Old fabric

These fabrics are usually safely tucked up in a trunk, but Sue came round and we looked through them. On pulling these out, I realised they came from the late 70s. "Time to get rid of them," said Sue. I felt happy with that decision.
Those polkadots (lawn bought in 1988, £1 a yard) are destined for a blouse: "It's a polka-dot moment now, " said Sue, "so you'd better make that blouse right away." We also identified some fabrics for kimono-type dressing gowns for various people.

Sue brought along her almost-finished "bowls" piece - a delightful counterpoint to the piece by Margaret Anderson that's been hanging on my wall for a few years.
