That crewel-work waistcoat is lovely. I wish I would have paid more attention when people tried to teach me to sew when I was a kid. I have lots of ideas, but neither the patience nor the skill to bring them to fruition. I love seeing your latest creation.Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11053430482502520385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4868048249049410936.post-16296709672392003912019-04-08T15:41:04.393+01:002019-04-08T15:41:04.393+01:00Thanks so much, Patti!
