Happy to help. I think it was Beverley who first sent me to this site.
I have one top made so far, uninteresting things like housework and
grocery shopping have got in the way, but I'm on my way upstairs to the
studio to cut out the next two.

Really nice prints, Olwyn Mary; I am certain the tops made up very pretty.
I may just "have-to" order 1-2 to try if I can wear the fabric. It would be
great to have something different from the 100% cotton I've worn for years.
Thanks for sharing your selections.

Sounds like a jackpot!! This sounds like the orders I get from eQuilter.
100% cotton is my favorite fabric for "around the house" dresses, which I
need to buy a few pieces soon.

Olwyn Mary,
I went to their website to have a look. They seem to have nice
fabric. Are the rayon knits you bought the ones listed as hand wash
or dry clean? How did they wash up in the machine? Any shrinkage? I
have only bought knit fabrics online from EmmaOneSock, so I'm looking
for other sources.
