    I have this pattern - school house tunic
    although it doesnt have the pleats.

    That's a nice pattern Tamster. I'm out of touch with pattern buying & how much they cost nowadays, although still an investment I guess.
    Thanks for the heads up ladies, much appreciated.

    Dispite not feeling very well, I pushed myself and managed to finish the skirt, shorts and top for DGD out of the rest of the duvet cover. I am not sure I will get her to wear them for pictures of she will not let me take them off, and I want them for the holiday next week.
    I have three orders to fulfill before I go if possible. Which will bring me in around £65. So I really need to sew as soon as DGD is in Nursery today. (she is going afternoons this week).

    It's very quiet on here, where is everyone?

    I've made this top out of some bark cloth curtains I got at the car boot.
