    oops lol I shouldn't have looked. I have been promising to make the children a fancy dress costume for our trip to Butlins, just ordered 3 for them to choose from. Now I really should learn to sew lol.

    It's pretty easy to make kiddies costumes and think how proud you'll be when they receive lots of compliments!!
    Third time lucky on WW I hope :j

    Has anyone got their patterns yet? Ordered on 13th, all I've got is an invoice and the patterns are on "backorder"!

    If you have a local fabric shop they too usually have their patterns half price as well.

    I got two of my patterns within 3 days of ordering but the third was on back order. However that last one was delivered this morning.

    Now, off to find a dressmaker!
