    Midge61 the snuggler pattern is fab, I think I'll give that a go first and then borrow a sleeping bag off one of my friends to draw round so I can make my own pattern :)

    Mooloo thanks for the offer, looks like I'm set to start with the pattern off Midge - we'll see how that one turns out.

    Mooloo, the dress looks great! I like the style with the bare shoulders but the tops of the arms covered.

    Florence your dolls are adorable! How long does one take to make?
    Did the workshops go well in Doncaster?
    I have never timed myself making a doll. The workshops and show at Doncaster were very good. We got photos with Stephanie Weightman/Nancy Watts and Nigel May.

    Rightyho, There are so many pictures on the file that I'm just going to direct link to my album in photobucket. It shows pictures of the whole process including the stage where I had pinned all of the fabric together the wrong way round. Thankfully, I realised before I tried to pin it!
    Anyhoo, here's the linky! http://s921.photobucket.com/albums/ad59/kaz2904/Classic%20stitch%20coasters/My%20first%20roman%20blind/

    Lovely lovely makes everyone else by the way :o- forgot to mention that!
