A breakthrough, of sorts

After waiting for repairs for about eight months, this dark purple skirt bought in last summer's sales now has been shortened and has its zip replaced. That was somewhat traumatic, as I hadn't sewn in an invisible zipper for, oh, about 20 years. And you forget how! But thanks to a variety of instructions on the internet, and a timely discussion on the UK Sewing group, I bit the bullet and did the whole thing in less than an hour. After all that time getting round to it...

Its first outing was to the opening of London Quilters exhibition, of which more later.
