed it and how useful it was for me. I've come away with a much better idea of making a block for someone and also a personal block. Also some ideas about how to turn this into a pattern for a variety of kirtles and ...

Thanks for the responses and suggestions - the reasurances about the running stitch are great. RE the tailed cap: Thanks for the suggestions. I've tried various ways of wearing a square and a rectangular piece of cloth round my head but I don't like how I look with no hair showing round my face. I'm...

Hi I've been lurking for sometime but now I have my shift cut out and ready to sew and would like to ask about seams.
