I'll be entirely selfish and say I deserve it, since we came to NZ at the end of summer from UK winter and two months later it was winter again, so I reckon I've done well to survive two winters!! :-)Nikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10560774986079141727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9154868623546829074.post-38886627313366218862012-11-14T06:30:17.278+13:002012-11-14T06:30:17.278+13:00What a fun skirt!

It worked out OK, so I'm happy :-) Whether it'll work again is another matter! I can only try!Nikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10560774986079141727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9154868623546829074.post-42479115441154451652012-11-13T22:05:55.460+13:002012-11-13T22:05:55.460+13:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9154868623546829074.post-69952446921273637442012-11-13T19:35:43.140+13:002012-11-13T19:35:43.140+13:00I came here from Kat's blog and have to say th...I came here from Kat's blog and have to say this is beautiful! Absolutely lovely contrast. The reason your waist is too small may be because you didn't alter the math for a three quarter skirt. If you used the same measurements on each piece as you would have for a full circle then you only had three quarters of a waist opening. I know this from making a half circle petticoat and having to figure out the math! Too small is easy to fix though and the end result is great.

I'm from Sydney Aus but haven't seen a board like your sew Easy designer board. Spotlight have a cardboard one which just has a grid on it with a few bits and pieces of design lines. It's made by Wrights, a US firm. Www.wrights.com. Maybe they have fancier ones as well. RebeccaHowardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09929389779938934748noreply@blogger.com
