I suppose the only you learn is by getting your feet wet. On the other hand your hints and tips are sure going to help your readers stay a little drier!
ReplyDeleteLesson learned - and thanks for the advice - I'll use this and hopefully be actually able to do something in due course - when I get a design sorted and the nerve up
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing your progress photos soon
I think you are more than brave to even tackle it in the first place , looks so difficult to me . I would like to learn but I think I will start with something a little simpler ;-)
ReplyDeleteSew...unsew...sew...unsew...we all do a lot of it. BUt, your final result will be worth it. The rest will help, too.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry you are having such problems!! I know you will eventually end up with a beautiful finish :0)
