And I managed to get some of that stretch corduroy at the fabric store when I visited.<br /><br />I know how you feel about not having a (cooperative) model: it can be so disheartening to put in all that time and effort and not get a chance to see your outfit in action. Hopefully your little model will outgrow her 'oppositional' tendencies!!J Wohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14431443344285004568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8161170775588638867.post-80469981824230701172013-08-18T17:33:08.327+10:002013-08-18T17:33:08.327+10:00Thanks, as for the pattern, of course you need it!...Thanks, as for the pattern, of course you need it!
