This will show how little experience I have with blogging... I've had to re write all of this as my original update of this week literally just walked off the screen to God knows where!
Still... on the brighter side Alice and I were greeted by a young man in little clothing this time rather than the hot panted gentleman of last week...but the best bit after the woohaaa of me having measured in the wrong metric Alice and I BOTH have a nearly finished Roman blind, yes just after one observational and one practical lesson, the 1950's style hysteria bouncing between Alice and I is just escalating. Especially since Alice has got the keys to her new house where she will actually be able to measure all her windows for future floral blinds and curtains ( her boyfriend just doesn't know this yet) from the inside and not the out!
After having a rather toned phone call to my husband who is actually rather better at measuring than myself
(and NO Miss Hopewell didn't get snappy and take the phone off me to get correct measurements faster really!) we could correct my dolls house size blind to fit my human size bathroom window. In gorgeously sexy 'Regal rose' fabric which is actually quite fitting to the room its going to hang as my bathroom is not your typical style it rocks a vintage mirror my mummy found in the attic of her first house some 20 years ago which is now accompanied by an oversized pocket watch clock and another mirror that boasts a rather alluring pre Raphaelite women-interesting I know.
The lesson lasted 2 hours and 30 mins which sounds like quite a while but it just whizzed by due to us having a rather scary looking sewing machine each to work with. face to face the games on, both with our cut fabric and lining we managed to get to the point of sewing on our rod pockets... which reminds me I really should do my homework and finish it off and not leave it to late Sunday evening like I did throughout school.
Leaving with a shopping list for next week and a trip to Dunelm on the weeks events we rattle back to St.Neots with my ever blowing noisy car. embarrassing?? nah not at all, much...
I never realised how much ironing you need to do when sewing!!!
