So much for a quiet time away! Sounds like you got to do exactly what you
had planned so well done.
> The weekend was great, and I got lots done! :)
>
> I sewed up:
>
> One dress toile (Vogue 7995), which is for a customer, but I thought my
> friend would also look good in it, and so she tried it on. Result: it
> fitted like I'd made it for her not the customer, and she wants one for a
> wedding she's going to in August... Now to fit it to the original
> customer!
>
> One skirt toile (Vogue 2898) for another customer.
>
> One top toile (McCall's 2818) for the skirt customer.
>
> Half a top toile (second version of above for different customer), but the
> back didn't fit the side back, so I;ll have to re-cut it. Something a bit
> off in the pattern alteration...
>
> One Fabric Bowl made with two fat quarters and some Timtex.
>
> We bought:
>
> 3.5m pale turquoise Irish linen for my friend's dress. Though not a
> normal habit of mine, I *will* wash this and dry it on HOT to make sure it
> doesn't shrink later. Linen can be a little odd like that. This was from
> Preston Market.
>
> Some serger thread to match. This fabric FRAYS!
>
> A zip likewise...
>
> The end of the bolt of white linen just to add to my stash! :)
>
> I had a great day. DH and friends had a lovely walk, in pouring rain and
> mist! Oddly, though it was HIS weekend away really, I think I got the
> better deal!
