And I really like the mix of both vertical and horizontal - that makes it way more interesting. <br /><br />If that stretchiness is really bugging you, you might try ironing with a shot of starch. It might control it just enough until you get something else sewn to it. Or....you could just wing it, which seems to be working for you!Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07498453213057487052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569814896996066785.post-15291110582920357612017-03-01T21:53:13.969+00:002017-03-01T21:53:13.969+00:00Cool!Cool!pandchintzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10946088061632823182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569814896996066785.post-72146570828952905562017-03-01T16:55:16.215+00:002017-03-01T16:55:16.215+00:00Oh if only I could stop using exclamation marks an...Oh if only I could stop using exclamation marks and 'hahahahas' all the time :D I swear my vocabulary and grammar is getting worse as I get older!

And that green, oh yes! It kind of reminds me of pistachios with the pink, no idea why though, haha! I think half the fun of working with re-purposed fabrics is trying to get them get it to work in a technical sense - biases are a pain in the but, but the 'multi-seam' has become my friend! I used to think it was 'bad sewing' because I couldn't sew properly, but that's just a load of rubbish, haha!!! xStephiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09461286927746997845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569814896996066785.post-57681639216691860812017-03-01T16:15:02.699+00:002017-03-01T16:15:02.699+00:00Wow, a lot of work you have done.
